As a point of note 12.32 seems to have a bug where using combined power issues an event each minute abut the PoE budget 🙄  Reverted to redundant power and no more events after one correct entry per switch.     ... View more

@CptnCrnch I saw that as well a few days ago, though the dashboard alert seems better for me today, it is showing on the networks where there is a future scheduled upgrade, but not on those already upgraded.   I think it would be nice if there was a dashboard release notes section, similar to the firmware notes, so we know what we are seeing is to be expected and not a bug. ...

You can have an AP where you are using the MX at the site as a concentrator, so you end up on the LAN ... View more

If you have an AP you can add it to the sites network, or use the client VPN.  Are neither of these possible for you? ... View more

@ww yes, on Cisco IOS switches (3850s, 9300s etc.) the power above what is required to run the switch without factoring in PoE is pooled and shared to all PoE devices, even to other stack members.  ... View more

@EJN I'd agree with @Bruce about the lower overhead of management for wireless and firewalling, basic switch management is also easier but when you get to complex tasks it isn't such a differentiato   We use Meraki across our multiple UK sites that have 5-25 APs and 3-15 switches each, with no site based IT support.  However we currently use Ruckus wireless and HP switches for a single large site in SA that has a local IT presence.   To be honest out of the two I'd actually go for Meraki switches in that site first as their wired setup is quite simple (though extensive) and Meraki supports all inter-switch cabling being fibre that is a requirement at our SA site due to the prevalence of lightening strikes.  Normally I'd recommend changing the wireless first, but out of Meraki's competitors, I like Ruckus the most... ...

@RIGeek are you using Microsoft's teaming or the NIC vendor's software.   We are totally VMware now but used to use Broadcom NICs and their BASP software always worked well for teaming.   For those who don't know, NIC teaming in Windows was first done by Madge Networks back in the mid 1990s and the code was bought by Microsoft.  It's about all that is left of the $1Bn company that was Madge Networks! ...

@martin-netx I'd think you'll be correct.  I imagine some of the smaller older devices (MX64/65 etc.) will not be able to go to MX16 at all or perhaps only in a limited way. ... View more

@martin-netx I see from that link that the next beta for wireless, switching and firewalling are all going to be FIPS compliant.   We're running 27.x on MRs, 14.x on MSs* and 15.x on MXs so if the rest of you all follow, as @PhilipDAth said, we'll have FIPS compliance all the sooner.   *Not on an L3 stack of 3x MS210s as it is sorely unstable on that configuration as of 14.10.' ...

@Nathan3 make sure your wireless is in bridge mode and not Meraki DHCP as the latter mode doesn't allow devices to see each other ... View more

We connect switch A to MX A and to MX B, we also connect switch B in the same stack to both MX A and MX B.   STP takes care of the multipathing and you will have one connection from each MX forwarding and one blocking at the switch end.   Works well in this case where both MXs are connected to a stack. ...
