Yes you could have mix configurations at the switch or only one VLAN on a switch. Example: Switch 1 has VLAN 11 and 70 on it. Switch 2 only has VLAN 10 on it. It would take more hardware but it can be done that way. Most of us networking type don't want to buy more than we have too or are on a tight budget...so you can have all the VLANs access able on a single switch(es) or stack of switches. You can set the VLANs per PORT or have it a trunk port and set the VLAN on the device or or or. Very flexible.  ... View more

I am unsure of the end goal so I can only assume you want certain addresses for certain devices? Using the VLANs doesn't require anything special, you don't have to create polices, and you don't need to over complicate it. In my example you could set VLAN 11 as the default and then anything plugged into the switch would get an address from VLAN 11 DCHP range. Then set VLAN 70 as VoIP and all the phones get those addresses. Then setup your WAPs for VLAN 12. You then configure the printers to VLAN 10 and they will get a DHCP or you can use static in some cases. I just did some basic VLANing, you may have a management VLAN, a Server VLAN and a VPN VLAN, depending on what you need and are doing. Also the IP range doesn't have to be part of the 10.10.0.0/16. You could have:   VLAN 11 = 10.10.10.0/24 VLAN 200 = 192.168.200.0/24   But my thoughts to your question were you wanted to create DHCP groups so to speak.  ... View more

You could use VLANs to narrow your DHCP assignments. Say your network is 10.10.0.0/16. Instead of using the whole network for DHCP.  You could assign VLANs to subnets of the /16 and then set DHCP for those VLANs.    Example: VLAN 10 - 10.10.10.0/24 (Printers) VLAN 11 - 10.10.11.0/24 (Desktops) VLAN 12 - 10.10.12.0/24 (Wireless) VLAN 70 - 10.10.70.0/24 (VoIP)   etc. ...

The MX68 has always been a bit of a tricky firewall. In our cases it does not like DSL connections, but that is another issue. We have had some similar cases where the MX68 would have high latency or not work well on a good ISP connection. Swapping firewall to an MX84 would fix the problem so we knew it was something with the MX68. Sometimes doing full power off for a full minute (making sure all the electronics inside have no stored power in the capacitors) then power on and wait until it is completely back on line and then do a full factory reset. This has fixed this for us. Could not tell you why this works and support was stumped too. Update and let us know if this works for you. ... View more

Has anyone tried this app? How does it work when the ISP is down. I need MX's to reboot after the ISP comes back on line. Does it schedule the reboot on the device and save it locally so it reboots even though there is no internet services? ... View more

@TEAM-ind Note the licensing will not transfer the way you might think so you MUST keep this in mind before changing.   Example: 1 x MX64 2 x MX84 1 x MX85 1 x MS220 10 x MS250 1 MS350   You bought a 3 year license for the MX84 and the MS250s and have 2 years left and yesterday you bought a 5 year license for the MX85 and MS350. However your 3 year license for the MX64 and the MS220 are about to expire and you are ok with that because you are NOT going to re-new or continue using them.   What should happen is they all get their licenses with the time you bought but that is not what will happen. The license will go through an algorithm and be sort of divided up on everything you have.    You will wind up with a lot of time on the MX64 and the MS220 that you don't need.    Be very careful before doing this and mindful of what you need and have on the dashboard before changing.   -DarkStar   ...

Hello Meraki Engineers. This is becoming mission critical. Now that we are using StarLink as an ISP we need our equipment to be on a timer and reboot every Sunday. StarLink makes changes every week and this requires our MX to be rebooted. Currently we have to ask a staff member every Monday morning to pull the power cord to reboot the MX to get them back on line. Desperately please add this feature so we can automate a weekly reboot!!!! ... View more

We are needing this feature more and more, especially with all the work from home. We are in rural areas and many times the ISP is out for a while and when they come back you have to reboot the MX to get the site back on line (or all the way on line) Many times we them to just reboot every night at 1am so the site is on line in the morning.  Since we cannot schedule that I have to call someone to go pull the power cord and wait 15 seconds to get the site on line. Now with remote work I have to call the maintenance person and we have to wait 1 or 2 hours until he gets there to power cycle the MX. Our staff remote work by VPN so the MX has to be up or they are not working. Meraki please please add these features ASAP! ... View more

@PeterJamesI have begged and begged for better licensing and tracking for 3 years. We have a huge problem with it. We bill back to sites, one corporation but all sites make their own money. I have to know what equipment a site has, how long they had it, when it expires, and which license are theirs. We have contractors that help, so things inputted into the dashboard are not tracked to a site, because their "contractor" goal it to get the site up and paid. I keep asking for Meraki to give us the ability to manage the licensing needed in a enterprise environment. So far no luck. I have another thread for a make a wish request that helps with this, doesn't fix it but helps. I have screenshots, of selecting the MX device and have it give you the complete list of what is at the site, MX, MS, MR, etc. Then have the same button in the corner to export it. Take a look at it and see if this would help your situation. ... View more

Updated Screenshot, to better understand the need for this feature.  ... View more

Meraki Engineers: If you can provide something like the created screenshot for each Network that would be great. I believe this will solve many issues we are having as well as our many Meraki colleges. For us this will also help with the licensing issue we have been dealing with for years. The San Francisco upper management was looking for a solution and this could be as close as we get. Thanks  ... View more

We have just been notified by 2 of our rural ISPs that they will no longer be able to provide IPv4 addresses. They are such small ISPs that cannot keep IPv4 address space and will be converting everyone to IPv6 over the next 6 months. (Note these are the only ISPs available) This will not matter to their residential customers who just get a new modem and they work fine. BUT! We have MANY sites with MX devices that are critical to our business and the safety and well being of people in these areas. We do not have the money to replace all these devices with something else, not to mention it will break our VPN mesh. Meraki we need IPv6 support ASAP, we can no longer wait. ... View more

@PhilipDAth Humm, Maybe on your network you don't have many, but we have thousands of devices with web interfaces now-a-days, copy machines, printers, switches, servers, appliances, firewalls, data collection devices, VMs, cameras, TVs, Back Up Systems, Web Server Farm, VoIP System, Data Center KVMs, iLO, iDRAC, PDUs, UPSs, etc. etc. etc. Most can use HTTP and they force HTTPS but nice to have the option of either or. ...

@Welles  Removing the feature if there is no way to fix it I agree. However many times I do not have access to a remote system to do a speed test. I have networks all over the state, so I need the speed test to work from the MX.  OR I could be standing up a new site with no clients and I need to validate the speed to take possession of the circuit.
