A new candidate switch firmware version is available. Firmware MS 17.1.3 was just released on 2024-11-08 and has been in this firmware category since 2024-11-08.
MS17 introduces a change to the default login credentials for the device local status page, using "admin" as the username, and the device serial number (upper case with dashes) as the password
Ms12x important notes
If DAI is enabled prior to upgrading the network to MS 16, ensure that trusted ports and/or DAI-allow lists are configured prior to upgrading to avoid potential network outages.
Ms420 important notes
Devices configured for this version will run MS 15.22
New feature highlights
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring)
Intelligent Capture
RSPAN and VLAN Based SPAN
SmartPorts
New ms130x feature highlights
Adaptive Policy on MS130X/R models
General fixed issues
Fixed a bug that caused some 802.3af devices to display as 802.3at in Switch Port Details
Fixed a bug that caused switches to forward some RADIUS requests that included an invalid source MAC address
Fixed an issue that caused boot loops when attempting to upgrade to MS17 while using an externally calibrated third party SFP
Fixed an issue that caused clients to get stuck in an auth_pending status until the switch port the client was connected to was bounced
Stacking fixed issues
Fixed a cross-stack port mirroring bug that incorrectly showed CDP/LLDP traffic from the source port as being connected to other members of the stack
Fixed an issue that caused switch stacks to learn MAC addresses from ports in the STP blocking state, triggering MAC flap messages in the event log
Resolved an issue that prevented an active stack member from managing STP state on other stack members after the active member rebooted
Resolved an issue that sometimes prevented stack ports from being correctly reconfigured after stack link flaps
Ms130 fixed issues
Resolved a bug that caused some MS130s to stop reporting to Dashboard while upstream switches reported UDLD issues
Ms210 fixed issues
Fixed a bug that caused MS210 stack port LEDs to incorrectly indicate an orange light rather than the expected green
Ms220 fixed issues
Fixed an issue that caused the packet capture files generated by the Local Status Page to be empty
Ms355 fixed issues
Fixed a bug that occasionally caused some MS355 switches to reboot
Ms425 fixed issues
Fixed a bug that caused high device utilization on MS425 stacks when multicast routing was enabled
Resolved an issue that caused pNIC errors when forwarding some LLC packets
General known issues
If voice and data are configured to use the same VLAN DHCP discovery messages may not be correctly forwarded from client devices after being authenticated via 802.1x on the voice VLAN
LACP links may take an extended time to come back up when the Active Member of a stack reboots
RADIUS communications may not recover after an initial failure when Critical Auth is enabled
Some clients may be incorrectly added to a configured Guest VLAN when authenticated via RADIUS immediately after a switch reboot
Some switches may encounter an error, "incompatible configuration for attributes: allowed_vlans" when attempting to aggregate ports regardless of allowed VLANs configured in Dashboard
Switches move LACP ports to an active forwarding state if configured. This can cause loops when connecting to an MS390 or other Catalyst switches unless the bundles are configured on the MS390/Catalyst switches first. All non-catalyst ports are configured in passive LACP mode so that loops do not occur between Meraki switches (always present)
Ms120 known issues
Some client devices may fail to authenticate via MAB in an access policy with hybrid authentication enabled, resulting in 802.1X authentication failures
Switches may fail to provide PoE power to legacy access points (always present)
Ms12x known issues
MS120/125s may fail to forward link-local multicast [224.0.0.x] traffic when 'Flood unknown multicast traffic' is disabled
Ms130 known issues
MS130-X switches may experience slow upstream throughput when connected directly to an MX device via an mGig port
Ms250 known issues
Switchport with Multi-Domain Hybrid auth access policy randomly goes into a port not forwarding state
Ms350 known issues
Cable tests may fail to execute on mGig ports
Enabling Auto-stacking on MS350s may remove existing L3 SVIs
Ms35x known issues
In rare instances, stack ports fail to initialize after an upgrade (always present)
Incorrect SFP port mappings may disrupt SFP functionality
Switches may experience an unexpected reboot (present since MS 15)
Ms425 known issues
In rare circumstances MS425 switches may encounter a software crash that results in a reboot
In some circumstances ARP requests may not be correctly forwarded after connectivity is restored following an inter-DC VPLS DCI outage
MS425s in stack configurations may periodically trigger New DHCP Server alerts that include mismatched VLANs/subnets
Ms4xx known issues
When an SFP module is inserted/removed, BPDUs can be delayed leading to STP transitions in the network (predates MS 12)
