Hi everyone, This morning I was trying to view the MX Template port mapping document since it is unique per model: https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Cisco_Meraki_Best_Practice_Design/Best_Practice_Design_-_MX_Security_and_SD-WAN/MX_Templates_Best_Practices#Templates_with_MXs_of_Different_Port_Counts I noticed that the image I need to see, and also any other image on any documentation article is not loading. I tried with Chrome, Edge, incognito on both as well. Anyone else having this issue or is this a me only problem?

I'm using tags to control which AP broadcast's which SSID across all my sites and just noticed (also across all sites old/new/various firmware) that all my SSID's are showing the grayed out status (meaning not broadcasting due to missing tag), however they are still working. Seems cosmetic, so I opened a case with support.

NolanHerring · ‎08-18-2023

Do you have a link you can share regarding that Microsoft issue?

NolanHerring · ‎08-18-2023

Am I the only one still running 28.7 that isn't interested in going past that lol. It's stable, that's more important to me than any new features.

NolanHerring · ‎07-20-2023

From what I hear, there is going to be an option to do this in the near future.

I just got confirmation from a Meraki TAC case that rebooting a switch in a switch stack will only reboot 'that' specific switch and not all of them in the stack. If you want to reboot all the switches, we have to do them all individually. This lines up with my contact on the MS team feedback as well. This applies to all switches except the MS390.

NolanHerring · ‎07-10-2023

So that document only specifies that the MS390 models will have the entire stack reboot if you click on one and reboot it. The non-MS390 models (say MS250 etc.), from what I have gathered, if you reboot a single switch in a stack, it will only reboot that single switch and not the entire stack. This is based on historical experience (it's just been forever so I can't remember well now) but also a contact who would know confirmed. I also opened a TAC case to have support confirm as well. So for now I believe you have to reboot each one manually in the stack, but I won't lie, that seems real lame.

So all my networks are on 14.33.1 and I was looking at upgrading to 15.21.1 and did some community searches and found several red flag discussions with people reverting back to 14.33.1. I'm not in any rush so I'll hold off, but it seems like 15.21.1 is causing issues for people. Thoughts?

Are you using TAGS for the SSID broadcasting control and forget to place those tags on these new APs? You will want to use a scanner on your laptop or phone to validate if they are actually broadcasting or not.

NolanHerring · ‎01-30-2023

The release notes from 29.5 and 29.5.1 are identical, like 100% the same. So what did this introduce/fix?

NolanHerring · ‎01-05-2023

I can't speak for Meraki, but 6GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) requires WPA3 or better. Meraki's current implementation of iPSK does not support WPA3, so that is why you are running into that.

Before we can assist you any further, you'll have to let us know what the client machine is. Specifically if you can let us know what the actual network interface card (NIC) model is.

NolanHerring · ‎10-28-2022

With the MR44 and MR46 model, you should really be running 28.X at minimum as there are many improvements and bug fixes for Wi-Fi 6 models. I would wager that the devices are still functional, and are only losing cloud connectivity which was an issue I was dealing with myself, and it was a known problem (bug) that Meraki support had a RCA case opened for that they attached my cases to. Your specific issue with the devices rebooting or showing cloud connectivity was fixed in 28.7+. AP may lose Cloud connectivity for an interval of time (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E APs)

NolanHerring · ‎08-18-2022

Thanks @PhilipDAth ! I was not aware of those links. These will certainly help in the future. I just wish they would put images on the product page for each device. Maybe Amazon has spoiled me =(

NolanHerring · ‎08-18-2022

/vent-mode-enable Dear 'Mr. Meraki You Guy', By that I mean the VP or higher at Meraki who is the person solely responsible for being the decision maker that signed off on the use of crap thumbnail quality photos of your products that you are selling. Why do I STILL have to go to eBay to get high quality images of your products so that I can confirm port numbering, or maybe check to see if the power port is a C13 or C15. Buy 👏 a 👏 camera 👏 /vent-mode-disable

Upgraded finally to 28.6 and once again, running into stability issues with the scanners. Having to roll back.

NolanHerring · ‎06-14-2022

I saw the pop-up for the new dashboard and already knew it was going to be a huge mistake to try it out, so I didn't bother. Glad to see I was right lol. Dear Meraki, please stop coming up with solutions looking for a problem. Did anyone even ask for a new UI or is this just like idle hands are the devils workshop type of thing. We don't need a new UI. We need you to make minor tweaks to the one we already know and love, like uptime on devices etc. Please don't reinvent the wheel 😃

NolanHerring · ‎05-11-2022

And actually now that I look at it further, I think its a dashboard cosmetic issue. If I check the SSID, the value that was all uppercase and is now all lowercase is there, and it is telling me that 'No APs matched'. If I change it to all uppercase like my tag/SSID are configure for, it will show the correct number of access points that match. However, since its telling me that none match, but its still 'working', it leads me to believe its cosmetic. I never bothered going back to fix it because I might be wasting my time if Meraki breaks it again.

NolanHerring · ‎05-11-2022

I have noticed the same issue, where the tag (previously all CAPS by me) was converted to all lowercase. I thought it would be an issue, but its never caused the SSID's to stop broadcasting. In fact, if I hover over an SSID that isn't enabled on the AP, it indicates that the SSID will only broadcast if the tag is enabled, and the tag name it shows is in all lowercase. It does not seem to matter if its all lowercase or all uppercase. I think in your situation, its possible and unfortunate, that you have a mixture of uppercase and lowercase in the word itself that might be causing your issue. I have not run into any problems with all my uppercase tags getting converted to lowercase (thank the Lord). This would have be like the nightmare from before when Meraki accidentally deleted ALL floorplans on all Orgs by mistake.

NolanHerring · ‎02-10-2022

@Michael_Singer Thanks for replying and being aware of the community feedback. I saw this today, which might interest you: "Is Meraki still selling antennas? I could barely find the page that had AP's on it but it seems impossible to find the page for antennas." As for other improvements, a comparison feature would be nice so that I can choose two access points I'm trying to compare, and see the differences side by side. The only way to do that is on a PDF scrolling up and down repeatedly.

NolanHerring · ‎02-09-2022

Well thanks for the update @Ryan_Miles - Was there an announcement about this? I only ask because I have sites that could have benefit from this increase but I never knew about it, so never increased it. If it was announced I want to make sure I'm able to get those notifications for improvements like these, vs stumbling across them randomly. And hi @DarrenOC , hope you are doing well 😃

NolanHerring · ‎02-09-2022

So when I first bought the MX67 model, the max bandwidth (and still stated on the MX Family Datasheet), is 450Mbps. I'm creating a new site today with an MX67 and I just noticed the max bandwitdth for the WAN interfaces can now go up to 600Mbps. I checked all my previously built sites, and they show this: When I click on the 'simple' button, it gives me the option to increase it to 600Mbps. The only other MX I have is the MX84, which can still only go up to 500Mbps. All my MX units for all sites are running firmware version 15.44, and I don't see any notes about it being increased. Anyone else seeing this?

NolanHerring · ‎01-07-2022

Crap >.< I'm sure I closed out that a banner a long time ago since I see them so often. Not sure if there is a place to reference those. Anyhow, it looks like someone up top made an executive decision to take away features from the older models and only allow new models to have them. Deliberate or not, its lame. They are supposed to improve and enhance, not make it worse lol. Oh well, mystery solved, nothing I can do about it. Thanks for helping @Ryan_Miles

NolanHerring · ‎01-07-2022

I think I might know why. What firmware version are you running? I have another site with 27.7.1 and I can see it there. This site I have is 26.8.3 and its not showing, and its an MR32 so I can't go any higher. I really hope someone up top didn't remove this and tie it to firmware versions. It's been around since forever, ugh.
