UPDATE Upgraded 30 MS 225 switches last night and 2 of the switches had the issue. I power cycled the port and this not resolved the issue. Both switches were upgraded at the same time so running the same firmware. Now, came back this morning and did the same power cycled the ports and now connected. This is the connection status of the 2 switches port 49 As you can see the timeframe when the links were not connected

We have a plethora of MS 225 switches and I am upgrading to the 14.3.3.1 firmware. I did a single switch last night and noticed the SFP link to another MS225 (that was not upgraded) was disconnected. I had to cycle the port to reestablish a connection Is this due to different firmware on the switches, and have others noticed this issue.

I would perform a packet capture on the AP Also on the RADIUS server, have you checked the logs We had a similair issue with our Cisco ISE server where as same issue as yourself in the end a reboot of the ISE box resolved the issue

There is an API call to reboot a device, be it a switch or AP You pass the device serial number to the API call I can write some sample code to illustrate, would also inclue a post reboot check to confirm AP has come up be it PING to AP or another API call

Anyone recommend a good software for heat mapping and AP placement Also, we currently have MR56, would it be benficable to upgrade to MR57 if we decide to deploy new AP's

These will be on different VLANs then, therefore on the SSID configuration you can state the VLAN you want that SSID to connect to and thus IP allocation be done based on your VLAN configuration one SSID DHCP second SSID static IP based on the VLAN subnet

I have seen this before where as on the dashboard AP are showing as offline but no issues with internet connectivity Check on your firewall to make sure the Meraki portal addresses are not being blocked. https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Other_Topics/Upstream_Firewall_Rules_for_Cloud_Connectivity

when you say 2 seperate networks, these will be 2 subnets each with a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses, I assume you will be using a VLAN for each of the networks if so, when you create your SSID, assign the VLAN to the SSID.

yes a single DHCP server is allocating IP addresses to 2 SSID's - both SSID are on the same VLAN They are not seperate networks, both on same subnet but different SSID used for different authentication method

we have done a similair set where on a guest wireless we have 2 SSID's (guest wifi has a dedicated VLAN to seperate from corportate LAN) one uses the Meraki splash screen for authentication and the other SSID has a passphrase to connect Both are on the same DHCP scope but isolated with no peer to peer communciation.

An API call can be used to generate this information I have written a application using the API calls to get client connected to SSID, this data is written to a back end SQL database and then Power BI reports to display results. The reports are live so can go back in time to get a snapshot of how clients connected to a given network on a given AP and SSID

I know I can create a static route on a MS350, but as far as I am aware this is a global setting so effects all devices I want to add a static route for a specific device on the network I know I can do this on the device (which is Windows 10) via the route add command But was wondering if possible on the switch itself.

I use this API call to get usage for each AP https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/<network ID>/wireless/dataRateHistory?deviceSerial=<AP Serial Number>?timespan=3600&resolution=3600 This give me results for the last 10 minutes Once I collect the info, I parse it and write it to a back end database and use Power BI to display the results

you can connect locally to the switch via the management port on the back https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Tools_and_Troubleshooting/Using_the_Cisco_Meraki_Device_Local_Status_Page I would do that to see what the issue with your switch is.

I need to upgrade 2 x MS350 and 2 x MS225 switches Plan to upgrade the MS350 first then the MS225 Reading this I can do a staged upgrade of switches https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Other_Topics/Staged_Firmware_Upgrades_for_Meraki_MS_Switches However I do not get the option to create a custom policy as stated above Under Upgrade policy, select Specify custom schedule. All I see is this

to answer your original question, it is not possible to "force" a client to move to another AP, only "dirty" way is to switch off the AP so the client has to connect to your desired AP

I assume you mean roaming, this is based on the client, For Windows laptops you can set roaming settings for the wireless adapter As an exmaple below for Intel wireless adapters https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005546/wireless/legacy-intel-wireless-products.html
