I'm not an employee of Cisco/Meraki. My posts are based on Meraki best practice and what has worked for me in the field.

seriously.. im still on the wait list for the ECMS2 training.. but i believe im skipping the training all together and head straight to the  500-220 Engineering Cisco Meraki Solutions (ECMS) exam.
