Awesome 🎉🎉 glad its up and running for you now. Nothing worse than chasing your tail with conflicting information. I don’t have to eat my hat now as well. 😁

You shouldn't need the vlan interfaces on your 2960 especially if these are configured on the MX. I assume VLAN 1 is your management IP so you can leave that in situ: I would shut and delete vlans 2 and 3: conf t no int vlan 2 ! no int vlan 3 What output do you get from a show vlan? Are Vlans 2 and 3 in your vlan db? On the Uplink from the MX to the switch what do you have set as your native vlan? There's no native vlan set on the uplink on gig 1/0/1 so its probably using vlan 1 interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1 description Trunk to MX - all vlans allowed switchport mode trunk spanning-tree portfast

Hi @Chris10 , looks like Philip has covered off the hardware requirements for you. Are you in the UK, if so which Partner will you be reaching out to? If you don’t have one aligned we’d be more than happy to quote this lot for you. regards

Correct, MR36 supersedes the MR33 and likewise the MR46 supersedes the MR42’s

DarrenOC · ‎May 3 2020

Hi @Aamir , have you looked through the data sheets: MR36: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Overview_and_Specifications/MR36_Datasheet MR42: https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_datasheet_MR42.pdf compare APs: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/wireless/mr53e#compare

Probably best that you upload your switch config on here. You won’t need to add ip-helpers. You shouldn’t have any Vlan Interfaces configured on the 2960 except maybe a mgmt ip.

Under Organisation > Firmware Upgrades you should be able to navigate your way to the release notes from there

DarrenOC · ‎May 1 2020

Hi @knewyousir , what firmware are your APs running? Have you looked through the release notes to see if there’s anything noted there?

DarrenOC · ‎May 1 2020

Hi @Pbelanger So, create all your vlan interfaces on the MX. Assign each an IP address and setup DHCP as per your requirements on the MX. The port that connects to the 2960 should be a trunk port with a native vlan. On your 2960 you need to create each vlan required in its VLAN database. conf t >vlan 2 >name xyz ! >vlan 3 > name xzy etc etc The uplink port on the 2960 should also be set as a trunk with the corresponding native vlan. Ill eat my hat if that setup doesn’t work. 😁

Hi @Abhishek7310 , what connectivity do you have at your Head Office\Data Centre? I would consider the MX250 as there isn’t that much of a price jump from the MX100 to the MX250 especially if your Cisco Partner has deal registered this for you. Just my 2 cents

Welcome to the board @Vick_Sweeney You’ll find plenty of friendly people on the board and some great tips along the way

DarrenOC · ‎Apr 29 2020

Congrats cwf. Your last statement rings very true. You do have to give the Meraki magic a bit of time to work its wonders

DarrenOC · ‎Apr 29 2020

Hi @MAzad , Why not take a look at Cisco dcloud - https://dcloud.cisco.com They have all this pre-built and ready for you to demo to your customers.

DarrenOC · ‎Apr 28 2020

Done.

no problem, sorry to bombard you with links: https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_Per-Device_Licensing_Overview https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_Co-Termination_Licensing_Overview I would also reach out to both your Meraki Account Manager and or Meraki support who should be able to calculate what your licence calculations would look like should you move to the per-device license structure.

hi @MakaraMEAS I believe this was discussed here: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/Phase1-and-2-VPN/m-p/84677 Regards

Congrats @PacerX @MeredithW , I promised that if I won I would donate my prizes to @Thygesen . Can I kindly ask that you swap my name for his and ship the prizes directly to him? many thanks

Hi @carlosmathinson , previous debate on here: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/MX-vs-Fortigate/td-p/42724

DarrenOC · ‎Apr 27 2020

Hi @yepper - I think useless is a tad harsh! Especially given the current working environment we find ourselves in. If the developers are aware of the issue and are working on it then what else can you/we do at the moment. One can't promise a fix at the flick of a switch!!!

DarrenOC · ‎Apr 26 2020

@ConnorL , anything to do with this issue noted in firmware 14.50 and also a previous bug in 14.46? We’ve held back upgrading any MX68’s.

DarrenOC · ‎Apr 25 2020

Hi @Grumples , Not seen that one before. Indicates that you’ve inputted something incorrectly but we know that’s not the case. What MX firmware are they running? have you raised this with Meraki support?
