Cisco Meraki Adaptive Policy - MS switching SGT packets

Need to confirm if Meraki switching HW model MS120 will pass or be able to identify/forward SGT's (Secure Group Tags) via CMD packet header to a tagged network/endpoint or MR44 WAP?

 

Not finding any clarification here:
Adaptive Policy MS Configuration Guide - Cisco Meraki Documentation

 

Thanks!

MS120 is not SGA capable. Only MS130-X and the Catalyst platforms.

Adaptive Policy is also supported on the MS130R platform.

Hi @DustinS 

 

This document only refers to:

Hardware Requirements:
  • MS390 / C9300-M: all models


probably worth a review and update.

To add further to this, you have to be using the super new beta MS17 code to get SGT on MS130X/R.  The release notes state these MS130s are supported

 

  • Adaptive Policy on MS130X/R models

 

On the C9300 you have to have an MS "Advanced" licence.  For MR you have to have an "MR Advanced Licence".

 

I can't find anything about licencing for the MS130X/R to enable adaptive policy, and I can not find any related licences than can be ordered.

 

I have every licence you can think of, an MS130X, and are running the MS17 beta software and I don't get the option to enable SGT on an MS130X.  It works fine on a C9300 in the same network.

 

 

My thoughts - if you want to use SGT stick to the C9300 at this point in time.

Correct. Hardware support for MS130X/R switches is being delivered in MS17, which recently entered Beta.

For a limited period of time, Adaptive Policy is available to trial free of charge via the Meraki Early Access Program. Users can navigate to this page in dashboard and opt-in to "Adaptive policy (AdP)on MS130X and MS130R", thus enabling it to work on MS130X/R switches 

If you opt-in to use AdP on the MS130X/R - you are presented with a disclaimer in Dashboard that states use of this feature will require an advanced license after the limited trial ends. We will communicate the end of the limited trial period well in advance to allow users who desire to use AdP plenty of time to purchase licensing.

Advanced licenses for MS130X/R switches are available to purchase today in both co-term and subscription licenses.

I just tried this - and it worked!

 

And even better, some of the "quirks" I had ran into using Adaptive Policy not longer exist in MS17.  This feature is now working much better.
