Meraki

Nice idea but why not just create an image and re image using something like deploy studio or even Carbon copy cloner?

The devices IP's are manually set in the Meraki dashboard not obtained by a DHCP server in any shape or form.

Thank you!

Thanks, I've double checked emails and the only emails I received were to say a case was opened and then closed as soon as item was shipped. The next email I received was the order details to I could claim the hardware. I will contact support. thanks

So one of the MS225-48FP that I manage has been identified as having the fan fault. I have received the replacement BUT I have no paperwork or any information about how or were to return the faulty unit to.... I am guessing this isn't standard practise and Meraki would like the old unit back????

I like @PhilipDAth's post about default wireless security. It highlights a serious problem that really needs to be fixed. Link to thread

I have never been asked to fill out a captcha when logging a case. Possibly its a new feature they are implementing and haven't got it quite right yet. I have been able to update an open case of mine without any issues Are you able to call support for the time being, may also pay to let them know.

Done, I have a good home for a Gnome I will name Jerome!

@DCooper We currently use a Sonicwall Appliance with AD authentication, it has a status page which allows me to terminate the users login session. When I reviewed Palo Alto I'm pretty sure it had the same feature.

NVR vs local storage is a great conversation. Both have their pros and cons. As @Uberseehandel has mentioned that information in that article explains exactly where you data is stored and how its accessed. At the end of the day remember that traffic and Data is not stored in Meraki Cloud only configuration and log information.

You have to remember that Meraki are late to the party when it comes to CCTV. Axis and Hikvision as well as everyone else has year of experience already under their belt. Features like facial recognition and license plate recognition and the likes will be rolled out slowly I would imagine.

Glad you got it worked out and thanks for sharing the solution, hopefully that will help someone else in the future. As for no error message thats odd but that could be Appe's fault by not generating a response that Meraki is able to pickup.

Policy changes are only applied when a session is being established. They don't get applied during an existing session. I don't think there is any way to clear an AD authenticated person. I guess I am not going with Meraki for gateways then, We rely on AD and not being able to terminate a users session is nuts, every other vendor I've worked with over the years can do this. @PhilipDAth by "session" I am assuming you mean the session between client and website i.e web session not the user session. If so restarting the client and waiting 5 mins should break this session however changes still don't work. Thanks for your help

@PhilipDAth Network traffic is flowing fine but when I ping the switches management interface I get no response.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 11 2018

I am playing around with a MX unit as a potential replacement for a Sonicwall 9200. AD authentication is currently used and I would like to stay with that. I am finding the splash page coming up for new users is hit and miss but also when making changes to policies they don't seem to take affect if the person is already logged in, I am trying to block and unblock Facebook using multiple policies one of which is on a schedule however it doesn't work. Even blocking and unblocking a simple site doesn't work. Long story short I would like to kill the users login session but cannot find any way of doing this without rebooting the MX appliance. Is this possible?

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 11 2018

Hmm, ok just some more information switch IP's are all statically assigned and even if they weren't the gateway isn't running a DHCP server. Switches are on firmware 9.32 I do have to unplug the backup unit and swap back over to our primary hardware this afternoon so if I remember I might make a screen cast not that it will be of much use.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 11 2018

The MS unit are all on a pretty flat L2 network. @PhilipDAth yes the problem is related to the internet, our gateway had an issue this morning, I pulled the plug to reboot it and our monitoring software (PRTG and Intermapper) both complained that the units were offline even though the Cisco SB series we have were all still online. L2 traffic still seems to flow. Everything is communicating via VLAN 1 so there is no L3 routing involved. Its a pretty simple network at the moment. @MilesMeraki Its not a LAN issue as only affecting the MS switches which includes is MS-425/32 which is our core switch.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 11 2018

I've had a few internet issues at the office this morning and every time the internet has gone offline and the MS units lose connection to the cloud they stop responding to PING's. The switches IP's are all statically set so it makes no sense why this should happen. Any ideas?

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 8 2018

Agreed, we live in an age where network security requirements are increasing every day yet this "default" seems silly if I'm honest. I would rather no default SSID. Also if you were doing a full rebuild of a wireless deployment you would possible want to be able to delete every SSID so you can start from scratch. This should be simple to implement so @meraki_ team how do we push to make this happen, a security flaw like this shouldn't require as all having to make a wish.

I've had a look but i cannot find any settings for this so thought I would ask. Is it possible to disable user accounts from using screen lock on a device running Mac OS. I want to avoid users using a shared device and putting the machine to sleep without logging out which stop the next person from using the device as they cannot unlock it. It requires the user to power down the device which I would rather avoid.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 7 2018

As @PhilipDAth mentioned the management port is for the initial setup of a device and is there as a fail safe in case you do something silly and cannot access your device using its normal ports.

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 6 2018

Awesome glad its resolved!

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 6 2018

Correct me if I am wrong but the process is simply exporting the request out of Meraki by downloading a file and then importing that into Apples system without any copying and pasting?? If thats the case I would contact support and open a case, its been a long time since I did this but I don't recall it being difficult. Try this site, it my give you some info and you might be able to find where you are going wrong. https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Device_Enrollment/Apple_MDM_Push_Certificate

Actually if its a licensing issue are you app's setup like the below screenshot and have you set your devices to be supervised?

BlakeRichardson · ‎Feb 6 2018

Are you getting an error message when the sync fails?
