Hello ,   We have dedicated sw for access points, two ports from access point go to two switch (stack) in power sharing mode.   We get this Ip address when wifi direct(Mircast) is connected via WLAN virtual adaptor irrespective of TV/laptop conncted to our commapny ssid. Laptop IP : 192.168.137.1  TV IP : 192.168.137.247    Scenario 1 : TV and Laptop connected our company SSID or Mobile hotspot When we try Miracast Issue : We see ad hoc issue while connecting   Scenario 2: TV and Laptop not connected to our guest SSID or Mobile hotspot (bit Wifi is enable in TV) When we try Miracast Issue : We see ad hoc issue while connecting       ...

Hello,   802.1X and LACP are not natively compatible because LACP aggregates physical ports into a single logical link. If you require redundancy for an IP phone while avoiding call drops,   consider: Using MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) on the redundant port. Leveraging phones with built-in redundancy to switch internally between active links. Exploring non-802.1X security measures like VLAN ACLs or port security. Ultimately, achieving both 802.1X enforcement and seamless redundancy without call disruption may require trade-offs, as strict 802.1X is not designed for multi-port redundancy scenarios. ...

Hi,   Yes, a Meraki AP port (particularly on models like MR52, MR53, MR53E, MR84, and MR57 with dual Ethernet ports) can function like a 2-port switch, allowing you to connect wired devices directly to the AP and pass their traffic through its Ethernet port, provided you configure a "Port Profile" on the AP to enable this functionality; however, you must disable link aggregation on these models if you want to use the second port for wired clients instead of uplink aggregation.    https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Client_Addressing_and_Bridging/Port_Profileshttps://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Client_Addressing_and_Bridging/Port_Profiles ...

As far as I know ,currently, Meraki's API does not provide specific endpoints to directly create or manage Switch Templates within Network Templates. The Dashboard API is more focused on device and network-level configurations rather than templates.     Template Management: You can create and manage templates via the API using the /organizations/{organizationId}/configTemplates endpoint. Example: Creating a new template or binding a network to a template.   Switch Ports Configuration: The /devices/{serial}/switchPorts endpoint lets you configure ports, but this applies to individual switches in deployed networks rather than templates.           Suggestions and Alternatives Manual Template Setup: Since templates must be set up manually, you can focus on using APIs or Ansible modules to automate device-specific configurations post-deployment. Scripted Automation: For now, use scripts or automation workflows to configure networks/devices systematically after applying templates. Hybrid Approach: Combine manual template creation with automated per-device configuration using Ansible or Python scripts to bridge the gap. Please let me know if it help ... View more

Thank you for your response! The TV can connect via both Wi-Fi and LAN. However, we are using Wi-Fi for Miracast services, so we can consider it connected over Wi-Fi. During Miracast usage, both the laptop and TV are connected via Wi-Fi, though they might be on different SSIDs. The "Deny Local LAN" option is enabled because I want to block the guest SSID from accessing our internal LAN. The setup flow is: AP → Switch → MX. When I project the laptop screen onto the TV, a virtual Wi-Fi Direct adapter is created with an IP range of 192.168.xx. Out of 10 attempts, the same setup works about 7 times, but it operates in an ad hoc manner. ... View more

You can also use API to fetch required info in following ways.   Meraki's API allows you to retrieve client information, including MAC addresses, along with associated data like connection times, usage, and more. You can filter the data based on the timestamp for each device to categorize the MAC addresses by the time or period you're interested in. You can export this data into a CSV file (or directly into an Excel sheet if you prefer) using Python, which can then be used for analysis. ... View more

Please give me me more high level details to help you in better way.    Here is my observation :  You can apply policies based on specific users in Meraki MX without requiring Active Directory (AD) integration by using Meraki's built-in user authentication capabilities, such as Layer 7 traffic shaping and group policies.   Meraki User Authentication: You can set up authentication to identify users on your network. This can be done via: Meraki Authentication (Local Users): You can use Meraki's built-in user database or integrate with a RADIUS server for external authentication. Splash Page: If users connect to a wireless network, they can authenticate via a splash page that requires credentials (even if you don’t use AD or any directory service). Group Policies: Once users are authenticated, you can apply group policies. These allow you to apply network usage rules (such as bandwidth limits, content filtering, etc.) based on specific users or groups. ... View more

Hi SimonReach,   Stacking is not stable with CS9300X. I do face the same issue , this is a bug in the firmware.   Previous discussion with Meraki tac:   Once again, thank you for your patience during these past troubleshooting calls. I am writing this email to provide a summary of the various issues that resulted in instability with the C9300 stacks in this network, the changes made to address these issues, and our recommended next steps. Originally, we observed that ports on the Core stack went into an LACP blocking state when a member of a downstream stack was rebooted. By taking packet captures on the Core stacks, we confirmed that the downstream stacks had stopped sending LACP PDUs following the reboot of their active member, resulting in the Core stack going into an LACP blocking state. Further investigation confirmed that this was due to an internal issue in which a C9300 stack running CS 16.x firmware may not properly reapply its LACP config following the reboot of the active member of the stack. To address this CS 16.x LACP issue, we tested upgrading the Core stack and one downstream stack to Beta firmware version CS 17.1.2.1, as a fix for that issue is included in this firmware. After performing this upgrade and testing failover again, we observed the LACP instability issue did not persist, however, a separate issue occurred that caused the downstream stack to go offline for 10-20 minutes until the downstream stack automatically rebooted. After examining the boot reason, we confirmed that this behavior was caused by a separate internal issue in which a C9300 stack running CS 17.x firmware does not properly failover when a stack member is rebooted. Due to the two issues above, the decision was made to revert the firmware to stable release CS 16.8 and remove LACP configs. Once this was completed and the network was stabilized, we again tested the failover by power cycling the active member of a downstream stack once more. After doing so, the failover time was approximately 4 minutes. Due to the necessary RSTP convergence needed for this failover, along with the expected behavior for C9300 stack failover times, this duration would be considered within normal range. Going forward, we recommend continuing to monitor the network for stability in its current configuration. Once a stable firmware patch is released that includes a fix for both the LACP instability issue in CS 16 and the stack failover instability issue in CS 17, an additional update will be provided on this case. ...
