So is the 12VDC line to power the camera like the PoE would? I'm having an issue with snow accumulating on the camera, especially overnight. I can address this by trying to add a shield around the mount but it's tricky....

Hi all, I'm installing my first MV73X camera and I'm a little confused as to the use of the 12V line. The 73X has the normal RJ45 line for power/data but it also has a 12V line that connects to a screw type connector marked 12VDC. Is the for additional heating of the unit in cold temps? The install guide doesn't seem to mention it.

I've been seeing a few reports from Air Marshal about a reoccurring endpoint. I've see others that are, because of the name, clearly known devices (like a Roku from a smart TV, or a printer looking to direct connect). There is one called "The Net" that keeps popping up. I think this is a wifi network from a neighboring house but I'm not sure. I've told my AP to contain the threat. Is there anything else I can do? Any way of making sure it's from a neighbor?

Thanks Mloraditch... I didn't think of that. I'll have to do some testing....

Are there any integrations between Meraki wireless and Cisco Firepower? I'm seeing traffic reports in Firepower but I can't see the client associated with the traffic, instead I see the IP of the access point.

Soooo, how long does it take for a firmware to go from "Stable release candidate" to "Stable"?

That's interesting.... The TVOC rating is because it was only connected yesterday so I'm sure it will show up soon... Your screenshot doesn't show temp or humidity... Is it because you don't alert on those values?

Just installed my first sensor in our NOC and I'm getting a Fair indoor air quality. According to what I'm seeing, the ambient noise is high and the temperature is low.... Reading the info bubbles, this is based off OSHA guidelines based on an office space. Can this stuff be changed??? It's a NOC not an office.... It's loud because of servers and AC units and cold because it's supposed to me cold....

Thanks Connor, that's good news.... Not sure what the switch is in the link Anshuman posted. MS120-8FP-HW

Ah, that's what I saw as well... but, if they are indeed EoL in 2025, why are they still for sale on Meraki's site? https://meraki.cisco.com/product/switches/access-switches/ms120-8/

Hi all, Does anyone know what the End of Life date is for the Meraki MS120-8FP switches? I've done some searching on Meraki's site and I've seen the EoL list but I don't see an entry for the MS120-8FP or any MS120 switches. I remember seeing a date of 9/21/2025 but I still see these switches listed on the Meraki site so I think that date is incorrect.

Thank you for your help Ryan... I changed the VLAN on the two uplinks and the issue is resolved!

So, as a test, I set the switch to a static address (same as the DHCP reservation) and I included the all the fields like the netmask, gateway, DNS and VLAN set to 181 but it doesn't seem to update the switch even though the settings page shows the config is up to date. It just seems the switch isn't taking any settings change. I can still successfully ping the switch so I know the switch is still up.

Okay, I changed the VLAN on one switch to 181 but it still shows as VLAN 1 on the panel to the left.

That's correct... The upstream switch is configured as native VLAN181. The one switch that isn't having issues is one I just deployed 2 weeks ago. The setting on the unaffected switch is the same as the affected ones on the 3750

Thanks for the reply Ryan... I changed the management VLAN in the switch settings page as you suggested. Now all my switches are giving that same error. Everything does seem to be functioning normally. Does it just take time for the error to clear?

Thanks Ryan... What will this do to switch traffic in progress? Will it cause a service interruption?

I have 5 Meraki MS120-8 switches on my network. They are fed via a 2Gb uplink trunk from a Cisco 3750. The trunk is setup as switchport trunk native vlan 181 (181 is the management VLAN). When I installed the switches I left the management VLAN setting on the switch's config page blank and the switch adopted it as VLAN 1. The addressing on the switch is set to use DHCP and my DHCP server has a reservation to give it the correct address (which it has). Reading the documentation, Meraki switches don't do VTP domains so I should manually give it the correct VLAN number. When I manually assign VLAN 181 as the management VLAN I get this error... Should the switch's address not be in the same VLAN as the management VLAN?

Thank you Darren! That article is very helpful.... I decided to setup my remote office network dashboard as a copy of my current dashboard, edit the remote office dashboard to remove the primary office stuff, then try individually moving APs over from the current to the remote. This will minimize the impact on network availability while the AP changes from the current dashboard to the remote.

I've been working on cleaning up some aspect of my network. Currently I have one Meraki network dashboard that runs everything. My company has two sites and I would like to diversify the dashboard to have one network dashboard for each site. If I create a new network for the remote site would I copy the configuration from my current site and just add the correct devices from the main site to the new one? Is this process going to impact my networks that are already in production or does this only affect the dashboard?

It's interesting... I've checked/updated the firmware on my MR52's on a regular basis and I'm running 26.6 now. I got the e-mail from Meraki Support that says I'm scheduled to upgrade to 26.6.1 on 1/20/2020. I've been running Meraki for about 3 years now and I've never had my firmware upgrade for any Meraki device scheduled by Meraki Support. This along with the somewhat vague release notes as Nolan mentioned makes me wonder what's going on here.

Thanks Nolan... I did try moving to the 80Mhz range (as kYutobi suggested) as a test with some increase in speed... Not practical in production though... I work at college and we're supposed to get an onslaught of about 80 high school kids this weekend so I'm trying to setup to handle 80 kids with multiple devices doing all kinds of things...

Hey Nolan, Yes, I'm set for 20Mhz. I'm using Chome but I get the same results from IE and Opera.

Quick question about throughput on my Meraki wireless.... My network runs all MR52 access points and I've been trying to get some better throughput when I run speed tests. My test MR52 is running a CAT6 cable directly into a switch. We just installed a 1Gb Internet EDIA circuit. If I speed test with a laptop on the wired port, I get a download of around 800Mb down and 780Mb up from Speedtest.net If I speed test with the same laptop on a wireless connection to an MR52 I top out at about 120Mb up and down. The wireless network I'm connecting to is 5Ghz only with nobody else on it. I've whitelisted my laptop and there is no shaping being done. The MR52 is showing a 1Gb connection to the switch. Testing the throughput in the in the Meraki control panel shows me about 75Mb (down?). I know there should be some loss when running speed tests but the numbers I'm seeing seem kinda extreme. I would expect to see at least 300 to 500 down. I've even tried running tests from Speedtest.net and my provider (thinking the shortest hop would be just off my network) with different devices and I still can't get any speed from it. I ran these tests using a test AP and test wifi network but even in my production environment I'm seeing the same 100 to 120Mb barrier on the speed test and about 300Mb test from the Meraki control panel on MR52 AP's with 2Gb uplinks.
