MS port getting high responses, how to auto shutdown the port?

[KawsuSillah45]

We had an issue a few days ago with our Cisco Meraki setup. The internet shutdowns when the Meraki MX received a high request of 1000ms. After removing doing the normal troubleshooting, remove all cables and start with MX. I later realized that one of the devices connected to the switch was causing the issue. The device was sending about 1000ms of packet requests and that crashed the router. 

Does anyone have an idea about a setting that can prevent that or how to prevent that from happening again?

You might need to get creative and it might be achievable.

You can build a script that looks at all client's latency, when a client's latency exceeds a certain value, you can then shut its port down, there might be limitations, such as if the client is on WiFi, you might not want to shut the port down because you would effectively shut down the entire Access Point, but this is why I mentioned being creative.

Here are some APIs to get you started:

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api/#!get-network-client-latency-stats
https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/?dtid=osoblg000513#!update-device-switch-port

Do let us know if you eventually get around to crafting a script to achieve your goal, it would be very interesting to look at it.

Cheers.
