While Claiming MR-42 AP in my current Network getting error NBAR error

[Mohit_Dhanjal]

Hi Team,

I have Mr-46 AP connected in my current network, while Claiming different model(Mr-42) in same Network, I am getting error "Can not add MR42 device to a network running NBAR.

Solution that i have checked if i want to add this AP in Current network, i need to disable Network Analysis.

Can i create New Network for same Site, and Broadcast same SSID in this new Network, Will it works.

Kindly Suggest.

Regards

Do you use nbar? You could also disable Network Analysis. Then add the AP. Then enable network analysis.  It will then use the "older" meraki categories

NBAR is enabled automatically. 

After disable Network Analysis, if i add the same, do i face any issue like Configuration issue and traffic analysis issue.

Hi @Mohit_Dhanjal : Just disable and try !

Tried, Same is working.

But my Customer want to Create n new Network for incompatible access point in same Client Site.

If i create new network and claim these AP in new network with same SSID and configuration and with Same PSK, will it work or create an issue.

That could work for ssids using bridge mode. But maybe auto rf settings wont be ideal and you need to make sure to not use rogue AP blocking/ or whitelist them

I suspect the firmware on the MR46 is too old.  Create a new temporary network, add the MR46, make sure the firmware is updated to at least "stable", and then try moving it to the original network.
