Meraki Go PoE Switches Resolved

Hi everyone,

 

For those of you using Meraki Go PoE switches, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience yesterday as we worked to resolve a firmware issue that was impacting their ability to deliver PoE. 

 

We've found a resolution for this issue, so if you were affected and are still encountering PoE power issues:

  1. Please open a support case in the Meraki Go mobile app or web portal (see steps here)
  2. Provide us with the case number - either in this thread, via DM to myself or Art Marshall (@ArtMarshall), or via merakigo@cisco.com, so that we can ensure that your issue is addressed.

 

We are also actively working on a remediation plan to prevent this from happening in the future. 

 

Again, we very much appreciate your patience as we worked on fixing this and thank each of you for being a Meraki Go customer.

Thanks for the update. I do not have a case open, and this is for a few of my clients.

Will the fix be applied automatically, like this firmware was? Are there any steps that need to be taken manually?

Each organization will need a case opened to address this problem so that we can ensure that we are fixing all affected switches.

 

The fix will be applied for each case by our support team once we have authorization to perform the changes. The process is fairly quick and the switch will restart into the new firmware version. 

 

Once you have case numbers, please share them with us. 

Thank you!

There is no way to open this without a case? These are layer 2, unmanaged switches. I rarely set up an account with the Meraki Go app, as I dont have any need to manage the switch. How can I go about getting devices fixed that are not tied to an account? These switches are spread out across multiple sites, so me going to each location is not viable.

Unfortunately they need to be claimed in an organization in order for support to be able to resolve the issue.

 

If you have serial numbers, you will be able to claim them to your existing Meraki Go account and open a case from there.

Hi all, I have two additional things to note:

  1. If you have recently purchased a Meraki Go switch and have not powered it on, please claim it to your organization before plugging the switch in. This will prevent your switch from attempting the firmware upgrade to GS 15.21.
  2. If you have a switch that has been powered but that has not been claimed to a Meraki Go account, you will need to claim it to a Meraki Go account before contacting support. 

Thank you for your patience and for being a Meraki Go customer!

I only have a few clients and don't think I have had this issue yet, but can you please clarify if I am understanding correctly that even switches never been claimed may still try to upgrade themselves?

That is correct. Switches that have not been claimed to an organization will attempt to upgrade themselves to GS 15.21.

Kind of a big deal

I just checked 5 clients I have using Go switches and they are all 14.32 or 14.33.  Are they safe?

Actually one on 11.31

If those Go switches are all claimed to an organization, they will not attempt an upgrade to GS 15.21 and are safe!

Hey, I also have this problem: Case 09425877 - EDIT: On GS 15.21

Added you to the support queue @rigrx !

Perfect, thanks! 🤝🏻 How long will it take to get fixed? 

I don't have a specific estimate but the support team is making good progress on getting to everyone!

Ok thanks anyways! Do I get a reply once it is solved? 

Yes, the support team will contact you first requesting authorization to make the change (since it will briefly take your switch offline) and then confirm when the procedure is complete.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi, I opened a case 2 days ago, no. 09415683 and

  • was asked to reset to factory settings - did that, did not help
  • to give Meraki permission to rollback my switches; I gave the permission, but nothing happened yet

Please follow up for the 2 GS110-24P in my Meraki account.

Thanks - I've made sure that your case is added to the queue for this issue. Our support team will be in contact with you.

Hello, when can I expect the fix/rollback?

Today is already the 5th day without PoE capabilities.

It is very urgent, since all Wifi APs, security cameras and the building entry management need PoE.

@Gogo sounds like Support helped you get back and running this morning, but let us know if you're still experiencing any issues. Many thanks for your patience!

Thank you. After the rollback to Version GS 14.33.1 everything seems to run fine now.

It leaves the question, whether I should deactivate automatic updates for the moment until Meraki team has fixed the problem in the newest Firmware Version.

Please tell the support team or update my ticket that I authorize them to push the changes immediately.  The switch has been temporarily taken off the network and is not service any clients.  It is online and reported to the dashboard.

I dont think i have access to serial number for my switch (with out taking it out) can it be pulled from the amazon order 2 years ago. our switch is not working

Unfortunately we don't have access to Amazon order information.

In the Meraki Go app, the serial number is visible by selecting the device under the Hardware tab.

I have two GS110-48P units that are not functioning since last Thursday.  No POE.  Case # 09427741.  It sure would have saved me a lot of time to have known it was a firmware issue instead of figuring it out myself and googling for an answer.

We've added your case to the support queue. Thank you!

Please apply the patch to the switch on Case 09438893.

 

The switch is segregated from the rest of the network and is not service clients at this time.  I approve pushing the patch asap without notification.

 

Thank you.

We've added your case to the support queue. Thank you!
