My biggest challenge is trying to catch the next big thing without triggering false positives and making my life and other's more difficult by over managing the network

Unfortunately I'll need to hand draw these. The architect said they should look like some sort of triangle for network equipment for example. Not had much luck tracking it down unfortunately. the VSS file didn't load so I couldn't see the symbols

One of my locations is being remodeled and they asked that I add the location and placement of network, television, and overhead paging equipment to the plans. Is there a standard for the symbols used for such things? I've not had much luck outside of the standard network mapping symbols which isn't what would be used on the drawings

That worked, I knew Windows had broken VPN, but was under the impression it was corrected. I wish we would just spring for a client instead of relying on Windows because it never seems to work right. I'll do some more testing, but it looks good so far, thanks.

Has anyone ran into an issue with the VPN not working on Windows 10? I can get it to work on Windows 7, iOS, and Android without any issue but Windows 10 just spins on the Connecting when you try to connect. It's not hitting the Meraki and is a issue with Windows itself and not the VPN itself. We use the Windows VPN client and up until recently it's worked fine until we updated our existing equipment along with the OS. Up until three weeks ago it was working with Windows 10 and then it flatlined

@Phelzier I don't know what changed, but it started working for my users one evening and they haven't had an issue since.

My thoughts exactly, but I was told it wasn't necessary. It would also require a trip down to our warehouse and I wanted to double check before doing so. It's being replaced with Cable internet shortly anyhow.

We did not, those devices don't hold a config to save their life and I don't have remote access either. This is the first time setting up up for Frontier DSL so there has also never been a need to do anything special in the matter

I'm trying to setup the client VPN at a remote location of ours. I'm using the same config I have at a different location, but I do not even see it showing a connection was attempted on the event logs for security appliance. The only difference I have at this point is the ISP we use. Normally out Cable Modems are bridged to the MX, but in this care it's a DSL modem in NAT mode. We've had some issues in the past with these modems rebooting back into NAT mode once they restarted so we just stopped fighting against them as Frontier DSL is always going down and we have a device that auto reboots them as they never resync when the issue is corrected. Any thoughts on the issue?

I need to get a MX67C compatible antenna I can use to place is a different location that the MX itself. I ordered a Antenna which seems like it'll work, but the cable I got is a SMA Male which will not work. The cable will screw onto the MX, but the MX while looking like it's properly threaded also has a copper core making it incompatible. Does anyone have a recommendation for a extension cable and antenna? The antenna will likely work, but never hurts to ask for a second opinion. Also the MX has 2 antenna's, do I need to have two antenna? After I received the I started thinking that maybe they handle separate frequencies and I'll need something for both of them.

Not all modems are supported, but under uplink in the MX Security & SD WAN Appliance Settings there should be an option under WAN 1 and WAN 2 if you have it to enable Cellular. In my experience I've sometimes had to reboot the MX to get it to take changes to it's WAN settings so you may need to do that in order to get it to recognize. I've not used the USB stick to be honest.

I find myself being rather ignorant about First Net, I started to look into it, but figured it would be quicker to ask someone to enlighten me as to why this is an issue. Outside of alerts on the public band what data would I need to access upon it in a fail over situation?

@vassallon I do not believe that to be the issue. It was only an issue with the iPhones they reported to me. Android phones, laptops, and even tablets seem to be unaffected. This is why I suspected it would be tied to the iOS firmware that was pushed a month ago. They did another push for the iPhone 8 plus, but that wasn't the version they were showing on the phones. More so the logs did not show Meraki initiating the disconnection the best I can tell. It only listed connection and disconnect, nothing leaving me to believe it was the actual Wi-Fi. Meraki asked I use a mac book and do a pcap on site, but I don't have time to drive 2 hours for a guest as-is network even if they are staff. On top of that the company has no Macbooks unless you could the I.T. Directors personal Macbook Pro. Hopefully it'll stay working, because I don't have anything that way for over a month.

@vassallon The Guest Wi-Fi is open with the exception of a click through screen resetting every 24 hrs. They tell me late yesterday and today it's been good after 10 days of being kicked for sitting idle. This location has no cell reception so they were gathering pitchforks and torches to come pay me a visit until it it suddenly started working.

I have a facility where the iOS users are being kicked off the guest network when their phone is idle for to long. The models I know of are the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, both are running iOS 12.3.1 which released about a month ago. The issue has been going on for about 10 days. Guest has a click through splash screen, and that doesn't show revoked. The logs just show the phone connect and later disconnect without any other logs. They say the devices work on other Wi-Fi networks just fine. I have 20 so faculties, and this is the only one experiencing the problems. We use MR33's with a MR220 and MX60 at half of these location in the same config. All Firmware is up to date, and I power cycled the AP's just in case. When I went to do a packet capture it would start off OK, but fail before it was complete. Normally it would say network error, I'm assuming this was because the phone dropped on, but I never got a log to view. Has anyone has something similar happen to them?

I have a new avatar!, it's also making me correct highlighted error's that don't exist!

Factory reset it, that fixed the problem on the one we had that took a surge from a lightning strike several years back. Rebooting it didn't do the trick for us, so maybe that'll solve the issue. Don't forget that ports do go bad from time to time either. I wouldn't beat my head against the wall once you get through the common issues before calling Meraki. To test I'd take the cable out of 16 and move it to 14 which is empty and see what you get. If it's the same I'd take something and put it on the other end of the cable to see if it's the device on the other end. I've never tried disabling the port and leaving PoE on, but make sure it's enabled in the switch in case PoE works even when the port is disabled.

That port is supplying power, but not data. I see this when we have bad pairs or a defective port on the connected device from time to time with some of our older equipment when it goes bad. It may be an error and you can try cycling the port or running a line test to check the cable. I've had one switch take a power surge and the ports were not reading correctly. I did a factory reset and let it download the config again and it was back to it's old self.

Think of each VLAN as a separate physical network, each network is separated unless you make a connection between those networks with a cable. That is the basics of a VLAN, instead of separate physical networks each one is divided logically from one another in the same physical network. As long as you don't tie them together on the MX then they will never see one another. If you want them to have access to other VLAN's you can think of it as taking another cable and running it to the other network and gaining access to the resources made available via that connection. This would be done using various rules customized in the MX restricting or allowing varying amounts of access and restrictions.

As much as I hate to say it, a lot of the benefits will not apply to my current workplace. We don't service many people and even if we did the traffic exits to the internet meaning the AP's will carry far more than our data pipe. I'm hoping the new 2.4Ghz will help clean up the spectrum and limit interference and saturation as that's something I currently see. 802.11ax Opportunistic Wireless Encryption does seem promising though.

It's an upcoming remodel, they were talking about digging a trench for the Emergency Generators power cables and running the telecom through a separate pipe, but next to one another. I don't know the specs on the generator, but it's a commercial size for a 3 story building.

When running 120v and Cat6 how much space should you place between them? I've seen somewhere it should be the distance of the studs in a standard stick build house. What about higher voltage lines would be a good minimum distance, for example an emergency generator designed for a medium sized multi story business.
