Hi @marvelsferb7 ,   Just to follow up on the great advice from @PhilipDAth , cross reference the AP models with the version of WLC firmware you may go to:   https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html   The last version you can go to is 8.5 anyway so not a massive jump.  Email tac@cisco.com with your request. Include your cco account details and product serial number.   im sure you’re aware but you’ve got a couple more years left in the 2504 before it’s eol    https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/2504-wireless-controller/eos-eol-notice-c51-740645.html ...

@OmarAftab  Hi .. we ordered the MS120-24-HW (no fancy numbers after -24) and got the fanless version .. All the doc's says the "No-Power" version is the fanless ones ..   Only snake in the garden could be that the 48Port needs more power, hence a fan in the powersupply ?   Maybe the Meraki HW Guru's can supply more enligthenment ? ...

First note that the VMX is only available in Amazon AWS and Azure.   If you are needing to terminate more VPN tunnels that a single VMX can handle or want to drive more bandwidth then you can change to using an active/active design and purchase a pair of them.   Aaron Willette has an article about how to do this. https://www.willette.works/active-active-meraki-sd-wan-headends/    ...

Re: Does removing device from network erase device configs?

by JimmyPhelan in Dashboard & Administration
‎04-15-2020 12:51 AM
‎04-15-2020 12:51 AM
I would be almost certain that it doesn't remove the config and this leads to a small bug (feature?) on the dashboard. If you enable something, for example, Client VPN, and you then untick the Client VPN Box, the Config doesnt go away.   This can cause you some very interesting debug/troubleshooting as the information is not present having been hidden by some lovely CSS! 🙂   Watch out for it, and dont take the Dashboard as 100% honest, as the item causing you trouble could be hidden ...

Re: Meraki-PagerDuty-SNOW integration

by Mikanator in Meraki Projects Gallery
‎04-08-2020 06:33 PM
‎04-08-2020 06:33 PM
Hello, Thought i would save someone some frustrations if they are also working on the integration.   Below is the modified transformation code we are using, it is slightly different from the published coded by cisco in the dev portal.   You will see an added custom filed "service" we are injecting into the body object for the "Details". We also "null" out the "shared secret" we are using as a filter for incoming alerts to Pagerduty. On the SNOW side we are using the field to key off from other services to direct what ingest script to run.   some of the documentation says to use the field 'title' but we found this did not work, but kept it in the code in case things change but its commented out.     // Consume Meraki Alert via Webhook var body = PD.inputRequest.body; // Set Alert Severity var severity = "warning"; // critical // error // warning // info // unknown if(body.alertType == "Settings changed") {severity = "info";} if(body.alertType == "Motion detected") {severity = "info";} if(body.alertType == "Network usage alert") {severity = "warning";} if(body.alertType == "APs went down") {severity = "critical";} if(body.alertType == "Uplink status changed" && !body.alertData.uplink) {severity = "critical";} var event_type = "PD.Trigger"; //PD.Trigger - use this event type to trigger a new event //PD.Resolve - use this event type to resolve a triggered incident //PD.Acknowledge - use this event type to acknowledge a triggered incident //if (body.alertType == "APs came up") {event_type="PD.Resolve";} //var title = body.alertType+": "+body.networkName; var description = body.alertType+": "+body.networkName; var service = "Meraki Alert"; //add custom field of service to body object body.service = service; //var custom_details = body+"/:/"+service; // Format payload var cef_event = { event_type: event_type, //title: title, description: description, severity: severity, source_origin: body.networkId, dedup_key: body.alertId, service_group: body.organizationId, event_action: PD.Trigger, details: body } // Check secret and store event const SECRET = "secret123"; if(body.sharedSecret == SECRET){ body.sharedSecret = null PD.emitCEFEvents([cef_event]); } ...

No, it's block what's not wanted only for Content filtering. With URL Fltering you'll have the chance to whitelist specific sites.   It's up to you to decide if this is a good idea or something that's not worth the effort (that it will be if you're trying to implement the policy you're referring to). ...
