There is this known bug, which I'm not 100% sure if you are hitting:   "In rare instances, DAI inspection may fail to snoop DHCP transactions on stacks leading to those clients being in a blocked state"   It appears resolved in 15.4.   Otherwise the published DHCP bugs are related to the MS390 ...

Interesting idea. Though, for my mobile kits I'm always adjusting stuff as it moves around. I also nix the tunnel before shipping it off to the next location. In this instance, updating the address manually would seem to be the safer router (vs managing a RPi).   Though, I could see this being useful if you shipped a road case around where everything is installed 100% of the time and you never touch the dashboard for each venue. ...

Meraki templates blow other vendors "1 button config" out of the water. Meraki gives you everything you need, where as other vendors expose the API and expect you to write the automation.   Having said that, the templates are living and breathing. That is good and bad. For this reason I created a base line network which serves as a template when I don't want the living/breathing template. I simple copy that base network for new networks which are non-template based, adjust the subnets, and be on my merry way.   Another issue is you can't have templates by device type in a network. I'd love to have a network where I can do the MX or MS manually, but then the wireless in the network is bound to a template.   Like the others mentioned, many love Meraki for the simplicity. It has allowed me to ship gear without ever putting a pre-config on it or going through some convoluted provisioning process. But like they also said, if you need some super advanced feature, insight, or nerd knobs, that is when it starts to fall apart. I find the UI in the dashboard and the warnings to offset some of the things you would miss from a device with CLI.   Oh, and only 2 possible WAN ports is another annoying thing. ... View more

So you configure an access port for a vlan and you get an IP. You then reconfigure said port to the problem vlan and you get no IP?   The 410 is the layer 3 switch and running DHCP? 225 are just layer 2 switches south of it?   ... View more

Not to be pedantic, but I'll rephrase and ask my question @MerakiDave    Org A had a device in inventory but not assigned to a network. Org B decides to claim said serial. The device will leave Org A and now be part of Org B.   Actually, I just tested it and it worked. I "stole" a device from one org and brought it into another. Granted I am an admin for both, but I was not sure if this was a requirement for this to work. It certainly did not require me to unclaim it.   I thought there was a discussion that the only thing which prevents a device being closed  ... View more

Firmware warnings still need some addressing.   I have a warning on my cameras about code that is leaving support.     The 4.13 camera wants me to update to 4.15 beta. Then the 4.15 beta camera wants me to downgrade to 4.13. This is all very confusing. In both cases it says both devices are running current versions!   I also have some devices running old/expired code which I never received a warning for, or an auto upgrade.   Scratching my head here :s     Select 4.15 beta camera:   Select 4.13 camera: Select both cameras:     ...

Like others said, the reported IP and DNS errors can be delayed in updating.   If you are at a site that mac filters, always have them enter the mac (don't forget to provide the offset mac) before booting it. But I try to always ask for an open non-captive portal connection.   And yes, I have seen the WAN interfaces timeout on DHCP.   The best is when the property gives a connection that allows 80/443, but nothing else. That's a real treat to diagnose because the dashboard gives all kinds of weird info. Only after you connect a PC to the port and try something like SSH does it become apparent what the issue is. ...

Wow, this change is surprising. Meraki had a very good site showing off their entire full stack. Easy to navigate and find info.   It looks like this redesign has moved away from that and more to their competitors where it is impossible to find any good info. ... View more

If it's a single MX, switch and AP, what advanced features are you looking for? I have ran DHCP on a MX for a much larger setup with no issues.
