Meraki Dashboard Catalyst Wireless - What's New

Change: Added "Meraki dashboard for Catalyst Wireless public early access/beta has ended and is now General Availability!"

 

 

MG:

MG Wireless WAN Dashboard Settings

Change: Added "When Auto SIM failover is enabled, the MG will fail over to the standby SIM if it cannot establish dashboard connectivity for 5 minutes."

Change: Added "AWS applications such as Amazon Cloud Watch and Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) is currently not supported to be used with vMX's."

 

MX Firewall Settings

Change: Update "FQDN Support" consideration: "The communication between the client and DNS server can be an inter-VLAN or NAT'ed traffic flow, but cannot be intra-VLAN (this DNS traffic is not snooped)."

 

Network Objects Configuration Guide

Change: Added "Layer 3 inbound rules cannot be manually configured unless the NAT Exceptions (AKA No NAT) early access feature is enabled."

 

vMX NAT Mode Use Cases and FAQ

Change: Updated vMX in NAT mode behavior: "vMXs in NAT mode will not advertise subnets that are available on the public/private cloud. If an AutoVPN peer wants to access resources inside the public/private cloud, it must send all its traffic to the vMX, which will then NAT the traffic and send it across its WAN interface into the public/private cloud environment. This requires a full tunnel configuration on the AutoVPN peer communicating with the vMX."

 

MX Cold Swap - Replacing an Existing MX with a Different MX

Change: Added "Before connecting to the dashboard and pulling its config, the MX uses its out-of-the-box config, which includes running DHCP services on a default subnet. This can cause issues for downstream clients, as they may receive unexpected IP addresses if they are connected to the MX LAN before the MX downloads its configuration. To prevent this scenario, only the MX WAN port should be connected initially, while the MX LAN ports should remain disconnected until the MX has checked into the Meraki Dashboard."

 

Meraki MX ThousandEyes Configuration Guide

Change: Added "Full ThousandEyes Path Visualization support for Applications over the AutoVPN tunnel is a work in progress".

 

Configuring Active Directory with MX Security Appliances

Change: Added "AD integration with NTLM (New Technology Lan Manager) is only compatible with version 1 - NTLMv1. Any other version will fail."

Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

Change: Added note about the default naming behavior for the DDNS Hostname feature being changed.

 

AnyConnect Client Download and Deployment

Change: Added "The AnyConnect app for ChromeOS is still listed on the Chrome Web Store, however it is no longer maintained nor supported. Chromebook users should install the Android version of the app instead where possible."

 

AnyConnect on the MX Appliance

Change: Updated certificate requirement: "A chain certificate must establish a full chain of trust back to a root CA, including any intermediate certificates that sit between the device and root certs."

 

 

MS:

Using the MS Live Tools

Change: Added "Traditional Traceroute tool is only available when L3 interfaces have been configured on the switch."

 

 

MR:

Automatic Frequency Coordination

Change: Added Wi-Fi 7 access points.

 

Capturing Wireless Traffic from a Client Machine

Change: Added "When capturing traffic on an end device, you are able to see L3 packets since the wNIC cards can map them. The MR's perform a monitor mode PCAP, meaning you cannot see L3 packets. Dashboard monitor mode PCAP is passive and more suited for observing authentication and association frames."

 

Wireless (MR) Firmware Features Directory

Change: Added "AI-RRM (NDP support)" and "Intelligent capture".

 

Low Power Mode on Cisco Switches

Change: "Alternatively, PoE can be disabled and then re-enabled without shutting down the port itself with the "power inline" command."

Enterprise Agreements

Change: Added section "Adding Additional Devices to Use Your Enterprise Agreement".

 

Adding and Removing Devices from Dashboard Networks

Change: Added "If swapping out an MX appliance with a static WAN IP, the uplink config (Appliance Status > Uplink) should be recorded - including IP, default gateway, subnet mask, and DNS servers - before proceeding to step 3, as this config will not be saved."

 

Meraki Co-Termination Licensing Overview

Change: Updated section "MS Licensing Options".

 

Alerts and Notifications

Change: Added "All firmware upgrade alerts will be sourced from the same email address. To ensure that alerts are not being lost to a spam filter, please be sure to add support-noreply@meraki.com as a trusted email source."

 

Manually Integrating Cisco Umbrella with Meraki Networks
