Meraki

SteveHen

Hi, Please can I get some understanding for potential solutions for a problem with NAC using ISE. I have Meraki switches and the L3 is held on the SD WAN devices. Currently various client vlans but moving to NAC what are the options for the client vlan. NAC will place a client into a user vlan. This will centrally from my understanding place the port into a single vlan number across the estate. Where I have large site across multiple buildings I do not really want to have a single vlan 10 for all client connections that would need to be a /22 for the number of clients. This could cause some STP issues that I would like to avoid. Thanks, Steve

Do you know how long it would take a switch to startup when it has already had a configuration and is staying in the same location with the same configuration and firmware? I am trying to ensure that devices depending on these switches for DHCP will be serviced or determine if they need a UPS or if devices around site should simply be switched off so that they can be switched on in the morning and get the address from DHCP as the switch would have booted by then. The switches are also inline. SD WAN - DS - AS - AS - AS due to the cabling at site. Do we need to wait for each switch to gain its config before the next one will?

Hi, I have a site that is going to experience power issues. We will need a generator at site and maybe some UPS. The site are also planning on having a power down overnight. This will take the switches, APs and SD WAN offline. When the power comes on again it will take the SD WAN a few minutes to come online and build the tunnels. As the switches will come up at the same time when the power comes on for the whole site the switches will look to get their configuration but this will not be available while the SD WAN is not running. So my question is how often will the Meraki switches try to get their configuration when they boot up without it. Is there a way I can look to save a configuration on these devices. Thanks, Steve

Has anyone put together an API script to check which APs show the alert?
