I would not recommend relying on a wifi based IOT sensor for fire protection, get a proper hard wired system that is serviced regularly.    Our fire protection system sends me an SMS when a panel is activated and when it's been restored. Had a callout on Wednesday just been and response time from fire service was 11 mins from activation to panel reset.  ... View more

If every user/device has NO limit and you have 350ish clients, that very well could be the problem itself since they are unrestricted/unregulated. Have you tried to set a global bandwidth per user to see if it has any improvement? When you say 350 unique clients...is that counting the 6-7 VPN site to site connections or is that in addition to the 350 unique clients? ... View more

Diolch @ConnorL, the CW9163Es survived!  We had some minor damage and the boiler randomly failed (perhaps due to the power coming on and off a few times)...  Interestingly the Welsh flag came up fine in the notification email!  We are in Ceredigion, about a mile from the coast and our house name is Brynawel, which as you'll know means it was pretty mad 🌬️ ...

I want to bump this old post so I don't have to create a new one. I have been actively fighting this issue in the shadows for the past 18 months and got no where.    I know Meraki states that we can create a second org and apply the devices to that org but I have found the following issues.   MX's / Z require a new site per 2 devices (PIN4). Meraki support is giving mixed answers on this topic. Some state if you claim the device then your equipment is locked other support reps will quote the KB. I also have seen the sales team have mixed messaging on this topic as well. The disabled network email warning could cause a lot of unneeded questions within a company when using the inventory network. For companies that do not use APIs this process causes additional steps with inventory management by having to add or remove devices from one org to another. Installation documentation does not fully disclose the inventory process so there is an opportunity     For Meraki if a percentage of your customer base is unaware of this "requirement" they are left open to having their equipment taken from right under them, then having to go through support or sale to try to recover the equipment. This process hurts the customer from a time and frustration point of view, and Meraki from a customer perception and relation.    I will say other vendors that have similar systems will lock the equipment once the equipment is claimed, yet Meraki finds this solution to be better in some way.. I'm open to seeing that vision if there is a gain for me the customer.   Sorry for the small vent, but just wanted to float this out again.   ... View more

It’d also helpful to track down the devices involved in the conflict, identifying the MAC addresses can give you a clearer idea of what’s going on. As for the DNS setting, switching from "proxy to upstream DNS" probably won’t fix the conflict unless there’s a specific DNS-related issue. It doesn’t hurt to test, but I’d focus more on the DHCP setup and device configurations. ... View more

Just an update:   We do not have or use an MX Firewall.  We are only using the Meraki Switches and Access Points.  We have the VPN category blocked at our Firewall, but just wanted to add an extra layer of security and prevent it in the Firewall and Traffic Shaping if it was an option.   Thank you! ...

This ^^^^^^^   This really is the best solution: Have an emergency SSID which is turned off by default, and have all the devices provisioned with this SSID also   This allows you, in the event of a device falling off the network, to bring up the SSID, allowing the device to (probably after a reboot) to join the network.   But, this is not fixing the issue. You really do need to find out why devices are falling off the network and failing to rejoin   One last, left field, solution, is something called Autonomous Single App ? Kiosk mode: This firstly needs support from the application developer (which is INCREDIBLY simple to build in) and allows you to *tell* the app to go into kiosk mode, rather than the device going into kiosk mode with the app: There's a difference. It allows the app to go into kiosk mode itself. It also, via a hidden menu or whatever, allow the app to come out of kiosk mode. You get all the benefits of Kiosk Mode without having bricked devices ... View more

Hey @cmr - I know this is somewhat old but I'm actually possibly running into this issue myself using OPTION 2 and what I believe are possibly older iPhone devices. It's a hit or miss situation, sometimes they struggle, most of the times clients don't. Again I suspect it's just old iOS devices. What list did you end up putting in? I did a pcap with an old and new iPad but both seem to be showing similar resolutions for DNS queries prior to clicking the accept button to get past the walled garden.   captive.apple.com captive-cidr.origin-apple.com.akadns.net captive-cdn.origin-apple.com.akadns.net captive.g.aaplimg.com ...

Good job swapping the cables/optics. They normally cause a lot of CRC issues, but not outages like you are seeing. As was asked is it just the port or the entire switch? If you know the times maybe run a packet capture before it goes down to see what kind of traffic is coming in. Also if it is just a single port going down try plugging into another port.  ...

Well. After rolling back to 30.7 and my 30 AP's rebooting I have 4 more that are in low power mode. I have a feeling if I apply the static power fixes on my switches they will fall back to 100mbps as the others did. Going to get a ticket in with Meraki today as the AP's are on 3 different switches but showing the same behavior.   ... View more

Ideally you should be managing Apple devices via an MDM, with managed devices you can disable Private MAC.

Ran into this last week and was a bit frustrated by the change. I have one org that's PDL and the subscription management process, with each device being on its own term, is preferable.    Have another customer that's basically "15 businesses in a trenchcoat" who would have benefited greatly from being PDL and had their renewal coming up, so I went to convert them, only to discover that the option no longer existed.    Some of their licenses are less than 6 months old (MR) and they balked at the price of renewing the entire org and the idea that they had to, given that some of the licenses were purchased quite recently. The argument was that they should only have to renew the devices with expiring licenses, which were for specific sub companies, and these could be billed as such (to each sub company), which I really couldn't argue with. I'd have converted them to PDR earlier if I had known it was going away, but apparently I missed this memo, which is my fault.  ... View more

For native MS switches like the MS130 you DO get a power cord if you order from the US but you do NOT get one if you order outside of the US. For Catalyst switches it is not as clear. I found that native Catalyst switches and secondary PSU's in Cisco DNA mode do come with localized power cords but the -M (Meraki managed variants) don't come with them.  But I am based in the EU so I'm not sure for the US. ...
