You don´t have combined network? You don´t have any MS in your network?

@Roska  yes i have ms in my network but i don't have combined network

In combined networks, topology shows an integrated Cisco Meraki network that has MX Security Appliances, MS Switches, and MR Access points. Squares represent MX security appliances, rectangles represent MS switches, stacked rectangles represent MS physical switch stacks, and circles represent MR access points. Non-Meraki equipment is also detected if it is one hop away (and will appear as an empty diamond); depending on the protocols supported by a non-Meraki device, the topology view may be able to discern LLDP data like model type, IP, and manufacturer. Meraki devices in a different network will be denoted by blue diamonds.

You need a combined network.

 

In an non-combined network it will only work within switches interconnected

Kind of a big deal

As @Roska had asked what's in your network currently?

@kYutobi  every device is in separate network

Why is every device in a separate network? I wonder what reasoning or layout you have to want that as a setup?

Depending on the age of setup, combined networks weren't always a thing, @DillonofAnch17. I've run into folks who habitually set things up as though combined networks still aren't a thing, even though Meraki released that... :checks notes: in 2013. 

 

One can combine networks together relatively easily, though. There's a good document, because it's Meraki: https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Organizations_and_Networks/Combined_Dashboa...
