Actually come to think of it. I do have some more information. we have been installing the CW9176I at the same customer, same switch, same switch software. And the first 15 sites no problems, but then it started. So Im betting that we had open a new box (they come in boxes of 5) of CW9176 that might have been a little bit different. - Just a thought. The first AP where we had the same problem, we tried a lot of things, and after 30 - 40 mins, it actually just came online, without us having done any changes to configuration or just troubleshooting, like unplugging the AP, packetcaptures, cable tests, cycling the port and so on. - But the second AP from that "carton" we never got online, and we also tried the 3rd AP, also never got online (this was another site, this customer has many small offices, so almost only one AP pr site, but same model of switch and software). - We created a case, and support told us RMA, as mentioned, but I was curious, so I took those two APs back to the lab got it online, and now it works fine on the customers site. ...

I was in a "panic" because the neighbour advertised the default route. But you are right, the networks needs to be specific. But it still installed the default route when I had a 10.100.0.0/16 filter 😕 - With all the benefits of it being a higher priority for all spokes in autovpn ...  thats where the panic came from 🙂 So something is definitely going on there. ...

For fun I have now played around with the "Microsoft Entra ID Integration with Splash Page" https://documentation.meraki.com/Wireless/Design_and_Configure/Configuration_Guides/Encryption_and_Authentication/Microsoft_Entra_ID_Integration_with_Splash_page   - I know, not really Access-manager related, but still, people might want to know.

Hi BillyLee Can you provide a bit more information (I dont know if you have any) 🙂 Because Im currently seeing some strange mDNS issues that "smells" a little like your described problem. For me its two clients on the same SSID / same VLAN , bridging-mode, no firewall on the AP, and so on (so nothing should block). But the client cant discover the "casting" device. When looking at packet captures on the wire, we see all the mDNS packets, and if we, for fun, connect these two clients to another AP (fx. some dumb homerouter, or phone-hotspot) it works instantly. So it seems to me that the AP might be "filtering" some mDNS packets on the wireless side (I have not been able to do a wireless packet-capture to verify).   Thanks Thomas ... View more

Just found this post. We actually run LRM modules on some MS130X, but we get a lot of CRC errors across different switches, while others are "just fine". I expect I have some faulty modules rather then the module not being supported on the MS130X. It sees the module fine, and you get link on the port, but for some reason, on 50% of links, we get a lot of CRC errors.   PS: So we have tried to change fibercables, from OM3 to 4 and even tried singlemode cables (all switches are still "back to back"), and we still see CRC errors on ports. We even tried to switch around SFPs from ports that did not really had any errors, and we get errors again on that same module in the new switch. So its not the modules, it would seem. In a "twist of fate" we tried forcing the ports to 1Gbit , and ... supprise, no more CRC errors, this is very strange to me. My guess is right now that the switch does not "like" LRM modules, and somthing(tm) happens. ... View more

Within the same "topic" would it be possible to always have a specific application (or internal subnet) exit through for example WAN2, and if WAN2 is not available (not link down, but just not working) then NOT to switch all the traffic over to WAN1. This is an actual scenario that I have at a customer, where WAN2 is used for guests, and they do NOT want this traffic to use WAN1, also in case of WAN2 failure. Do anyone know of a solution here ? (regardless of license, it does not matter) ... View more

Did not work 😕   The error does not make any sense, we are not using IPv6, and we have even tried to disable all IPv6 on the switch. We can easily telnet to fx eu.tlsgw.meraki.com and we get the right IPv4 address resolved.   So my conclusion is that I guess this does not work for a switch that does not have a static 0.0.0.0 route in its configuration 😞 (the 0.0.0.0 route is learned via OSPF).   Meraki Device Registration ------------------------------------ url: https://catalyst.meraki.com/nodes/register Device Number: 2 PID: C9300-24T Serial Number: abcdefghij Cloud ID: N/A Mac Address: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Status: Failed Error: IPv6 DNS resolution failed for catalyst.meraki.com.

Woohoo !    https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Wi-Fi_Basics_and_Best_Practices/Roaming_Technologies   Mandatory DHCP + Fast roaming (802.11r) This feature enhances client mobility by enabling support for Fast Roaming on SSIDs where Mandatory DHCP is enforced. Starting with firmware version MR 32.1.X, DHCP state information is now shared across APs, allowing seamless client transitions between APs without reinitiating DHCP requests. Prior to MR32, client roaming to a new AP was required to send new DHCP request before traffic would be allowed. Even if the client had successfully obtained a DHCP lease from the previous AP, the new AP would block traffic until it saw another DHCP exchange.     RFC compliant ! ... View more
