I have an existing Cisco S500 Switch stack that I want to add a Meraki MS225 switch stack to. I can't get the routing to work. I can ping the local S500 IP address but nothing else. Where can I find a cook book configuration to follow?
You cannot stack a SG500 with a MS switch. Are you talking about LACP?
I would like to put my pcs in the meraki switch ports and my phones and other items in the S500 stack and have them talk to each other and the internet.
I think that configuring a Trunk port should have to be enough.
I have one, 48 port 225 connected via ethernet to a port on my S500 stack that is enabled for trunking all vlans. The 225 switch port is also allowing all vlans. I can ping the gateway (the s500) ip but nothing past that.
Have you configured the IP on MS switch?
If you just want to get started without reading more in-depth information, follow these basic steps:
For additional switch installation information, please refer to the MS Installation Guides article.
Yes. Both Switches have IP addresses. They have the uplink cables between them for stacking and are connected to a trunk port on the SG500-52P stack.
Is the MS registered on Meraki cloud? Do you have any firewall that could be blocking the communication?
It is registered, claimed and moved to my network. No firewall blocking traffic. Interestingly, I broke the Meraki stack and plugged my pc into one and can now ping the world... until i connect to the meraki cloud.
Alright, so you have two MS225 switches stacked, would that be it? Did you configure the physical stack or virtual stack? Can you be more clear with the information please?
It is a physical stack
I have even tried to just connect the MS to the Cisco SG500 stack and it comes up for a while but then stops working. The light is white and I can see it in the dashboard, just not connectivity.
You are probably forgetting something or doing something incorrectly. The problem is that your information is not enough to think about what could be the problem.
I have an MS switch, I connect my PC to port 1 and my uplink to a Cisco SG500 Switch port that is trunked for all VLANs. I can connect to my switch via switch.meraki.com, it has a static ip address on my 10.10.xx.xx network as does my PC via DHCP. I can ping the default gateway (the SG500), the DHCP Server on 10.10.11.xx, the 8.8.8.8 address. I can browse the internet with my pc connected to port 1. This will last until I change the name, etc. in the dashboard on Meraki.
Have you tried open a support case?
