Meraki

Hi Vanessa Are you plugging the computer you are accessing the AP from directly into the AP rather than into your whole network. I find setting up new devices its best to keep it nice and simple. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP’s built-in web server by browsing to http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128. Using the above have you correctly set your subnet? I suspect if you can configure the AP by plugging it into your network and obtaining an IP address via DHCP then something isn't quite right with the network settings on the computer you are using to connect to the device. Can you post a screenshot of your ethernet settings. Also Welcome to the forums!

One feature I would like to see on Meraki gear is POE "Power Priority" on regular Cisco gear I normally set our POE phones and access points to High and our CCTV to critical. Meraki as far as I can see (hopefully someone can prove me wrong) only has enable or disable option.

@Deniz what model MS-220 and what model access point are you using. It would be nice to be able to find out the specs for each device to see if I can help you work out whats going on.

I would call support and see what is going on, perhaps your Meraki dashboard login has been compromised. If you don't already I suggets you use 2FA.

Sorry my suggestion was to talk to Meraki support NOT MS support, this is something they might be aware of and my have a work around.

What firmware is the device running? If possible force reboot and see if it comes right? Have you changed anything on the devices config before this started happening?

Hi @Chase by tracking I am asusming you mean location services. If so and its enabled then then only way you could stop this is by disabling location services access to the unmanaged apps but this would mean setting this manually. There is currently no way of automatically forcing what you want sorry.

It does sound like a MS issue, have you contacted support to see if there is a known issue or work around? I find MS built in VPN clients are awful at the best of times, have you tried any 3rd party software. The link below may work for you? https://www.ncp-e.com/en/products/ipsec-vpn-client-suite/vpn-clients-for-windows-10-8-7-macos/

Awesome, that will help settle my OCD. Its something small but VERY useful if you have a large app list having the icon make things just that little bit quicker. Thanks!

The reason behind this is a bit off an odd ball but its a feature available on MR units and other vendors offer this feautre. What is everyones thoughts on be able to enable dark mode on MS units, you can already blink the LED so the feature is possible. What alerted me to the fact is I havea guest staying and they room they are sleeping in happens to have a MS unit (fanless) in there and I though I would disable to LED's before they went to bed.... it turns out you cant but a nice piece of tape over the front solved my problem However it got me thinking should this be a permanent feature?

BlakeRichardson · ‎Mar 6 2018

@LivintheDream Thanks I will be taking your advice, while most of my stuff is in dedicated server / comms rooms knowing the fans are running faster for a longer period than they were designed for this worries me about future fan failures.

Well done guys. Unfortunately I will probably be posting less as things are getting busy for me over the next few months with a complete network redesign, full print system overhaul. I am not going to have much spare time.... If Meraki make sleeping bags one of these could be handy to have under my desk

I've been asked by a user with a supervised iPad if they can have access to the App store to look at apps, I dont have a problem with this I just dont want them installing any apps as these need to be managed. Is this possible. If I allowed the allow installing app's but disable making account changed would this work?

There is no toll free number for New Zealand either...

We have the SM agent installed on all of our laptops. When someone leaves we backup their machine, remove the machine from the Meraki network and reimage it. The image we have contains the SM agent so as soon as the laptop has internet access it registers iteslf with Meraki. My problem is when it re-registers itself Meraki seems to remember all of the details from before it was removed the network. Is this normal? I would expect it to reconnect with the new hostname and NOT have any tags attached to it....

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 27 2018

One of the guys in my team made an application that the users inputs their credentials into and it automatically mounts the specific sharepoint when the need it.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 27 2018

My answer is yes, even if you do it yourself. Guessing it not the best option when it comes to working this out. I am not sure if Meraki have partenerred with any software developers who make this sort of software but that would be an avenue or contact your local Meraki Rep to see if they have any suggestions.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 26 2018

Are you referring to machines with a network login or local login?

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 26 2018

As the title says I just want to say a quick thank you and well done to the Meraki team including those behind the scene that make this happen. Friday afternoon I placed an order for Two MX64's with licensing, I thought awesome they are order but will be a week or two away which is fine as I am in no rush for them. Come to work on Monday and there is an shipping confirmation email that was sent on Saturday evening with the order number. 15 mins later everything is registered in my dashboard and setpu pending the arrival ofth units. 8.30am today (Tuesday) units have arrived and are able to be deployed. So again WELL DONE & THANK You, such a quick turn around and very happy customer!

@PhilipDAth Really there is no way is adding in a prefix or suffix wildcard?? I only ask because I haven't played around with our MX units much because our SonicWall takes care of most things.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 22 2018

As the title says I want to know if its possible to disable certain system app's. I am in the process of configuring a bunch of iPads and I want the below disabled Mail Tips Find Friends Maps Notes Reminders iBooks Contacts Find iPhone Any ideas if I can do this automatically or do I have to manually remove these?

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 22 2018

I came across this last week without realising it and just thought I was going mad. If I am an and area of the "Systems Manager" menu and I want to view the event log under "network-wide" I can't its not there. If I go to any other option i.e. switch, security appliance or Org then its there. Screenshots are below. No Event log Event log

Awesome nice work, glad you got it sorted!

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 21 2018

Are you the only admin? If not I suspect another admin has removed your organisation rights. This would usually be done in the case of your have a junior team member who you want to be able to make network changes but not add or remove admins, manage licensing or inventory.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 21 2018

@PhilipDAth because someone at Dell is friends with someone at the company that develops that software. Just like everything in this world its about knowing people in the right places.
