Looking at upgrading our little Datacenter network and servers to 10Gb, currently have 2 Meraki switches in there that are happily running off of 1Gb but Meraki doesn't seem to do any 10Gb switches with anything close to enough 10Gb ports to meet our requirements, unless we look at the MS390 switches, we generally use the 1xx and 2xx series switches round the network. We need at least 8x10Gb and the best option for us seems to be to add a non-Meraki switch, something like a Netgear XS708Ev2 and essentially have 2 networks with the servers prioritising the 10Gb link and then failing over to the 1Gb Meraki switches if the 10Gb link goes down but it's not ideal.

Hi everyone, this is mainly for the MX but also for the MS devices as well but does anyone have any recommended settings for QOS settings for Cisco Webex voice calls please? Currently, the Traffic Shaping Rules under SDWAN and Traffic Shaping is set to 'enable default traffic shaping rules' so SIP (Voice) has a DSCP tag of 46. Under Swtiches and Swtich Settings, the Quality of Service for our voice vlan is set to 'Set DSCP to 46 (EF voice). We have a single 200Mbps that could be running 30 voice calls at once plus backups between sites, etc, and internet traffic, there is no option for a second internet connection to put all the voice calls onto now.

Thank you, i do see that the latest 18.107.5 firmware still has the issue so will hold fire on updating to that version just yet.

HI everyone, got an SDWAN configured across all of our sites running Meraki kit and all running at least 18.107.2, including the site with an issue. We have 2 MX84s, 1 configured as primary and 1 as the hot spare. If we make a change to the DHCP settings on the MX, the connection to the internet stays up but the SDWAN will drop for about 10 seconds every time. Anyone seen this before?

There isn't an option in there that i could see, i did manage to see a link at the bottom though of the page that says to email a particular email address to do it.

One of our networks is on 16.16.8 and our only option for that network is 18.107.2. All of the other networks is on 18.107.2 and there are no options for any updates.

When we update the MX100 at our headoffice from firmware 16.x to 17.x or 18.x, the internet at the site slows right down and a lot of websites will time out the first time you use it and then works fine when you refresh. This is a well documented problem in the forums, a lot of people are stating that the issue is resolved by changing the tracking to the Unique Client Identifier if you have MXs with Meraki level 3 switches underneath them.

We've changed over from the MAC address client tracking to Unique Client Identifier, to look at resolving the issues we're having with the 17.x and 18.x firmware slowing down our internet connection, but when the change was made, we lose the ability to identify which switch port clients are plugged in. Our network is setup as 2x MX100s > 2x MS250s teamed together > MS210s teamed together. Servers are plugged into the MS250s and the clients are plugged into the MS210s. In the clients screen on MAC address client tracking, we can view the switch port a client is plugged into on the MS210s. With the Unique Client Identifier, all the clients state that they're plugged into the aggregated switch ports that connected the MS250s to the MS210.

If i wanted to prioritise traffic between 2 subnets across an SDWAN, what would be place to look at? As an example, if our head office has a range of 10.10.1.0/26 and i wanted to prioritise all traffic from any machines on that range to a subnet at our data centre of 10.20.1.0/26. I know it would presumably be in Security & SD-WAN > SD-WAN & Traffic shaping > then create a new rule under Traffic Shaping Rules.

Are we able to resort to SNORT 2.9 when we upgrade or is this something that Meraki support need to do?

We're having the exact same issue with our main site that has 2x MX100s, 1 being a hot spare. Runs absolutely fine on 16.16.8, upgrading it to any of the 17.x patches or even the latest 18.107.1 patch causes a lot of speed issues and connectivity issues, websites not loading first time round, things getting blocked with no logs informing us that it's getting blocked at all.

Just in addition to the internet issues we're having. Since Monday, we did the upgrades on 2 of our sites which connect via SDWAN to each other over the weekend, we've also had multiple issues with people getting corrupted Excel files and connectivity to external servers and ftp sites has also been affected. Last time we attempted to upgrade to version 17.x a month ago, we had major issues with the VPN so something isn't right with the 17.x updates in regards to our systems. The VPN issue we had was that the client vpn lost it's DNS name, luckily we had another dns name registered with our DNS supplier that worked fine still but still had to get every vpn client moved over.

Turned off all security and left it for 5 minutes, turned on the most important bits again and just giving it a try, will turn on the rest later when we know if there's been any difference. Thank you edit: No difference at all, we're rolling back to 16.16.8 tonight.

Upgraded to 17.10.2 on Friday morning and had people reporting slow and problematic internet since Monday, upgraded to 17.10.4 this morning and people are still reporting the issues. Internet loading slowly on some pages and other pages time out first time and then work fine after a quick refresh. We've got MX100s onsite and use AMP and the Intrusion Detection and Prevention in Prevention mode and Ruleset of Security. We also use url filtering and category blocking as well. Might look at seeing if we can roll back to 16.x tonight if no one else has any ideas?

We've got multiple sites all running MXs and connected via SDWAN. Is it possible to set a NAT rule for one of our sites to an ip address at another site, at the minute i'm getting the below error: There were errors in saving this configuration: Invalid 1:1 NAT: The IP address 10.14.110.15 is not on a configured subnet. The MX100 at site 1 can ping the internal ip address at site 2, but can't get the NAT to work.

As an option, not one we'd take at the moment, but will turning off the Intrusion Detection and Prevention resolve the issue? Anyone tried?

All of our VPN users, using the client VPN, are having the issues in the UK but onsite people connecting through the MX100s are fine.

Wonderful, so deleting the stack, which now only contains the 1 switch that's still plugged in, won't cause any connectivity or configuration issues?

Hi everyone, Hopefully a very quick question. We've got 2 switches working on our network and we need to move the switch to another network, which is no drama. We've removed the switch from the physical stack but is it as simple as deleting the stack on the dashboard, will that remove any of the configuration on the remaining switch?

With step 2, is there anyway to automate making that change across multiple laptops? A powershell or cmd script?
