Yes.  When I had them getting DHCP from the MX, I was able to have a phone pick up DHCP.   So the IP phones are getting an IP address via DHCP but aren’t picking up any of the scope options.   Yes, DHCP from the Meraki, though no options were handed out.   Did you remove the L3 interface off the 3850 whilst testing?   Yes, had the L3 interface removed from the 3850.   Factory reset of the ip phone?  Maybe try clearing the ARP cache on the 3850 also? Factory reset may be a good call.  This was about a month ago so I cannot recall if I did or not.   Time offset - option 2 was forcing an integer and NTP is forcing an IP address or maybe a hostname will work.  Not working on this at the moment but will review later when the opportunity arises.     ...

Still struggling with this. Cloning the existing network seems to work ok, but after adding the new MX105 & 3 unconfigured switches to the new, cloned, network, the 3 new switches go dormant or offline. I'm assuming this happens because the config on the MX105 has changed and the IPs it was assigning the switches are no longer in the right DHCP scope the MX105 inherited from the clone. The newly cloned MX105 also won't give out IPs in the cloned scope to the switches or even a laptop plugged directly into a LAN port on the MX105. Not sure what's going on here.   Also weird: removing the MX105 from a network and trying to do a factory reset doesn't work. It retains the static IPs one would assign in the local config page. And I can only get to the local config page by hard coding my laptop NIC to 192.168.0.x ... View more

Pinging towards wireless clients usually is not that stable. If  you can see the PHY rate on the clients please do check. Then check on the Meraki side what the SNR of the client is (if you go to an AP status page you can see each connected client and his upstream signal strength which is the SNR).  If it is above 30 dB your connection is excellent.  Then you still need to check the airtime utilization on the channels of the AP on the same page.  Also check which channel the clients are connected on.  If your 2.4 GHz radio is busy and your client happens to be connected on 2.4 then that is normal. Having 150 Mbps speed on a wireless client is excellent throughput if you have multiple clients in that area.  If your application requires low latency and/or low jitter then you will need to check airtimes, QoS tagging on your wireless frames (by doing an OTA capture). ...

If your internet circuit is a regular internet circuit then you can only prioritize outgoing traffic from your calls.  So on the traffic shaping page you can create a rule that matches your VoIP traffic and set the outgoing DSCP to EF.  Also do not forget to set the actual contracted down and upload speed of your circuit all the way on the top of the traffic shaping page. However incoming traffic will arrive via your ISP in the order it was sent. So options: - have the phone lines come directly into your network and use dedicated WAN circuits. - have a separate SIP trunk that does not mix with your internet traffic. - apply bandwidth per client limits and set other traffic types to lower priority. ...

As CMR suggests, if it's your email, simply change the associated password and check out availability of any 2FA tools.   I would recommend SAML too - in fact;  user-specific accounts more generally.   How would a problematic change be attributable to one admin, if you needed to follow disiplinary (even criminal) processes, if there's no specific accountability? ...

One trick I've found, to at least discourage employee use of the Guest SSID:   make (true) Guests actually authenticate to access.   Then require them to re-auth regularly.  Because they'll probably only do it once or maybe twice for a brief visit, it's not too much of an inconvenience to them.   But for employees who are there very regularly, it will become a pain and they will most certainly use a different, more appropriate, more friction-free approach if you provide them with one.   Something like Trusted Access or maybe iPSK, for examples. ...

I would still push the support engineer to escalate internally. This is too big of an issue to just leave it alone. I'm also curious what the technical reason would be since those switches still are regular C9300L's. As an engineer for an MSP I'm always looking for detailed information. I also recently had to ask the question about cross compatibility between BXD SFP's and C9300-M and regular MS switches.  Luckily I got an answer there before committing to a buy.

As others have indicated, many are now using the API to poll for uplink usage data:   such as https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-network-appliance-uplinks-usage-history/ A lot will depend on what you want to do with the data & how you want to present it, as to the tools used - from a python script writing to a csv maybe - up to an ecosystem partner application. Note the data provided gives raw traffic levels.  To put it in context, you'll need to compare to available bandwidth - which you probably have to provide for yourself   (also - configure it for best performance:   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/update-network-appliance-traffic-shaping-uplink-bandwidth/ )   The same raw data though is available via SNMP:  https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Monitoring_and_Reporting/SNMP_Overview_and_Configuration For busy environments, you are probably better polling individual MXs directly, even though polling solely the Dashboard is simpler to set up ...
