Hi @inrsys_lf , you’re well within the 100m limitation for copper so you’ll be fine. Ensure the cabling is Cat6a.

DarrenOC

Couple of things jump to mind working through the OSI: - Layer 1 - you’ve got a solid physical connection at both ends? Both sides are UP, UP - Layer 2 - I did initially think ARP but you’ve rebooted the MS425 stack so that should have flushed the tables. Is it just OSPF not working here? Can you test with a static route from the core into the firewall?

Hi @Axldo , did you get this resolved? I had something similar a few weeks back which caught me off guard. A new customer had added me as an Admin to their Org which threw out my usual methods of logging in. I resolved the issue by heading down the password recovery process

Agree with @Mloraditch, as the product has been announced EoS you’d be investing in a deprecated solution.

DarrenOC

Great idea @AmyReyes

Take a look at dCloud. Available to all Partners and Cisco end user customers (via your cco) https://dcloud.cisco.com

Hi @JamesBalchin , all switches in a group will be upgraded at the same time - so one big bang.

DarrenOC

Hi @chris-doro - you say at least 200mbps provided by your ISP? As per @ww ‘s comment what do you get direct out to the internet?

DarrenOC

Section 2 of this document shows the staged upgrade process: https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Firmware/MS_Firmware_Upgrades

DarrenOC

Generally they’re done in one big bang but you can configure staged/staggered upgrades

DarrenOC

Assume this is a long standing network and the issues have just started happening? Dont rush into making lots of sporadic changes in the hope of resolving the issue.

DarrenOC

Throughout all this I assume your network devices have remained stable and haven’t lost registration to the Meraki dashboard? These devices are on VLAN 1 or another Management VLAN?

DarrenOC

Is the issue site wide or are you able to isolate to a building and switch stack? On your MX - do you have firewall rules in place here that restrict port 8080 and 443? Is this affecting both wired and wireless users?

DarrenOC

Hi @Mark-SPS, dependant on your needs I’d move all the L3 interfaces up to the MX. That way I can control inter-vlan routing and segment my network accordingly.

DarrenOC

That’s the implicit deny inbound rule. By default, outbound everything is allowed. I would suggest that you configure your outbound rules as required with a final Deny Any Any at the end.

DarrenOC

Have you had TAC review the status of the switches at all? Could be a process that gradually grinds to a halt or the reverse causing a spike which knocks the stack offline.

Syslog, syslog, syslog……

Love that comment @RaphaelL “iam young and looking for the nightlife”. Enjoy and make the most of it.

Remove the Trial eqpt from the Network it resides in. You could also go a step further and delete the eqpt from that Org

Are the issues happening in certain spots or is this a site wide problem? I had one client who literally couldn’t use their devices in a certain area. After running some survey software I found 2 old APs on the network that were broadcasting the same SSID. Once removed…all was well.

Hi @CarolineS - I did look to delete!

Sorry to have been alarmist! Was just me. I was prepping for a number of changes and I couldn’t access the Meraki dashboard. Another customer had added me as an admin to their Org which caused some logging in issues. And at a time I could have done without the aggro.

Anyone else struggling to access their dashboard at the moment? Password not being accepted, password recovery not working or accepting new password!
