Meraki

JeroenVercoulen

Our company decided to move to a new Warehouse location in the Neighborhood. There was no network infrastructure there so we needed to create an new Meraki network for this location. The challenge we faced during deployment of this new location is that the fiber connections weren't in time for the Go-Live of this site. We used an MG21 with a 4G connection to temporary make sure we would be able to use this site.

We where using the following Meraki and Cisco gear

2x MX85

1x MG21

4x C9300-48P-M

2x C9300-48T-M

8x C9200-48P in Hybrid Mode

1x MS130-8P

1x MS120-24P

98x MS130-8

66x CW9164I-MR

In the future for this location we hope to get 2 C9500-24Y4C to be able to dive the core over the 2 MER locations available in this site. So we can be fully redundant in setup.

Also the C9300 switches are running the Cloud Native IOS-XE 17.15.3

Nice!
I'm really interested to know where all of the MS130-8 switches went.

Were they all to provide PoE and connectivity to the AP's or was there another specific use case for requiring so many 8 port switches?

Also, big fan of C9500-24Y4C and C9500-48Y4C switches.

They're both very capable core switches.

Good morning @Brash

We use a lot of reasonable dynamic packing tables. Every packing table has at least 1 Thin Client and 2 printers connected to it, but it can go up to 4 printers connected. To keep the cables in the patch cabinet as low as possible we chose to use the MS130-8 connected to the back of a packing table to distribute the devices on this table.

It also gives us the flexibility to assign different vlans to Thin-Clients and printer, or to add additional security by 802.1x for example
