Anyone else seeing MR46 AP's dropping / loosing connection from Dashboard when running 28.6 firmware? We see 20 - 30 devices drop across the country, different networks / geographic locations usually all at the same time. Looks like a back end dashboard issue, but trying to get past "its in engineering" is getting old. I'm looking for other Meraki Customers with similar experiences so we can compare AP version / Firmware versions and get some visibility. The AP's do continue to pass traffic and are online. So not an outage issue, but a PITA is you manage 3,500+ access points. If you reboot the AP's they come back online in dashboard, of course taking the AP out of service in doing so. Or if you wait for a DHCP 1/2 life checking point (24 hour leases, renew at 12 hours) they will check back into Dashboard and go green. Just one of many issues, but posting his in the AP group to see what others are experiencing. If there Meraki Product owners for MR, MS, MX or Dashboard components I'd love to have a conversation.

I would say no, based on the fact that we just rolled all our Z3's back to 15.44. Currently evaluating if we will roll back our MX84's as they seem stable (but see the performance increase).

Were you setting the IP on an AP or an MX. Not seeing the options on the MX WAN port via API to set the options for DHCP / VLAN

FYI, Had to paper clip the device to get it back online 😞 . Rollback not so clean. Have had two units we had to factory reset after rollback so far.

Luckily we have not had the issue hit our MX84's (all in HA). With ~ 237 network locations its going to be an ugly day if that happens! For now we have rolled our Z3's back to 15.44, other than needing to bounce 5 of the 70 devices they seem to be doing ok with the exception of one unit. User we be at that site tonight so we are hoping resetting gear / broadband will resolve the issue. Bet you can't guess what time we rolled back 😉

That is better than a lot of areas where monopoly telco's only have DSL services. (*Cough California!). Retailers will love this if they can get consistent service / prices and an accurate bill each month! The competition will drive the telco's to either update their 1950's copper infrastructure, or go out of business. I see that as a win-win, plus no more Universal Service fee taxes should be needed on your phone bills. 😉

Well while the 16.16.1 got our Z3 units to stop rebooting every 24 hours. We now see a new issue where the units just go into never never land for 1 - 3 hours. Red Blinking light, no local link, just stuck. They do come back, but have not seen a pattern just yet. Seems to be hitting at random times at least once or twice a week. So frequency is less than the 16.16 issue, but impact is much larger to the users. So unless we get an answer soon, we will be rolling back to 15.44 this weekend. For what its worth we are also seeing issues with MR's loosing access to the console, but they appear to keep running. The Z3's just go dark. Does not look like Meraki is having a good month with updates 😞

Just checking systems firmware versions since we had a recent issue were devices (Z3) were not running the firmware shown. The only way to see the issue was via the API, so checking all our devices. Doing so just noticed that none of my MT sensors show a firmware version. All should be running 1.4 (as shown in the console). They are checking in and working, just showing firmware': 'Not running configured version' if you check via API. Of course having it show "what" version its running would be a better, more meaningful piece of information, but curious if anyone else see's this issue. Not sure if its just an API issue with sensors, or if they really did not get the last update. Using the Python v1 to get the info: response = dashboard.devices.getDevice( serial )

After monitoring over the weekend, 16.16.1 appears to have returned our Z3 units to a stable condition. The Christmas tree pattern is gone!

Mine were trying and reverting at least every 24 hours. So might be worth trying to push the 16.16.1. If they check in might get the version update. I'll know after the weekend if it truly fixes the issue. But at least after pushing 16.16.1, the version numbers via the API show correct / updated.

Check your Z3 networks if you updated to 16.16. That "Rare" Z3(C) note on 16.16.1 turned out to be 100% of our Z3 (non cellular) devices. Dashboard looked like a Christmas tree of very rhythmic comm losses for all the devices. No errors in logs other than Ethernet Carrier change. If you pull the device data by API you can see the firmware issue. 'firmware': 'Not running configured version'. Bug fixes Corrected a rare issue that could result in Z3(C) appliances failing a connectivity safety check after upgrading to MX 16 and falling back to their previous version. Should read: Bug fixes Corrected an issue that results in Z3, Z3(C) appliances failing a connectivity safety check after upgrading to MX 16 and falling back to their previous version. Not obvious unless you filter down to just Z3 units on the overview page.

Anyone noticed that getOrganizationApplianceVpnStatuses and getOrganizationApplianceVpnStats do not return data from the active MX in a High-Availability configuration? Both API calls only return data from the Master Unit, whether it is active or not. VpnStatuses shows the serial number of the primary in the Jason results with a 'deviceStatus': 'offline', So the question is, Shouldn't the Org / Network level calls return data from the Active MX during a fail over event vs just showing offline? Python example snippit below: vpnstatuses = dashboard.appliance.getOrganizationApplianceVpnStatuses(organization_id, total_pages='all') vpnstats = dashboard.appliance.getOrganizationApplianceVpnStats(organization_id, total_pages='all', timespan='300') print('\n\n*'.ljust(110,'*')) print('*'.ljust(45,'*') + ' Test Section Stats ' + '*'.ljust(44,'*')) print('*'.ljust(110,'*')) pprint.pprint(vpnstats[arg1]) print('\n\n*'.ljust(110,'*')) print('*'.ljust(45,'*') + ' Test Section Statuses ' + '*'.ljust(44,'*')) print('*'.ljust(110,'*')) pprint.pprint(vpnstatuses[arg1]) print ('vpnstatuses: ' +str(cnt_vpnstatuses))

For the record, many large compliance bound companies require MFA / SSO for access to critical systems as it enables conditional access rules to trigger and adds an external logging function. As great as it is, If the SSO feature is not added to the mobile app, its really not useful to many of us. I will also point out, its 2022. Is there anyone still on the product team at Meraki driving deliverables and updates?

If your have MX's in the branch offices I'd go with the VMX in Azure. Easier to configure / support than the Net-bond, and gives you multiple paths to Azure depending on your broadband configurations. We've run that way for 2 years now and the VMX hasn't had an issue.

Haydn, I would not call that one solved. Unbinding 250 production networks, risking devices loosing any template overrides and configs and / or causing potential outages is not going to work. Support has not come back with an answer. It's also not unique to MT as MV and MG all have the same issues. As I've told the sales guys, if I can't simply add a new device to a network, don't expect me to buy them! This is one they need to prioritize and fix, at least if they want to sell to existing companies .

Templates are 1 - 2 years old and you can't simply add the device to an existing network. We get A "bound combined network may only contain bound networks". And yep, we get the "just unbind your network, add a new environment network and then combine them. But every tech, and support person gets real squeamish when you ask if the switches will lose any settings or MX's will pull new IP address ranges when we recombined them to the templates. Talking about production networks, not lab networks. Everyone goes to test and things get very quite.... So you can see our reluctance to make changes as our initial lab testing did not go well. Meraki - "Simple Networks". Simple Add Device results in error...

Sure, if you use the default settings. But if you use the drop down and change it to carve up /29 from a /22 you can now have 128 networks. Why would there be a limit of 4? No different that when you carve up an MX template to serve up subnets. The MG devices are standalone NAT devices, in our case, in front of an MX WAN port. It's just another Broadband provider we don't really care what IP ranges it uses because its NAT'ed at the MX. So sure if you care up /26 from /24 you only have 4 networks. But if you carve up /29 from /22 you have 128 networks. jodies.de/ipcalc?host=172.31.128.0&mask1=24&mask2=26 Carve up as /29 (only need three IP address, gateway, primary MX, Secondary MX) and you could have 128 networks jodies.de/ipcalc?host=172.31.128.0&mask1=22&mask2=29

Anyone have an update on when we will be able to add MT devices to existing templated networks? Or a proven process to Unbind, create new MT network and Combine them all back that will not impact production deployments? I know its sounds simple, but curious how "Add Device" was missed in testing a new product....

Anyone have a large MG21 deployment? We cannot put them in existing networks because of template issues (noted in another thread). We planned to just create one network with all the MG21E devices so they would be easy to monitor / manage. Except you can only put 4 MG devices in a network. We use them as backup connections in the spare MX so they are not active unless we have a duel primary WAN failures. Since you can carve up the /29 networks to pull from a /22 network Subnets: 128 Hosts: 768 Not sure why they would limit it to 4 devices. Anyone else run into this limitation or have a better working solution? Anyone for the Meraki MG product group on the forum with insights to the limitations?

I've not seen it, but keep getting promised its coming. Its not just an MG issue, ALL new Meraki products MG, MV, MT fail to work with existing templates. The answer, just break your existing production combined networks with Appliances, Switches and Access points, create a new empty network of type M(x) and recombine. Problem is if you pull them from the templates and put them back in you run the risk of losing modified settings / ports or IP ranges on the MX's on production networks!! Anyone on here from the MG product group (or MV, MT) have an update. I'd agree this is not resolved until we have a proven way to migrate existing templates without impact to operations. Should be as easy as "Add Device" regardless of age of template ......
