@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.

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

@jdsilva wrote: Nope that gives you all devices. I need them per network with more information. Maybe I should help clarify. I have 120 Networks in 1 Origination and more in other Originations, having something like the screenshot and then being able to export all the devices would help with inventory, licensing renewals, and providing something to a site quickly. Thanks for your help.

I would like a Network Overview page showing all the devices in the network and their status. Would be very helpful to be able to download the list, with all information, for inventory purposes. Thank you. See Created Screen Shot.

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.

@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.

I would like to make a request to have the IP address in the client list be a hot link to open that IP in your web browser. Many times I find the device in the client list and then have to copy and paste the IP to a new tab. It would be extremely nice if the IP was a hot link and would allow you to click on it and open the device by the IP address. Thanks!

@Dave I completely agree, a 2 minute change and/or say a simple reboot afterhours is painful. Meraki please give us full scheduling reboots and timer rebooting of the equipment. Thank you. -DS

@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. Thanks -DS

@BradBThat sound backwards. The CMNO operator is the end-user the one with the most knowledge and the partner gets the CMNA administrator/associate ???? Should have CMP for the partners and CMNA for the end-users/operators/admins and CMNP for the professionals.

I would like the ability to enter a speed test web site and Meraki allow you to test using their site. The Meraki Speed test is inaccurate 99% of the time. -DS

@MRCUR I was going to suggest DHCP as the work around for the MGT IP. I have used that and it makes stacking much faster and easier. Just not how I learned it on 3750s or 3850s. -DS

@Chris Great information on how to improve failed coverage. I really don't like the idea of manual settings. With a very small IT staff this defeats the purpose of buying Meraki with the set it and forget it sales pitch. Then there is the change log nightmare.

My wish is a complete schedule/timer for all the Meraki equipment (reboot/factory reset/revert to last settings). The ability to schedule reboots or factory reset or revert to last settings, any time, any day, any year, or to set reboots on a unlimited timer. Use seconds, minutes, days, week, months. i.e reboot in 30 seconds or i.e reboot in 30 days or reboot in 1 month. Needs to be very flexible. Reboot every Sunday at 2 am. Reboot every Month at 3am, Reboot every 6 months, or Reboot every Year. Must be able to used all options in conjunction. Example: Reboot in 120 Seconds, Factory Reset in 15 Minutes, Revert to Last Settings, 20 Minutes. This way you can make changes that could affect the network in an adverse way and if you lost access to the device it would Factory Reset in 15 minutes getting you back on line or if that did not work the Meraki would revert to last Settings in 20 minutes, getting you back on line. Must have the ability to cancel any of them at any time, if the reboot works you would then cancel the factory reset and the revert to last settings. Thank -DS

Same issues with the MS350-48LP. Using stacking cables that came with them or ordered other stacking cables. It seems like the Meraki Dashboard does not reflect what is happening at the physical switches. Many times the switches will report ok white LEDs, but the dashboard displays issues. Or the Meraki physical switches display angry orange LEDs and the dashboard is all green. WUWT?
