Besides unclaiming an unused access point, is there a way to mark one as offline?
Solved! Go to solution.
So we brought an access point online for testing, but now the ap will be offline for the next few weeks - so our dashboard shows red.
When I say "marking as offline", I mean telling the dashboard to not expect healthchecks from this device.
That's correct, it'll remain red (offline) up to the point where it becomes gray (dormant) but the simplest way is to remove it from the network so the AP will just be sitting in Organization > Inventory until you need it again.
Be careful as if you leave it in the inventory but not in a network, it can be claimed by someone else. Best option if you don't like the option of waiting for a week is to create a spare network to park unused Meraki hardware in, access points or other.
