If it helps I have deployed AI-RRM and have FRA enabled in one of the most challenging RF environments I have ever seen. 2500m2 floors * 3 we deployed 71*MR 44 to cover all three floors. For reasons passing understanding my customer allowed one of their subsidiaries to deploy their own wireless network (Aruba) virtual AP for AP. In addition to which the office is located, in the middle of a business park surrounded by defence and aerospace companies doing radar work. Not to mention the local airport. I am getting the below DFS events every day. I found AI-RRM helped some – not as much are reducing the AP Tx level and probably the biggest help was changing the RX-SOP from the default -95dBm to -85dBm. Meraki even give guidance of taking this to -78dBm in high density deployments. Given the customer hasn’t paid for the advance licensed we are planning to turn of the AI-RRM in the coming weeks to evaluate home much of difference it has actually made. 600+ clients on one floor and Meraki RF score as high as 100% 0% CCI – RF performance is rated good by Meraki Feb 18 17:23:20 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 108, radio: 1 Feb 18 15:30:38 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 112, radio: 1 Feb 18 15:03:53 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 112, radio: 1 Feb 18 14:07:06 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 60, radio: 1 Feb 18 12:51:12 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 116, radio: 1 Feb 18 12:25:55 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 112, radio: 1 Feb 18 11:39:15 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 132, radio: 1 Feb 18 11:08:39 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 108, radio: 1 Feb 18 11:04:36 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 52, radio: 1 Feb 18 10:23:35 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 52, radio: 1 Feb 18 10:08:11 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 132, radio: 1 Feb 18 09:22:46 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 108, radio: 1 Feb 18 09:04:06 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 64, radio: 1 Feb 18 08:39:37 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 52, radio: 1 Feb 18 08:35:25 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 140, radio: 1 Feb 18 07:49:39 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 132, radio: 1 Feb 18 07:31:49 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 108, radio: 1 Feb 18 07:18:25 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 140, radio: 1 Feb 18 07:10:31 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 52, radio: 1 Feb 18 06:59:17 DFS DFS event detected band: 5, channel: 56, radio: 1

The only thing you can do is check your event log and filter for DFS Events. See if they are all on the same channel and then under the RF disable that channel. Or you if don't have too many APs disable the UNII-2 bands which are used by Radar sources. Your AP's have to listen for the RADAR signal and if detected they have to move off the channel for 30 minutes.

Thank you. That is an option I am considering. Its made more complex by the fact if I connect my access switch to a pair of MS425-16 switches and connect them to MX the test machine doesn't drop any packets if we unplug the active uplink to the MX. I am going to conduct failover tests of the MS425-16 cores and see what happens.

This is what I am trying to determine. My research indicates that Meraki whilst supporting LACP only works in slow mode. So in theory it could take the Access switch 90 seconds to detect that its active core switch has failed and move traffic to the standby core switch but I would expect this to be quicker as the active core reboots on failover. My understanding of SVL was that the active and standby are synchronized at the control plane level so I would not expect delay there. I have subsequently found out that the MX can take 4 seconds to determine that the primary LAN connection has failed before it starts routing traffic down the secondary LAN connection to the standby core switch. Just pulling the primary LAN connection to the active MX will trigger VRRP transitions on the MX. AI CHAT has also thrown 4 cisco bug ID's associated with SVL in 17.12.6 which when I put into the Cisco bug search tool reports I am not authorized to view. As the ID's didn't come back not found I have to assume that they are real. I am trying to find out what they are whether I need to abandon the 17.12.x train for 17.15.x I wasn't around when the original network was built but speaking with the engineers who were and have conducted failover testing and upgrades the have no recollection of any impact. I am going to test that next week.

Anyone got any experience of mixing Meraki MX with catalyst switches in stackwise-virtual mode. Test Client working fine with access to the internet. When simulate a network failure by switching of the active switch the client loses connectivity to the internet and a continuous ping show an outage of circa 30 seconds. As a test re-established the network connectivity and just unplugged the connection from active C9407 to the Active MX P25 and still seeing loss of connectivity of up to 4 seconds.

I found this useful so thought I would share. If you have APs across multiple floors and want to visualise the channel distribution. Export your list of APs in RF Spectrum. Open the csv file and save as an xlsx file. Upload to Copilot. (Haven't tried it with other AI tools) and use this prompt "Generate the combined multi-floor heatmap showing the distribution of APs against 5GHz channel split over the 3 floors identified by the 1st digit after "WAM" in AP name ie 0,1,2" This relies on an AP naming convention where you can distinguish the floors our APs are name XC-AZW-X-WAMxNN where x is the floor number. Take copilot less than a minute. Then you can filter the spreadsheet by channel to identify which APs are on the same channel.

Is it possible to request features for the API. For instance I can update a 3rd Party VPN but I can't create one. I have been asked to look at changing one of our current customers 3rd party connections to Azure so that each network has a unique shared-secret. with a view to rotating the shared secret every quarter. The customer has over 30+ networks and growing so an obvious candidate for an API script to generate 30 new IPSEC peers each with a unique tag and shared-key and co-ordinate the change with their Azure team.

Has anyone deployed 32.1.5 and come across any issues. Searching the message boards doesn't show much. But I did see 32.1.6 is now the Stable Candidate release due to an issue with AP's negotiating 100Mbs rather than 1000Mbs. We will look to upgrade to 32.1.6 just wanted to see if there are any other gotchas I should be aware of. Thanks

Does anyone know if Meraki can or will amend the failover mechanism from the backend to speed up failover times. I have a customer office where the MX is behind a SP router. The WAN into the router failed and the customer reported failover to the backup Starlink was nearly 5 minutes. Meraki docs explain this is the default action. Customer has asked if this can be amended.

I have a pair of MX68 in HA mode with two WAN connections to ISP routers with each router with a dedicated /28 public subnets. VRRP address configured on the MX68. We a have a MR44 connected to port 11. If WAN 1 is disconnected traffic doesn't failover to WAN 2. The WAP goes offline. The WAP is using the VRRP address as its public ip address. A packet capture shows any traffic with source of the VRRP failing. When I change the setting to use physical IP address. The WAP comes online. Traffic fails over to WAN 2 with no issue. Is is this normal behaviour or are firewall rules needed to use the VRRP address?

But I can't encode varaiables directly into the url. Research suggests you do this by using the keyword params in the requests library Any more experienced coders out there got any advice please.

I am having issue with the above call. If I only add the query param productType=appliance then I get the event log returned. If I add the second parameter includedEventTypes[]=eventType where eventType is a string based on the previously captured output eventType="non_meraki_vpn" or "Non-Meraki VPN negotiation" it returns no events found despite the event log clearly showing events. without the attempted filter the api returns 'type': 'non_meraki_vpn', 'description': 'Non-Meraki VPN. negotiation' the API doc states Any suggestions gratefully received.

I have an organization with some 20 sites. All sites partake in the auto-auto site to site vpn for their Corporate subnets. I also have two non-Meraki VPNs one to Azure and one to a specialist 3rd Party from a single site. The Corporate subnets need to access Azure. I have a standalone subnet that needs is used to communicate with the specialist 3rd Party VPN. Sporadically the 3rd Party is reporting that they are seeing traffic coming from one of the Corporate subnets. Of which there are 5 enabled for VPN. Raised case with Meraki and there advice was to disable the VPN which isn't an option Are VPN Outbound FW rules the only way to control what traffic goes down what VPN?
