Re: Another ms425 question

@Bruce not really relevant here as we are discussing the 425s; but as far as I know you can use normal QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers in the rear facing stacking ports of the other Meraki switches.  So you could theoretically stack two MS355X-48s many miles/km apart...   ... View more

@DerekGerard a bit left field here, but why not consolidate on MS355X-48s, you get 32x1Gb Cu, 16x10Gb Cu, 4xSFP+,  2xQSFP+ and 2xQSFP28 stacking ports per switch.  Stack a few up and plenty of SFP+ ports. ... View more

@jphipps are you intending on connecting the 3750X stack to the MS225 stack with two links bonded together?   If so then leave the config line there and connect both fibres, if not and you are only going to use a single connection then you don't need the port-channel config on the 3750X side.   I am not saying that they should not be connected, just trying to clarify how many connections there will be between the stacks.   Out of interest, you haven't taken one cable from the 2960 stack and moved it to the 225s have you, leaving the other one still plugged into the 2960s?  If so that is the issue as both cables from a port-channel pair must be plugged into the same stack at each end, i.e. both in the 3750Xs <-> both in the 2960s OR both in the 3750Xs <-> both in the MS225s  ...

@jphipps I was referring to the channel-mode line, if you only have one link from the 3750Xs to the MS225s then this is redundant and *could* be causing an issue. ... View more

@jphipps this line,  channel-group 3 mode active, means that the port is part of an etherchannel (or port channel).  I'm guessing you have one cable from the 3750X to the MS225, if so you don't want that line.  However before removing it look at the part of the Cisco config for the channel-group.  There might be a different mode there or different VLANs in the trunk etc. which can stop it coming up. ...

@JonasResende we see this all the time where it goes from green to yellow and sometimes red.  It doesn't affect connections that are already up, but it would stop new connections being made while it was disconnected.   How often do you see it completely disconnected, if more than occasionally you can raise a support ticket to be moved to a different cloud server.   We were going to do that but it calmed down and we only occasionally see red now, and it has never affected the site to site connections. ...

@jphipps we have MS225s links to Cisco 3850s via 10GbE transceivers in port 49, though we are using the Meraki ones: Are the ports both side set to trunk mode native VLAN1 allow all VLANs (or at least matching)?  Have you got any port channels configured on the 3750-Xs?   Finally, I am sure you are aware, but just in case, the 3750-Xs are EOL in 6 months time as far as I know. ...

@Marsrock2021 you are unlikely to find a passive 40GbE DAC that runs to 10m they normally max out at 5m.  Active DACs are really finicky so I'd go with two transceivers and a 10m OM4 patch lead for this connection. ... View more

@whistleblower I'd use 355Xs as an access stack, in fact I have replaced a stack on 3850s with 355Xs and the Cu 2.5/5/10GbE is a great benefit for access.  As they have QSFP+ ports we are going to use those to link to our core at that site. ... View more

New 16.5 firmware, plenty of fixes

Security appliance firmware versions MX 16.5 changelog Important notice This is an early-stage beta version for the MX 16 release. Due to this, we recommend taking additional caution before upgrading production appliances. Where applicable, MX 15 or MX 14 releases will provide a more stable upgrade alternative. Due to a regression currently under investigation, MX appliances may be unable to establish cellular connectivity on both integrated cellular modems and external USB modems. We recommend that customers that rely on cellular connectivity in their deployments wait until a later MX 16 release to upgrade. Legacy products notice When configured for this version, Z1, MX60, MX60W, MX80, and MX90 devices will run MX 14.55. Bug fixes Resolved an issue that resulted in the DNS lookup live tool always sending DNS queries to the DNS server configured on the uplink, regardless of whether a different IP address was specified when running the tool. Corrected a case that could result in a crash of the process responsible for managing and maintaining non-Meraki and client VPN tunnels. Fixed a very rare case that could result in packet loss on MX64(W) appliances. Corrected an MX 16.4 issue that may have resulted in the device local status page incorrectly reporting that the appliance was not able to communicate with the Meraki Cloud. Resolved an issue that resulted in Layer 3 firewall rules including FQDNs in the source or destination addresses failing to apply when MX appliances were configured in passthrough mode. Corrected an issue that resulted in an MX not properly updating the MTU value used for AutoVPN after 1) the MX appliance had established an AutoVPN tunnel with multiple MX appliances, 2) the AutoVPN peer appliances had different MTU values, and 3) the AutoVPN peer appliance possessing the lowest MTU value was disconnected and not reconnected. Fixed an issue that resulted in communications across non-Meraki site-to-site VPN connections not being subject to configured bandwidth limits. Update the AnyConnect VPN service Security improvements Known issues After making some configuration changes on MX84 appliances, a brief period of packet loss may occur. This will affect all MX84 appliances on all MX firmware versions Some stability-impacting issues present in MX 14 that affect a small population of MX67(C,W) and MX68(W,CW) appliances still exist. Some stability-impacting issues present in MX 14 that affect a small population of Z3(C) appliances still exist. Please note that until certification has been obtained, the Z3C will not be supported on Verizon's network. World-wide device SKUs of the MX67C, MX68CW, and Z3C units cannot be deployed in North America and North America device SKUs of the MX67C, MX68CW, and Z3C units cannot be deployed outside of North America. When deployed in warm spare / high availability (HA), MX67C and MX68CW do not support using their cellular connectivity to pass client traffic. In this deployment, the cellular connectivity can only be used for device monitoring or network troubleshooting. This is an expected limitation for these platforms. MX67C, MX68CW, and Z3C units must be connected to the Meraki Dashboard initially to retrieve an update to allow for proper use of the integrated cellular connectivity. This is most likely to be an issue when bringing the units online for the very first time. On the MX67(C,W) and MX68(W,CW) platforms, when the MX is providing PoE to a connected device, this information will not be reflected on the Meraki Dashboard. Due to MX 15 regressions, USB cellular connectivity may be less reliable on some modems Due to an MX 15 regression, the management port on MX84 appliances does not provide access to the local status page Client traffic will be dropped by MX65(W), MX67(C,W), and MX68(W,CW) appliances if 1) The client is connected to a LAN port with 802.1X authentication enabled and 2) The VLAN ID of the port is configured to 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, or 240. Significant performance regressions for VPN traffic may be observed on MX84 and MX100 appliances Group policies do not correctly apply to client devices Z3(C) appliances that are upgraded to MX 16 versions cannot directly downgrade to MX 14 releases. They must first downgrade to an MX 15 release. MX IDS security alerts are not detected for Anyconnect VPN traffic BGP-learned routes may not be properly reflected in the Route Table page on the Meraki Dashboard, despite BGP and packet routing operating correctly. There is an increased risk of encountering device stability issues on all platforms and across all configurations. ... View more
