The Meraki documentation site (documentation.meraki.com) includes hundreds of articles ranging from basic administration guides to deep dive troubleshooting tips for networking issues.

 

For this month’s challenge, I want to know your thoughts on one of these two questions: 

 

  1. If you had to pick the top 3 must-read articles on documentation.meraki.com, which would you select?
  2. What new content would you love to see added to our documentation?

How to enter

In a comment on this post, either list your top 3 documentation articles or provide your opinion about what new documentation content you’d like to see (or both) and be entered to win swag! Submit your thoughts in a comment on this blog post before 11 a.m. PST on Monday, February 17th (2/17/2020). We’ll then draw two at random to win an induction speaker!

Recently starting employment with a MSP that has multiple clients using Meraki the top three articles I seem to keep for reference are above.
Site to Site VPN. 

Client VPN OS configuration

Port forwarding and NAT Rules

 

Can almost fix all of my problems reading documentation.  If not, support is usually pretty quick to resolve problems.

I'd like to see if Meraki could create an external RADIUS service for devices you want to "manage" but not be anywhere near your internal production equipment.  That way I'd not have to utilize my third goto link listed.

I'm a fan of most of the deployment guides, particularly for the MX and MS devices, as well as the Site-to-site VPN settings and BGP VPN Design Guide.  All have been very useful.

 

I would like to see more in depth coverage of the new MG21 series including references to other devices you need to update (MX).  Sometimes documents assume that the reader knows a related topic that is needed to make a solution work.  Although Meraki support is always available to fill-in the missing information!

https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Syslog_Server_Over... Thank you for doing this because I LOVE watching live logs on my MX/MR and be able to search through them quickly with patterns, etc. I would like to see this page get updated with more information as it doesn't have enough or missing. The Syslog config only has HOST but if you have tons of devices in the same IP range. It's best to use NETMASK instead of HOST which you don't have documented. https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Cisco_Meraki_Best_Practice_Design/... When setting up the MX, I was reading this a lot and the sublinks to ensure the switch over from a Cisco ASA to MX. https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Content_Filtering_and_Threat_Protection/Content_Filtering It's simple and easy to understand but I do use this feature a lot but unsure you guys support regular expressions (REGEX) which would help to stop patterns.

Hi!

 

I really love how friendly would it be the Meraki Documentation. 

For instance the documentation about the IPSec between Non-Meraki and Meraki it´s very great, bc I didn´t new how to do it at all, because usually we are used with ASAS to establish IPSec tunnels but In Meraki I neither thought if it woud it be possible and I found it, Its possible!

 

I ♥ Meraki!

@NJacobe 

more documentation about merging networks and organizations

That's a good call-out, I'll add that to our backlog.

 

We do have documentation on what we refer to as "combining" networks (https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Organizations_and_Networks/Combined_Dashboa...)
But I assume you're referring to the general concept of "how do I best go about taking 2 things and making them 1 on a network level and org level", is that correct? I would agree that's an area we could improve.

 

more about MI and their new VoIP features

https://documentation.meraki.com/MI/MI_VoIP_Health

We just published a new document on MI VoIP Health. Hopefully that's helpful?

3D model of hardware appliance would be really cool!

Interesting idea. That might be feasible but would take a little work. Could you think of a good use case for it?

 

I'd love to see the API documented in a way were it could be used as a CLI for Meraki.

Do you think the limitation right now is that the documentation is not clear/simple enough to make that easy to do (which is possible for us to fix), or do you feel it's more a limitation of what the API is capable of right now (which is more a matter of time)?

Gotta be honest, haven't used Docs page all that much. Maybe initially for l3 switching years back? Band 14 availability in your cellular offerings. For now we'll stick with Cradlepoint to provide LTE failover. ACL rules page needs to be revamped. Completely. It's horrible. MX firewall rules is better, but I'd like to see the addition of a services and/or network dialogue. One of those kill buttons used by Fisher Stevens aka "The Plague" in Hackers.

We are experimenting with this but it doesn't simply what we are trying to accomplish.  Without involving an SM client install we are wanting to choose where and where not certain clients have access to... in essence, they register their MAC address's and devices and we then "tell them" what they have access to.  The best description is a "glorified guest wifi" with ubber control of who can use it... Including wifi-enabled smart devices (TV's, DVD players, etc.). The Meraki "user" is a nice idea but doesn't have the control, ease, and insight we are looking for.

My biggest issue with documentation is it is wrong and not up to date.  When new features are brought out part of the introduction process should be to update the documentation.   Especially true with insight documentation.  Features are removed and added but the documentation does not reflect this.

 

Other common issue is the screens shots in the documentation are of the OLD UI and not the updated UI.  (SM documentation suffers from this a lot)

 

 

I use this one a lot to send to clients

https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Client_VPN/Client_VPN_OS_Configuration

but it is written too technical for end users and misses step that tech people know but end users do not

Need a End user version of this

 

This one I use as well

Very helpful and "hot" topic for me or anything related to automation via APIs.

 

The Meraki Dashboard API

https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Other_Topics/The_Cisco_Meraki_Dashboard_API

 

I would like to find Meraki Dashboard integration with the customer internal ticketing/incident system so a meaningful event at the dashboard will trigger an API call which will create an internal ticket to be routed to the appropriate IT group for review/resolution.

 

This one is helpful but needs to be expanded.

Another great document/resource.

There's more information on order of priority for group policies in the Troubleshooting Group Policies doc. If that wasn't clear from the main Group Policy doc, it should probably be more obvious/easier to discover, so I'll look into that.

Hopefully that's helpful?

My biggest issue with documentation is it is wrong and not up to date.  When new features are brought out part of the introduction process should be to update the documentation.   Especially true with insight documentation.  Features are removed and added but the documentation does not reflect this.

Our policy is for public documentation to be a release requirement for public beta for any new features or hardware. I'll be the first to admit that things have been missed before, but we're working hard at keeping that tight. Of any of the products though, I'm a bit surprised Insight is the pain point.

 

Insight VoIP Health, as the most recent example, was documented before release. (https://documentation.meraki.com/MI/MI_VoIP_Health)

Web App Health underwent a UI overhaul, and I believe the documentation reflected the changes within a couple days. Insight should be fairly complete right now, but maybe there was a more painful spot a couple months ago?

 

Honestly, if there's anything you feel is missing though, let me know and I'll work that into our agenda.

 

 

Other common issue is the screens shots in the documentation are of the OLD UI and not the updated UI.  (SM documentation suffers from this a lot)

Yeah, you're not wrong. There are ~1800 articles, so we do have many outdated screenshots. We perform about 10-30 edits per day, and our documentation is living as much as our UI is, so we're always working to keep up. We do try to prioritize screenshot-updates in articles where the actual workflow has changed, rather than just the appearance, though we'd obviously prefer to update all of them. I understand the pain of it though, and we're working on it.

 

I use this one a lot to send to clients
https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Client_VPN/Client_VPN_OS_Configuration
but it is written too technical for end users and misses step that tech people know but end users do not
Need a End user version of this

That's an interesting idea. Could you possibly give an example of what information is missing for technical users, and what information would be extraneous for end users?

 

 

More documentation on using DEP with SM  the current documentation  does not explain well the apple part of the setup  (old screens shots)

We're in-progress with some major updates to our DEP documentation. Keep an eye on our documentation digests, should be coming in a little while.

This might, again, not be exactly what you're looking for, but have you seen our new Trusted Access feature? Your use case sounds really similar.

 

https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Trusted_Access_for_S...

 

Meraki Trusted Access is an easy, secure way to connect iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices to Meraki MR wireless networks without enrolling the device into Systems Manager. It provides simple, secure certificate-based EAP-TLS authentication, eliminating the need to setup a certificate authority (CA) or RADIUS server.
Once you have defined which users can have access to your network, they will be able to download the configuration profile needed to join the SSID from a self-service portal using the authentication method you’ve defined for the network.

It's an SM/MR feature but it doesn't require the devices to enroll, and it allows you to have secure client connectivity without RADIUS, you manage them as normal dashboard clients. And you can apply it on an SSID-level, which allows you to separate access to your network resources with standard segmentation.

 

I think it's pretty sleek. Might be helpful?

I love all the basic step by step articles on setup, and managing all of our gear, even though we have a bigger tech firm over me, I do a lot of the smaller stuff (open ports and things), it also means a lot to me to understand the changes that tech firm might make and why.  I suppose I like learning and I am curious so it interest me.

I've talked with the guys developing Meraki Trusted Access.  While very intriguing it still is very limited in devices that can join at the moment. Last conversation was limited to Apple devices?  I need it to cover like an Apartment type situation where residents "in that housing" can connect what they need (again, Smart TV's, MS Laptops, DVD player, game consoles, etc...) while excluding those who don't live in "that housing area". Again these are personal devices gaining access to areas designated for them while excluding them and others from other areas (dictated by policy and procedure).
