Greetings, Meraki Community! I recently started investigating some complaints at a remote site. In the event log, I see the following message:
Ethernet port carrier change device: port1, carrier: false
...which was suggested by a support engineer to be the Z3's uplink. If I go by the label on the physical device, port1 is indeed the uplink.
By this logic, port1 = WAN
However, if I do an API call to get the Z3's neighbors, I see that the interfaces are broken down by "wan" AND "port", making the API output's "port1" the physical / labeled Port 2, which is a PC:
{
"ports": {
"wan0": {
"lldp": {
"sourcePort": "wan0",
"systemName": "Mitel IP Phone",
"managementAddress": "192.168.11.114",
"portId": "xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx"
}
},
"port1": {
"lldp": {
"sourcePort": "port1",
"portId": "xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx" <------ HP desktop
}
}
},
By this logic, port1 = PC
So, just to confirm, the Meraki event log is using the physical / labeled ports on its log entries, whereas the API would likely use the table with corresponding ports below?
API wan0 = physical / labeled port 1
API port1 = physical / labeled port 2
API port2 = physical / labeled port 3
API port3 = physical / labeled port 4
API port4 = physical / labeled port 5
Hopefully I explained this well enough. Thanks for your time!
