MX64W and MX84 VPN Participants

[Farner-Bocken]

MX64W and MX84 products.

I'm having an issue that is only cosmetic but is bothering me none-the-less.  When I've set up everything location we have a "- wired" tag after them and I have no idea why.  I can't remove the tag as it only shows up in the Remote VPN Participants and in the VPN Status of our MX84 dashboard.  

It doesn't show up for every address and that's the part that's bothering me.

Thank you for any input that you all can provide.

If you are using combined networks (multiple Meraki product types in the same network), then each network "type" actually gets a - (product) appended to the name. "Wired" is the name for MX, "switch" is the name for MS and "wireless" is the name for MR. You'll see this in the Dashboard URL when you're in each product config area.

Is there any way to change that?

[MRCUR]

If you run non-combined networks they will be named exactly what you name them.

The problem is I have some that have the wired tag and some that don't, so is there any way to change them?

[MRCUR]

Is the Owatonna network combined or MX only? 

[Farner-Bocken]

They should all be MX only, but we set them all up as combined in case we wanted to add anything in the future.  Can we change the hardware type after they are set up or is that not possible though?

See the very end of this doc for splitting networks: https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Organizations_and_Networks/Combined_Dashboa...

You can then rename the network to the desired name.
