Meraki

There's a couple ways you can get data from the API. The first is using curl, like the examples in the documentation. curl is a commandline utility for interacting with URLs. It's commonly found on most *nix systems. Postman is another popular choice for people, though I personally don't use it. https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/897512/meraki-dashboard-api/2To9xm#e411649f-8ae2-47e0-af61-576ff367fafc And then, of course, you can write a program using your favourite scripting or programming language to interact with the API. Everything you need for that is outlined in the documentation (though if you're not already fluent with a language this will be the most compilcated method for you).

To add to that, no you cannot use the onboard GbE LAN ports for WAN. The WAN/Internet ports are fixed to the two SPF+ ports specified.

Thanks for doing all the Gnome hunts @CarolineS! It was fun to have some extra curricular activities for a couple days to lighten things up close to the holidays 🙂

That was fast...

It's a binary file. You cannot read it without knowing how to decode it 😞

@CarolineS I actually went the wrong direction again at first. But that road didn't go very far, so I reread the post and got on the right track. After the last one @Adoos found I figured out what you were doing 😉

🙂

jdsilva · ‎Dec 17 2018

I found the gnome!!!

jdsilva · ‎Dec 17 2018

@Adoos I think you got it! Nicely done. @CarolineS that's not in the product and tech discussion... 😞

jdsilva · ‎Dec 17 2018

OK, I give up. Where ever you hid him @CarolineS you outsmarted me.

jdsilva · ‎Dec 17 2018

Woohoo progress! It could be something as stupid as the format of the MAC being sent. xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx instead of xxxx.xxxx.xxxx for example. I'm not familiar with that RADIUS error so that's just speculation.

jdsilva · ‎Dec 17 2018

What do the Event Logs in the Dashboard say? What do the RADIUS logs say?

jdsilva · ‎Dec 17 2018

What do you have the access policy type set to? It will need to be either MAB or Hybrid.

Congrats @mmistretta and @vicapelli! Nice work!

^^ Phil just called us models @CarolineS. I feel so pretty!

jdsilva · ‎Dec 13 2018

It's unlimited on the Meraki side for this. You'd have to go to a RADIUS server to control simultaneous logins. Most RADIUS servers have this functionality.

Hey @LuisPi. Nope, sorry, this isn't possible on the MX.

jdsilva · ‎Dec 12 2018

Nope, no trick. You can't do this. First time connection to the cloud needs to be via wired.

I thought you could enforce GP in Chrome? I'm sure you can...

jdsilva · ‎Dec 12 2018

There isn't much in the dashboard for Internet flows. There is a graph under Security > Appliance status that kinda shows this: I can't think of anything else 😞

jdsilva · ‎Dec 12 2018

It is possible. But as @NolanHerring's post implies, you have some work ahead of you. The framework is in the dashboard to do this, but you're either going to have to build your own application to do all the actual work, or find a third party who does this and procure their services.

Hi @mklein, That's no different than @MacuserJim's suggestion, just using the API instead of the dashboard. It's simple network cloning.

jdsilva · ‎Dec 11 2018

I'm not sure there's an "easy" way here. I'd suggest that you connect up the MX to the cloud, and then run the Mgmt interface of the MS to the MX so you have a stable control plane to work with here. And then as you say, just migrate the L3 interfaces one at a time. Moving DHCP is going to be a pain. I would suggest ahead of time you shorten the lease time on the MS down to something really short (1 hour? 30 minutes?) and let all your clients get the new short leases. This will ensure the clients re-dhcp to the MX within a reasonable period.
