Meraki

It will happen when it happens, I would rather Meraki take their time with their WiFi 7 lineup and implement a stable, business-grade product than chase a PR stunt from a competitor that wants to launch pre-standard gear

That is not working the way you think it is working, shaping is applied per-flow, not as a total to the subnets you've included. @MichelRueger fyi that unfortunately what you are asking for is not possible on Meraki at this time.

You cannot force a client to forget the password, your only option is to change the password on the SSID itself.

If you are talking about creating iPSKs for each unit, yes that can be done. If you were talking about automating adding clients to a specific iPSK, that is not possible. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/create-network-wireless-ssid-identity-psk/

I don't have a demo unit next to me at this moment, but looking at the documentation I see uplink | string The WAN uplink used to obtain the requested stats. Valid uplinks are wan1, wan2, wan3, cellular. The default is wan1. I am suspicious that to get the MG stats from this endpoint you may have to specify that the uplink is cellular via this parameter.

Putting the inventory issue aside, as long as your configuration is correct on the switches and APs yes you should be able to use them cross-org with the exception of some potentially dashboard-specific features like Meraki Auth.

Please don't.

This is not correct, I tested it myself on MX18.1 and MR30 firmware and if you have content categories blocked on your MX but with specific URLs allowed in your GPO, those specific URLs are correctly permitted even on a wireless client. The problem is something else.

after you do >>> import meraki what is the output of >>> dir(meraki) and >>> meraki.__version__ ?

I consider myself a big fan of additional monitoring capabilities in the Meraki platform, however I am thus far disappointed in this launch. -Advanced Security, and especially Advanced Security + Insight not getting any ThousandEyes entitlement at all? Insight was already a hard sell because of its lack of value, but then to say go buy your own licenses or upgrade all the way to Secure SD WAN +? You are practically selling competitor products for them at this price point. -"Credits" and a limited number of tests makes no sense in the first place when I am running these tests from my own hardware, if I license my hardware for a feature I should be able to use as much of it as the platform will permit.

"Does anyone have an relevant experience." Yes, and I would heavily recommend against consolidation here.

"The environment is So large that the throttling implemented to restrict the number of call made against the Dashboard, precludes us from making REST calls to get this state information." There is no way this is possible unless you are not being efficient in the way you are calling the API. "Would using WebHooks to track the uplinkStatus help us out here - would the Down / Up state be available ? " If you have Meraki Insight or the SD-WAN+ MX license, yes it would. Here is an example pair of emails I received from Insight for a WAN status change, the webhook data should be similar. " The primary security appliance in the [REDACTED] network failed over to using uplink Internet 2 because the primary link has become unavailable. It will return to using the primary uplink when it becomes available. There has been 1 failover event detected: At 01:21 AM MST on Jan 18, the security appliance switched to using Internet 2 as its uplink. - Cisco Meraki" and then " The primary security appliance in the [REDACTED] network switched to using its primary uplink, configured to be uplink Internet 1, after a period in which the link was unavailable. There has been 1 failover event detected: At 01:24 AM MST on Jan 18, the security appliance switched to using Internet 1 as its uplink. - Cisco Meraki"

"access to the portal" is not necessarily "full access", this is very typical of a standardized MSP setup where you receive restricted access to the Meraki dashboard and the rest is for the MSP and you are expected to open tickets with the MSP for issues you can't resolve yourself, this is part of the service you are paying for. Also Meraki will not give you additional dashboard access, this is entirely between you and your MSP.

Use try/except error handling. In this example, when the first network in the org throws an error in the getNetworkApplianceSecurityIntrusion call, the try/except/break will exit the for device in devices loop, which will then make your code skip to the next organization import meraki import os API = os.environ.get("API_KEY_FF") dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(API, suppress_logging=True) to_write = "" organisations = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations() for organisation in organisations: devices = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationDevices(organisation["id"], total_pages='all') for device in devices: if "MX" in device["model"]: print(organisation["name"] + "," + device["model"]) try: ASI = dashboard.appliance.getNetworkApplianceSecurityIntrusion(device["networkId"]) except Exception as e: print(str(e)) break for MX in ASI: to_write = to_write + f'{organisation["name"]},{device["networkId"]},{device["name"]},{ASI["mode"]}\n' f = open("Get_ASI_MX.csv", "w") f.write(to_write) f.close()

You can use this API call to find out which devices have Sense enabled https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-device-camera-sense/ or if you are forwarding to an MQTT broker, you can look for the serial numbers under the topic /merakimv/{SERIAL} on the broker in the future, I would recommend tagging the devices or networks with something like "mvsense" to make them easier to find.

When you say you want to integrate them, what exactly do you mean? What do the two systems have to do together to achieve? Also, how many intercoms are we talking about and are they indoor or outdoor? How are the intercoms currently monitored (from a central security desk, etc.), and is there an existing NVR solution either built into the intercoms or separate from them?

This appears to be following a versioning scheme called Semantic Versioning

The only thing I will say on this matter is I believe this thread should be deleted in short order and any further perceived issues addressed in DMs if required, a thread like this should not exist on a forum for professionals.

Yes the MR28 has no scanning radio, but the MR28 gets them 95% feature and API coverage for the best cost. Unless you very specifically need to test with those events I don't think it is worth it if your goal is to develop apps...you are better off using the sandbox for that last few %. Here is how other APs scale up to get that last 5% of features by list price (check with the retailer for actual): MR28 - 95% compatibility with API endpoints and features, $500 list price MR36 (gets you a scanning radio, no additional API coverage) $947 list price MR36H (gets you access to port profiles (one or two additional API endpoints but more situational than other access points) $860 list price CW9162 (gets you 6GHz capabilities, exposes some additional settings in RF profiles specific to 6GHz) $1595 list price

Someone else with more SM experience will need to chime in about your more specific questions, but as for getting started here are some important links you should review. The Quick Start Guide is here: https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Systems_Manager_Quick-Start Best Practices for Education is here: https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Deployment_Guides/Education_Deployment_Guide_and_Best_Practices The index of all other documentation for Systems Manager is here: https://documentation.meraki.com/SM

I would be very wary of purchasing second-hand equipment, it could be stolen or have any number of issues, and if the owner has not properly relinquished ownership in the Dashboard you will never be able to use it, period, Meraki will not allow you to. The cheapest access point that is being sold currently is the MR28, I would pick one of those up for your development environment (plus a power brick or PoE injector or PoE switch)

Congrats @vassallon

Unfortunately the answer is no. This is something I have been asking Meraki for for years, and the answer is always "There aren't enough people asking for this functionality. So go into your Dashboard, go to the Give Your Feedback button and request it and if enough people ask for it then perhaps it'll get on the roadmap."

mlefebvre · ‎Jul 24 2023

For the bad requests, when you retry the request does it eventually go through? It sounds like you potentially have organizations on multiple Meraki shards/servers and there is a synchronization process between them that can take upwards of 30 minutes in my experience to reflect properly. I've also found recently that I had to accept the org access on a different shard from the email confirmation, I was unable to do it via the Global Overview.

Assuming your adapters are actually WiFi 6E capable and not just WiFi 6....in my personal experience there is no way to get it working on Windows 10 outside of that outdated driver, Microsoft has explicitly made WiFi 6E dependent on Windows 11. Also, if you deploy only 6GHz on that SSID you may run into problems with devices taking a long time to discover 6GHz or not seeing it at all as 6E relies heavily on Reduced Neighbor Reports for discovery.
