I am deploying MR36H access points in a hotel application, and have had some issues arise in regards to the port profile options to run Cisco IP phones. I have tried a few different configurations on the switchport to get the phone to pull an IP within a specific subnet, but it keeps pulling an IP from the dedicated wireless subnet. The only way I could get it to work correctly was to assign a tagged VLAN to the SSID, then place it in the port profile. It pulled the correct IP, however, there are 15 hotel floors, and each floor must have it's own dedicated voice VLAN for 911 purposes. This means I'm unable to create an SSID for each hotel floor, because it is attached to a casino with a large operating base of employees and network infrastructure. This means there are many SSIDs, both hidden and public, which doesn't leave me an option of creating an SSID for each hotel floor. Since I am only able to create a total of 15 SSIDs in the Meraki dashboard, is there any way for me to get the IP phones to pull an IP from a specific subnet other than the native VLAN, while avoiding creating a separate SSID for each floor? If it matters, the switches being used are not Meraki, they are older Cisco PoE+ switches. Other than the hotel, we are equipped with 9300 48p. Also, not to be greedy, but we have so far deployed roughly 50 CW9166I WAPs in our public facing areas, most of them coming online with no issues, but we do have a few that are showing up as repeaters in the dashboard. Is there any insight into this issue? Google showed possible layer 1, but other than that, any suggestions?
