Ah ok so that is confirmed then. Changing RSTP will disable STP on port.   When I read RSTP, I think oh ok, its going to turn off RSTP but the slow STP will still be enabled. I guess that was my confusion. ... View more

This thread might be old, but I've been told that if you turn off RSTP on the port, that the switch will no longer send BPDU frames out that port. Is that what you meant @jdsilva from your comment above about turning off STP? Or are you talking about a switch-wide, or network-wide option that I'm not aware of? ... View more

Re: MR84 with Omnis mounted to an outdoor wall - problem?

‎05-20-2021 08:40 AM
‎05-20-2021 08:40 AM
Mounting any outdoor AP on a wall, with omni (rubber duckies) is perfectly fine, and I would imagine the most often deployed solution.   Not sure what you mean by 'seeing lower radio power'.  The AP doesn't change his TX power based off clients. AutoRF does it based off other nearby APs, and your RF Profile threshold configs.  You could always set it manually, which is what I recommend in almost all scenarios. ... View more

Hey guys,   Not sure if this is a new issue or known   If I have hundreds of AutoVPN sites, and I need to find a client but I don't know what network he's on, I only know the IP of the client, what is the best method to locate the network he's on?   It's been a while since I've had to do this, and in the past I thought (I could be remembering this wrong) that if I put the client IP in the search bar at the very top, it would search all my networks. Tried it now, even using my laptop's IP, even already on the correct/same network, and it found nothing.   If this happens in the future, the best option I can think of is to pull up the Route Table and search for the subnet there.   Thoughts? ...

Re: 27.6 - PSK Issues?

My scanner random disconnect issues started at several warehouses the moment 27.6 was pushed.   So after not being able to be onsite at the several warehouse locations, and trying to work with onsite to get a packet capture (unsuccessful), I ended up rolling back from 27.6 to 25.13 at one site and 26.8.1 at the other.    Several days have passed, and magically no more issues.   >.<   This is a real bummer, as I was really hoping to make 27.6 the new stable code.  And not being able to get a valid packet capture means Meraki support won't be able to do anything about it, so I have to basically avoid 27.X train for as long as I can at this point.    Hopefully someone else will run into the issue and also be physically onsite to be able to capture the issue first-hand so they can get a fix. ...

The other thing you can do, is when the laptop is connected to your Meraki AP, access this URL which is the local status page for the AP your client is connected to at the time. Gives you some info there as well.   http://my.meraki.com/ ... View more

Unfortunately, trying to troubleshoot this issue is very difficult when I'm not physically at the location.   I've actually upgraded several warehouse sites to 27.6, they all use Zebra scanners, and every single one of them has been having non-stop issues with connectivity on the scanners every since upgrading, so I'm rolling back to 25.13 (been running for over a year on this code no issues)   I don't care what the firmware version is, I only care that it's stable. ...

What firmware version were you running before you downgraded to 25.11?   There are a ton of variables with a setup like this and it's difficult to pinpoint the exact issue. Its very possible that the AutoRF is not running optimal channels, so you could have AP's near enough that are on the same frequency, which means that you really only have a single cell instead of two cells. MR32's don't support RX-SOP unfortunately, so that's a shame.  If you can, try setting up a static power and channel plan on a portion of the building or wherever your getting complaints. Also I'm assuming the SSID the teachers are using is 5GHz only? ... View more

Yeah its a tough situation to tshoot.   I shipped a Macbook to the site to use that as a capture tool.   AP is right above the client and it will be connected but then just 'disconnect' and can't connect for X minutes. There are other AP's also nearby that provide good secondary coverage as well. So there are plenty of chances to reconnect, but also no reason to lose connection to begin with.   One thing I see in Wireless Health is authentication failures, but this has pretty much always been an issue and i know 27.6 was supposed to have fixed the false positives for that reporting, not sure if thats true or not.  ...

27.6 - PSK Issues?

‎03-08-2021 10:40 AM
Recently upgraded two warehouses from 25.13 and 26.8.1, to 27.6  (MR33 for one, MR42 for the other). The 25.13 has been running there for a looooong time, no issues.  26.8.1 is a newer site so 25.13 was never an option during installation. Ever since the upgrade at both sites, Zebra scanners have been having connection issues on their wireless SSID (WPA2/PSK).    Been trying to troubleshoot the issue but of course its difficult to do this remote. Scanner just 'loses' connection and won't connect back for anywhere from 1 to 4 minutes. Very odd, because wireless is available, plenty of coverage for the AP right above it and clients are on that same AP.   Curious if anyone else has ran into issues with 27.6 like this. Starting to contemplate rolling back the update. ... View more

Not much else to go on here, your AP does not have Internet access. Could be a million things that have nothing to do with the Meraki AP.   You could try connecting to the same switch yourself on that port and see if you have Internet access and go from there.  ... View more

Re: WIFI calling when roaming

Are you testing between just two specific APs?   I wouldn't let the power go over 17dBm personally, but again this comes down to the design that was done. You'll run into power mismatch issues with power levels being too high (client can hear AP well, but AP can't hear client well scenario).   Looks like your using the older version of the radio settings page, I would personally use the new version if I were you. You'll want to turn client balancing OFF as well, that prevents clients from joining an AP if the AP things it already has too many which = bad for voice. ... View more

Just to confirm are you using an iPhone to test with? For the sake of testing, I would try with 802.11r disabled and see if it makes any difference, or fully on.   Your on the right path, using a 'test SSID' will allow you to figure out where the trouble areas are on your own.    I'm going to assume the port configurations for each AP are correct, and all on the same L2 network. So assuming that, what I would do is have this new SSID only broadcast on AP's with tags, and then pick two AP's near each other and just walk back and forth and confirm if roaming is having an issue or not.   I would tune your power levels, or at least see where Meraki is having them land on. You want it to be around 11 - 17dBm range, so if you have AP's at 5dBm or 30dBm then that's not good. This allows for proper TX power matching between clients and APs (again this also comes down to the RF design).   Another thing to consider (not sure what country your in) is if your using DFS channels (UNII-2 and UNII-2e), which has impact on roaming. Clients are not allowed to actively scan and probe on DFS, they can only listen for beacons, so its takes longer for them to discover if there is an AP on a DFS channel for it to roam to, which means a delay in the roaming etc. 802.11k is supposed to help with this but its not perfect, so its something to consider.   If all configurations are good, and your still having issues, its going to come down to the RF design which is a physical thing and these forums won't really be able to assist you with other than recommend you have an outside source perform a survey and come up with better AP locations.   Have a look at this guide here (although I recommend ignoring the SSID bandwidth limiting they suggest): https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Cisco_Meraki_Best_Practice_Design/Best_Practice_Design_-_MR_Wireless/Wireless_VoIP_QoS_Best_Practices   This link here is about Cisco WLCs, but they go over some RF design stuff that is worth a review: https://mrncciew.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/brkewn-2000-voice-over-wifi-best-practices.pdf   ...
