Track by IP
Note: Track by IP is not supported in combined dashboard networks. To combine an MX network that is tracking clients by IP, switch it first to track by MAC address or Unique Client Identifier before proceeding.
Note: Similar to Track by Unique client identifier, some tools, such as client connectivity alerts and client ping, are based on ARP and will not be available when using Track by IP.
This option is best used in the two case scenarios:
First is in split networks, where all layer three devices are Meraki devices but they are in separate dashboard networks.
Second, in cases where there is a non-Meraki layer 3 switch performing inter-VLAN routing downstream of the MX. If you are using Meraki layer 3 switches, enable Unique Client Identifier instead. Since non-Meraki layer 3 devices will modify the source MAC address of client traffic, the MX cannot identify clients by their MAC as shown below.
