I've done things a bit differently: At the core we have 2 x Catalyst  WS-C3750X-24S, which is the existing core switch stack, and remains that way for the time being. So the Meraki network is currently sitting off the edge of the Catalyst core, utilising 2 x Ten Gigibit SFP's.   The Catalyst stack and the whole of the Catalyst network is utilising Rapid PVST (Rapid Per VLAN Spanning Tree) and this Catalyst Core Switch Stack has a Bridge Priority of 8192 (architecturally, this bridge priority was intended rather than 0 purely so that it would be possible to slide in a higher bridge priority device if needed, anyway!)   The Meraki's comes into play.. We have 2 x Meraki MS425-32's connected via 10G SFP etherchannel to the Catalyst Stack's TenGigEth ports: MerakiMS425-Switch1 / 32 <> Catalyst Te1/1/2 MerakiMS425-Switch2 / 32 <> Catalyst Te2/1/2 Goes without saying, this link between the Meraki Stack to the Catalyst Stack is Aggregated. The 2 x Meraki425's are stacked via  40GBASE-CR4 cables for redundancy if either of of the aggregated pair breaks.   The Meraki 425 Stack is set to use RSTP with a Bridge Priority of 12288, and all Meraki Edge Switches use the default bridge priority of 32768.   NOW! The important bit: Rapid PVST only passes BDPU's across the default (VLAN 1).  Because Meraki does not support Rapid PVST, we have chosen not to trunk VLAN 1 on the etherchannel connecting the Catalyst and Meraki Stacks. In effect creating two segregated STP networks, but allowing all other VLAN's other than VLAN1 to trunk traffic end-to-end.   The meaning of all this: With this RSTP config, the Meraki 425's are the Root for all Meraki EDGE switches; and, The Catalyst WS-C3750X stack is the Root for all Catalyst EDGE switches.   If by chance/mistake the Meraki Network's STP does converge with the Catalyst Network's STP, I'm hoping the higher bridge priority on the Meraki 425's somehow will instruct them to not take over bridge priority from the upstream Catalyst stack.   This is as close to the ideal scenario I can get to without reconfiguration Rapid PVST on the Catalysts to use something more standard/supported by the Meraki's.   We do have plans to remove the Catalyst Edge Core at some point, but for now it is needed because it is doing some fancy BGP stuff that I haven't got my head around yet. The Catalyst Edge switches have had ALL of their end-devices migrated to the Meraki's. So from a edge distribution point of view, the Catalyst Edge switches are sitting there doing not a lot.    Sheesh, I hope some or all of that makes sense. ... View more

Ah got you. You’re talking about when new features pop in the dashboard or when the dashboard may go offline.  Not something any of my networks or organisations have experienced.   @CarolineS , @MeredithW  - something a Meraki rep can comment on here? ... View more

Re: Client Dashboard displaying OS as 'Other' instead of 'Windows 10'

So it seems, from many reports, that the Client Dashboard 'OS' listing for the time being is 'Other' for the majority of people, and 'Windows' for a select lucky few, albeit not the specific Windows version.   Hoping that one day this gets much better! But for now, because most people don't have luck with it I am going to assume my environment is configured perfectly fine.   Thanks for everyone's responses. Kudos to you all! ... View more

Somewhat related to the OP.  Can anyone tell me if the 'Meraki MA-SFP-10GB-LRM' is compatible when linked to a 'CISCO SFP-10G-LR'.   Note that the CISCO SFP is the LR type and not LRM! These would be connected via 2m OS1 LC-LC Singlemode Duplex LSZH Patch cables, unless informed otherwise 🙂   I'm thinking it should work just fine, but wouldn't mind some reassurance?  The pic below might make it all clearer.       ...
