Hello, my name is Larry Darnell. We are putting in some new equipment in a new building and we believe we are going with the best technology. I have been using Cisco equipment for over 10 years and we are excited to get to use Meraki tech too. I am sure I will have something valuable to contribute once we have finished setting it all up in the next few weeks.

[BradMac]

Hi, I'm Brad the lone IT guy at a small non-profit out in Southern Utah. I have slowly been able to completely integrate Meraki products into our network starting with the Free AP. I love the products. I am happy to have this new resource to help me learn more about the products and features.

Hello Meraki Community.

Ed here, Sys Admin for MSP company based in BC.

[billo]

I've been using Meraki stuff since 2012 I think, at the small medical practice I support, and at a couple of companies I started, and also at home. I really love the software, it's such a nice refuge from the terrible embedded stuff that has existed on network equipment since forever. 

Cheers,

Bill

Hey everyone!

Network Admin for Batteries Plus Bulbs. Q1 - 2018 we are going full Meraki at our Corporate Headquarters/Datacenter and a possible Meraki implementation to our 700+ retail locations in the next year or two. I look forward to working with the technology and the community!

[Keson]

Hi,

I am Keson, an ISO and Network Manager.  I have been using Meraki for quite a few years, before it came to Cisco.  I love the product, and most of all the support model.  Now with the community, I like it even better because I believe in the wisdom of the crowd and the sharing spirit.  Imagine a world without googling, web surfing, online communities!  Anything one looks for, or experienced, someone else had the same ideas and perhaps tried before. Wisdom is shared so freely and informative.

Hi everyone.  I'm Andrew Murphy.  I work for Stephenson Equipment Inc.  We use Meraki gear to connect our networks.  I'm a big fan of the dashboard and the training that Meraki and it's partners give out.  It's a great way to get into Network/Firewall/Routing without having to know the full code.

Hi all,

I'm an IT technician and network/systems engineer with a print company based out of Scotland. We're full Meraki stack for networking (multiple MX, MS and MR across many sites), and we're pretty happy with it. We transitioned from an aging standard Cisco stack (ISR+Catalyst network, disorganised wifi and access switches).

[snafumaster]

Hi, All!

My name is Matthew, friends call me Matty.  I'm the Director of IT for a smallish, but national AV and Computer rentals company.  We're getting ready to open our 10 location soon.  Cisco shop, but I've been integrating and moving towards Meraki, and very happy about that.

Looking forward to this community for the same reason I am happy to be expanding my Meraki footprint...I like to do it myself when I can, but sometime, you just need a little help.  I hope I can share what I've learned as well!

My 'handle' was given to me years ago by an online friend and it suits me well...I love to fix messed up stuff.

Hi all,

Kevin here. I'm a systems/network admin here in the United States for Pioneer Balloon. We make latex and foil balloons and have about 10 sites across the US. We use Cisco for our switching and Meraki MX boxes and Meraki access points. The Meraki infrastructure has made it easier to manage our sites remotely for sure. It's great to be able to handle issues from anywhere and see what's going on at our sites.

Also been using the teleworker gateways for people who work from home a large percentage of the time. Has made it so much easier to support them.

Jeff from Maryland here! I'm an IT Manager for a small municipal government. I've been a long time user/supporter/promoter of Meraki products from way back in the day even before the Cisco acquisition. Fell in love with it from day 1 and never looked back.

Started with the free webinar AP and now own a full stack of Cisco Meraki products across 6 locations. The only think we don't have are the MV cameras. I'm hoping to deploy a few of those early in 2018. 

By all means send some free swag my way 🙂

Would love to know why MX60 device has a hard time reconnecting a U340 AT&T beam device if the MX is rebooted. It is stuck trying to Connect and never says ready unless the USB is unplugged and then plugged back in. Other than that no issues with Meraki devices.

[anyland]

Hi!

I am an IT Director for a locally owned and operated office supply/office furniture/retail business! Think Dunder Miflin but way cooler! Just jumped onto the Meraki bandwagon recently and am going whole hog. My previous role I was the IT manager for a publicly traded company with many offices throughout North America. We used Cisco exclusively for servers, phones and all networking gear. I went through two full equipment change overs there and it was pretty cool stuff. At my new job we are removing Cisco gear and replacing with all Meraki. Oh how things have changed!

I am loving the web dashboard and the wireless is rock solid. Happy to be a part of the community!

[MikeFus]

Hello everyone!  My name is Mike, and I'm the Director of Business Affairs for a small private school in Harrisonburg, VA.  Areas of my responsibility include the Business Office, Technology Administration, Facilities Management and Crisis Management.  My career prior to this job was in IT, so that's still my primary passion and expertise... but in a small non-profit, we all wear many hats!

We migrated to Meraki beginning with the free Systems Manager, then quickly expanding to standardize our wireless on Meraki, and just in the last year we migrated our switches and firewall to Meraki.  We're finally under one unified platform for our network infrastructure!  We currently have 11 switches, 30 access points, and a MX100 security appliance.

I'm looking forward to taking advantage of the collective wisdom of other network admins through this forum.

[BrianMcD]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Thomas and I'm fairly new to deploying Meraki hardware. My job is to build IT departments from scratch for small companies that are growing rapidly - that entails anything from line of business applications (eCom, POS, OMS, etc)  to scalable IT infrastructure.

Meraki has made the infrastructure deployments a fun project for me. We are opening offices and stores around the globe and managing that operations with a small team is at times challenging. So I am happy to join a community of peers that I can surely learn a lot from.

Happy Holidays!

Hello everyone in Meraki land.

Name: Ryan VanBeek

Position: CIO for CDP Holdings Group / Neighborhood Radiology Services / Long Island Radiology Associates

We have been a Meraki customer for approx. 2 years and have deployed many MX, MS, MR appliances to our entire environment including 7 locations and a data center co-lo.  we are looking forward to expanding into Azure with our new vMX appliance.  We have an overall positive experience with the Meraki products but sometimes wish they were a bit more robust. We have supplemented the network with Cicso CSR 1000v for 3rd party and client VPNs and have also found some workarounds with technical support for things like FLOW CONTROL and DataCenterBridging on our aggregate switches and stacked core switches.

In my spare time I enjoy expanding my home automation, playing with my 3 young daughters, and enjoying a nice dinner with my wife.  Time for golf would be nice as well but that ship has sailed!

Pleasure to make everyones acquaintance and look forward to a rewarding knowledge sharing experience.

[Frank]

Hi, my name is Frank T and I am a Merakiholic.

I was lucky to test one MR18 some years ago and never looked back.

My experience with Meraki is, it simply works. All of it.

It might be that some settings are not "normal" and Cisco addicts will mostly scream and have difficulties to change over.

But for me, Meraki is the network life saver.

The only really bad thing about MX devices is the VPN set up on Windows. I guess there is much to improve.

Hope you keep going and invent more devices to put on your cloud.

Well done.

Thanks

Replacing Sonicwall firewalls, HP switches and Cisco Autonomous Aironet AP's. Hope this will be a smooth transition. Looking forward to replacing them all if it works as advertised! Fingers crossed!

Hi All!

I am Roshan, Senior manager IT @ Evolvus Solutions. Glad that I found this forum to get the right information on Meraki MX84 as our vendors were misleading us. I hope this forum will help me to finalize the right product.

Hi All,

Glad to see this community being launched. My name is Mike Cachine and I'm the CTO at the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Virginia. I've been a Meraki customer since before it was Cisco. Needless to say I'm a big fan of Meraki products and watching the technology evolve over the years. A great platform for organization's of all sizes, but especially for non profits which are short on IT resources and need to get the best return possible out of technology investments. Looking forward to interacting with you all.

[jehernandez]

HI, my name is Julio Hernandez. I am net admin for a small engineering firm. We have over 30 offices and utilize the meraki lan switches, aps, and mx appliances. We mainly use a standard lan config set, mixed with a handful of site-to-site vpns.

When I am not at work, I spend time studying and playing with my 3yr old son. Mostly playing mini basketball, baseball, or building Robots and cars using our imagination with legos.

Greeting: Hello.

Name: David Carroll.

Occupation: Technomage (I.T. Associate).

Meraki Desires: To learn from the best and to help where I can.

Education: HS Diploma and an A+ Certification from ECTC (not CompTIA).

Hobbies: Tinkering with computers and cars, playing games (PC - mostly through Steam), playing music (drums, bass, guitar), watching Sci-Fi movies and T.V. shows.

Additional Comments:

• I enjoy sharing information, but I appreciate concise organisation, hence the format of this post.
• It's "normal" for I.T. people to be introverted, independent, and isolationist. However, I would like to encourage any of you who feel so inclined to send me an email. Consider this: what good is a network admin who doesn't network?

My name is Steve Guthrie and I am the COO of Blue Ocean Technologies, Inc.  I am also a founder of the company.  We are moving as many customer as we can to Meraki, because nothing makes Hosted VoIP work better than a great network design!

Welcome, Steve! And I'll second that: a solid network design makes all the difference between a successful VoIP setup and a failed one!

I am very grateful for the fun Meraki stuff you send @Mr_IT_Guy. It's very wa... what was that?! I heard a squeak! Did you hear a squeak. Brb....

Have a great day everyone :-)....

Hi @KJ -

Welcome to the community! Sounds like you may be trying to sign up for CMNA, our training for partners. If you are a Meraki end-user rather than a partner, you should take a look at CMNO - https://meraki.cisco.com/webinars/cmno

Hi....My name is Brent.  I am what I would identify as a neophyte sys admin.  I really dig Meraki. So much so, that i created a little diorama of gummy bears in a one inch high model data center, nestled in the body of a MR42 box.

I especially like the wireless roaming affinity article/response, on why certain IOT devices seem to not roam when you think they should roam.

[DavidCook]

Hi, My name is David and I am a network engineer for a school system in New Orleans, I just got a Meraki certification and we have deployed Meraki AP's in a couple of our sites. I am currently renewing my CCNA and I hope to get a CCNP certification in Routing and Switching. I am looking at all the Cisco disciplines though for the CCNP. I think I am about to get laid off from the School Board, so I am looking at other jobs in IT. I figure certifying will help in an interview. When I am not at work I enjoy working on restoring my old New Orleans home, fishing and photography.
