No, but couldn't you create a single email account and have all the phones use the same one? You could also create a distribution group and just add aliases to it if you want separate logins. There is no requirement that it actually be separate email accounts. ... View more

I can't point to anything specific public and I'm not even sure there is a slide I can't share that explicitly states it, but this was brought up in the various discussions I was in about last months announcements and is not supported. It's roadmapped to possibly be able to do cli and cloud configs, but it doesn't exist yet. The cloud cli is supposed to be limited in what it allows you to do. More for the ability to gather data for your own support work. ... View more

I could swear this was not previously possible and am wondering if Meraki updated something.  I've now tested and done this successfully and the shutdown is not even required. I end up with a traffic blip so small I see it on my live uplink graph. So TYVM for trying and figuring it out as I had a much longer plan in place to redeploy over 100 vMXs. ... View more

The cable test didn't report any errors? If so if you dismount a problem AP and plug it directly into the switch do you still have the same error? If so you've narrowed it down to a bad AP or a bad switch port and you will need support to RMA one of these items probably. If not you have a cabling issue that that test isn't picking up and will need to repair or replace the drop most likely ... View more

Cloud Monitoring is not being phased out, they've changed the marketing name multiple times and it's hard to keep up, but essentially it's now called Hybrid Mode: https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Cloud-Native_IOS_XE/Hybrid_Operating_Mode_for_Cloud-Managed_Catalyst_Switches_FAQs ... View more

The dashboard does not expose the configuration of this feature at this time and I've not seen it in any of the material about the upcoming 17.18 release. If you need this feature and want to use the dashboard you need to stick to cloud monitored mode and configure with the CLI. You can make a feature request for it to be added: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Other_Topics/Give_your_feedback_(previously_Make_a_Wish) ... View more

Here is how to setup client VPN: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Client_VPN/Client_VPN_Overview Do alcatel phones support doing a VPN directly from the phone?

So in that case your options are pretty much call support or reboot. Support may make you reboot regardless, but may be able to have you pull local support info that can determine the cause to at least file a bug or tell you the bug is resolved in a later version if you are on older code. ...

It's going to depend on how exactly the server responds when it's broken. You can read about how radius testing works here:  https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Alert_-_Recent_802.1X_Failure And some detail on MR failover https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Encryption_and_Authentication/RADIUS_Failover_and_Retry_Details The server would need to not respond at all for failover to occur as I've seen and understand it. ...

https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Creating_a_Layer_7_Firewall_Rule See note: Firewall rules, of any type, apply only to traffic which traverses through the firewall device. This means that firewall rules do not apply to traffic originating from (such as LDAP binds) or terminating at (such as client VPN) the firewall device.  Additionally, MX VLAN interfaces and the MX WAN IP addresses, themselves, are not considered in Allow or Deny rules. You can't block inbound client vpn connections with Layer 7 rules. You can enable Inbound Layer 3 firewall with this EA feature: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Networks_and_Routing/NAT_Exceptions-No_NAT_on_MX_Security_Appliances However that still only adds Layer 3 rules. ...
