That's interesting. I'd honestly never heard of WoL over WiFi. First of all, it's something that Meraki AP's do not support. A bit of looking around seems to indicate that Intel wifi chips are the only clients that support it and it has very limited vendor support in terms of networks themselves.

There's no way to switch off client balancing for specific clients. If you don't want to disable it for all clients, you could spin up a different SSID specifically for the AirTame devices and disable client balancing on that one while leaving it enabled on the student's SSID.

You're correct that you would want to use a VPN instead of exposing RDP to the internet. Your high-level process would be: 1. Authenticate and connect to the on-premise environment over VPN 2. RDP to your Windows 11 computer You can use either the Meraki L2TP Client VPN, or use Cisco Anyconnect (additional licensing is technically required).

I'm not aware of it being a roadmapped feature. You're best running this by your Meraki sales rep/account manager. These kind of things typically get added if either there's a large enough user base pushing for the feature, or you have a big enough deal on the table to justify the internal development costs of implementing it. Finally, I'm not 100% sure but possibly this is something that Cisco umbrella can deliver.

As a side note, some people have reported getting higher than the maximum on newer firmware with all security features turned off. Definitely not a validated and expected behaviour though. https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/MX68CW-Maximum-WAN-troughput/m-p/187457#M43900

As per the datasheet, 600mbps is the maximum throughput of the mx67. There's no way to increase it. https://meraki.cisco.com/product-collateral/mx-family-datasheet/

Congratulations too the winners. Loved seeing all of the before and after shots.

API would definitely be the way to go. There is also the switching overview page that can be enabled in early access. It shows the number of active ports with errors across all switches in a given network.

It's not possible with Meraki networking. You would need a client side software that can prevent users from opening/installing web browsers other than edge. Eg. Meraki systems manager, windows app locker, other EDR/MDM solutions...

Are the Aruba switches running the standard MSTP or is it a vendor specific implementation? If it's as per the standard I wouldn't expect constant elections unless the links between the switches keeps changing state. You could try increasing or lowering your switch priorities.

Definitely sounds like your port channel either isn't configured properly, or isn't applying properly.

It looks like you have 2 potential loops there. One would be between the switches and MX's (The MX's will pass bpdu's through. They don't participate in STP themselves). The other would be between the three ms225's (unless two of them are stacked). Spanning tree should bring one of the ports down but still not an ideal design.

It sounds like you have 2 accounts. One is linked to your companies SSO which is not an organization administrator. The other is a regular account which is an organization administrator.

Had some fun gutting and cable tracing this comms cab that hadn't been touched in years. Made some 'interesting' discoveries with old phone lines and pairs being split off. Not the best job in the world (cables were a bit too long and we're waiting on the Meraki kit to arrive) but at least the door closes now!

Seconding this. Mixed spanning tree modes can get real messy very quickly. Converting to MST would be the way to go - just do your research and plan it out.

Just to add to this, you can also transfer licenses between orgs without requiring Meraki support. https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/How_to_do_a_License_Transfer_in_Cotermination

Are you an organisation admin? I believe only organisation admins have the privilege to assign tags to networks.

It shouldn't be an MTU issue if you're simply doing a telnet session. It sounds more likely that a firewall rule in the site-to-site firewall settings would be blocking it. Either that, or you have a routing problem. Can you perform a capture on the server to see if it receives any packets from the source when you initiate the telnet?

Meraki Cloud Authentication doesn't seem like it's the best option for your use case. You could leave the guest wifi open , or If you need to secure it, you could simply use WPA2-PSK.

There's nothing exactly like that natively in the Meraki dashboard. The closest is something like the organisation summary page or the alerts page (early access). But they are much more high level than you would get with a typical network monitoring solution. Some 3rd party solutions (I think PRTG, Solarwinds etc.) do support pulling from the Meraki API to populate data and so you could probably populate a NOC page with that. Otherwise you could custom make one using the API to pull data.

Could be worth testing a driver update or rollback on those clients.

There is no option for authenticating a PSK on the splash page itself. You can use PSK for authentication and show a splash page afterwards. If you want to authenticate on the splash page, you need to use either sponsored guest login or "sign on with..." and selecting an authentication provider.

As said above, 25-30 is a good rule of thumb but you can certainly have more clients connected for more casual usage. The more you know about the client device specs and how the use cases of the end users, the better you can estimate. There used to be a good video from Aerohive on YouTube that did a full breakdown of how to calculate it all out. If I can ever find it again I'll post it up here.

For 8 lan ports you'll need and MX68/W/CW or 75 For migrating to a different model, you can follow the below doc https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Other_Topics/MX_Cold_Swap_Replacing_an_Existing_MX_with_a_Different_MX

Is there anything in common with those 3 sites? Do they share the same interest connection? Do they all use the same template in the dashboard? Did the AP's in those networks get a firmware upgrade?
