So, you mentioned 4 MCG clusters are possible per network & one SSID can only go back to one cluster. Then does that mean, we can do SSID1 to cluster1 & SSID2 to cluster2? Sorry for being a pest but we are almost there sir.

FlyingFrames

Thanks but our guest traffic needs to be opened out at DMZ, where MCG will not be in DMZ, so they can terminate employee traffic. Does this mean my guest traffic has to go through the internal network? Since i do not see a way MCG can tunnel to another MCG in DMZ OR the AP cannot create tunnels to MCG on internal network & MCG in DMZ network at the same time?

FlyingFrames

But does that mean we cannot accomplish a usecase like this below on the same AP? On one Meraki AP have Employee SSID tunneled to MCG cluster 1, guest SSID tunneled to MCG cluster 2.

I am also seeing this regarding the upgrade: https://documentation.meraki.com/Wireless/Design_and_Configure/Deployment_Guides/Campus_Gateway_Deployment_Guide#Software_Upgrades "It will be mandatory to keep the CG and AP firmware versions identical. For example, if the CG is updated to MCG31.2.5, the APs will need to run MR31.2.5 as well." "During the firmware upgrade, Dashboard will upgrade the CG first followed by the AP." "During the upgrade, all the Campus Gateways in the cluster will upgrade to the new code version at the same time. Once they are done, all the APs in the network will be upgraded at the same time."

FlyingFrames

So if 4 MCG clusters are possible, can we have different SSID tunnel to different MCGs?

FlyingFrames

Can there be two MCG clusters in one network? We want to tunnel Employee SSID to a different MCG cluster & Guest SSID to another MCG cluster. Is this possible?

"Campus Gateway and AP should be part of the same geo location (RTT<20ms) > Focus at FCS is on Campus deployments" https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/apjc/docs/2025/pdf/BRKEWN-2046.pdf

FlyingFrames

https://rowelldionicio.com/cisco-unveils-meraki-campus-gateway-a-cloud-managed-overlay-for-complex-networks/ It says: " RTT < 20ms Must be in the same geographical area, same cluster"

FlyingFrames

Would it be possible to terminate remote APs for people working from home to an MCG in the data center? Or will the RTT limit of <20ms play spoil sport there?

FlyingFrames

Like in Cisco Catalyst world, does upgrading a Meraki Campus Gateway automagically upgrade its APs as well? Is there any code dependency between the two, like a software compatibility matrix?

Does this page point at any explanation on micro services? I apologize but i don't see any mention of micro services in it.

FlyingFrames

Mist is trying to sell us the microservices story & i can not believe that Meraki cloud is not microservices based. However, i did not find any proof of Meraki cloud being microservices based! Best i could find was a field day mention of Meraki trying to move to microservices cloud in 2022 but nothing else! Here is the field day video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODV1u4UqFoA

Catalyst switches managed by Catalyst Center do support Thousand Eyes agent running on it. Can we have thousand eyes running on those switches managed by Meraki with configuration source as set to cloud? Will Meraki dashboard help?

https://community.meraki.com/t5/Feature-Announcements/New-Agentic-Skills-Now-Available-for-the-Cisco-AI-Assistant/ba-p/285375 AI Assistant is not in beta now. But what are the licensing requirements of it? Do i need advanced on all devices in the org?

Thanks for the kind reponse. @alemabrahao @RWelch What will be the correct license for it? LIC-MS-100-S? Since an 8 port 9200 is not shown in this table: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/Subscription_-_MS_Licensing

Can i configure C9200CX-8UXG-2X using meraki cloud completely? If yes what IOS XE version will i need? I am trying to see if in the light of this development on IOS-XE 17.18.1, this should work! https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Cloud_Management_with_IOS_XE/Cloud-Management_IOS_XE_Overview Essentially i am looking for meraki dashboard configurable (not cloud CLI) fanless compact switch that can give 60W PoE. And C9200CX-8UXG-2X is the only answer i could find. Just confirming if this is possible!

We are trying to see if Meraki AP has two partitions for firmware images. Two partitions help in surviving a failed upgrade. Do Meraki APs have two partitions, one to store the current image as the backup & the other to store the new one being upgraded to?

Can Meraki Access Manager configure MACsec on switch to wired endpoint links like Cisco ISE can e.g.

FlyingFrames · ‎May 19 2025

So Meraki switches do not support thousand eyes. e.g. MS220. However the catalyst switches finding support in Meraki dashboard do suppoart Thousand Eyes plugin. Is it possible to visualize Thousand Eyes running on Catalyst switches in the Meraki dashboard?

FlyingFrames · ‎May 16 2025

We do not want to configure SGTs in two places i.e. Meraki dashboard & ISE. Is there a sync feature available? Also if a client with an SGT does an anomalous behavior e.g. passing traffic to a geographical region not expected, how do we contain it using SGTs?

Does Meraki Access Manager have a PSK onboarding portal for end users, so they can create PSK themselves? Something like this: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/mist/mist-access/topics/task/client-onboarding-psk-portals.html

How many PoPs does Cisco Secure Access have? What are their locations & which clouds are they deployed?

Does CW9800M provide ability to configure itself in Meraki or is it monitoring only? Is Catalyst 9800-40 also monitorable in Meraki? I am trying to decipher the difference between Catalyst 9800-40 & CW9800M in terms of Meraki manageability!

Thanks. Just tried, this trick worked. Created a read only user and the API key created from it is only doing read only operations.

FlyingFrames · ‎Oct 17 2024

Is there such a thing as providing read only access to APIs? I guess if an API key can be set to read only, then it should be able to perform only GET operations. Is this possible with Meraki? We are trying to give an app access to perform only GET operations!
