Hello All,
on my original post above we were trying to use an MR76, but since its unable to use port profile we are now going to use an indoor AP a CW9166 which selectable on the port profile settings. however I have been encountering an issue where it seems the port profile config is not being honored by the AP.
Current setup in the CW9166 in the LAB:
Test wired devices > IE2000 POE Switch > CW9116 AP >> wireless bridge to the Meraki Mesh >> wired network and network gateways.
Issue is, even with the port profile assigned to the AP, the wired clients attached to the CW9116 cant reach the network, cant even ping the wireless clients connected to the same CW9116 AP. but wireless client connected to the SSID on the same CW9116 can reach the network.
Connectivity is only available when i set on Dashboard > Network Wide > Clients Wired Directly to AP > "from no access" to "Behave like they are connected to "Turnstile"" which is the same SSID configured on the port profile as seen on the screenshot below.
We would like to keep the default behavior of the entire network to DO NOT connect wired connections, but we would want to allow only to the APs we set the port profile.
On the related link above it was suggested to spin up a new network and assign 2 AP on the new network and configure network wide behavior which is a possible solution for someone else, since we cant move the AP that would be the gateway for the repeater since that would mean all the possible clients that gateway AP would have been servicing would now be on the new network and all the SSID and authentication configured from the original network wont be available.
