We just went from 16.8 to 16.9 and have seen UDLD and LACP issues. We've also seen a bunch of other issues with CCTV infrastructure and some venerable SPA 5XX phones started being picky about which ports to run on. Sh**-show all around, wasting days of our time. Loads of confidence at the prospect of going to a RC when a minor supposedly-stable upgrade seems to bring down the house of cards. ... View more

I've got four freaking scrollbars showing on a 1920x1080 screen, and a very rude Help Centre button. Do you know how painful it is try to scroll the page with the mouse wheel?   The issue is pervasive in many of the other pages, not just this one.   Topology display is a joke. Try browser-zooming in on a path to get the port numbers with two near-by devices. You simply can't. Need to take a leaf out of Figma's Canvas zoom.   No "opt-in" Design feature to switch on that is supposed to resolve this.     (we fixed the VLAN issue in red).   Anyone also suffer from moanfully slow page-load times? We've complained about this multiple times over the years. Deaf ears. So deaf.         ... View more

With the latest device that bit the dust, the PoE symbol was there on the switch port, but no link light, and if my memory serves me correctly, minimal power consumption was metred. In this case, we don't yet know if it is a typical diode failure that was the issue with other devices from the same vendor, or something else. The third party device itself appeared to be completely dead. No lights, etc. Could it be that other devices (or sub-standard cabling with other devices) might be causing issues? Such as a short? I've seen PoE switches being reverse-powered by PoE supply from another switch, despite that not being a documented capability that we could find. Pretty freaky but perhaps handy at times. I've seen these switches also not "take on" AC supplied-power (which would be DC anyway), and when in that state would have to be disconnected form their PoE surrogate to be "righted". I think this was a SG300-10. But in my mind, this behaviour is a sign of how "simplistic" these switches could be. I would expect switches like Meraki to be a lot more regulated.   ... View more

Perhaps the vendor would beg to differ. We're keeping out minds open: Could it be a ... power issue? That depends, in part, about how Meraki handles power. May be it doesn't do much, if the power is dirty? Dunno. Nothing to go by, unless we start attaching power testing equipment with PoE ports and start screwing around with our AC.   ... View more

@Carolinet thanks for the tip, but @cmr is right. In our case, the reboot was so quick that it wasn't even registered on that bar. Went through event logs (EVENT LOGS DON'T EVEN HAVE IT!) and all, but the only clues were the ethernet states changing on the connected switches, and uplink changing from 0 to 1 (and I think back).   Meraki Support confirmed it was a reboot. No firmware upgrades. No power failure. No user-trigger.   We're in watch-and-wait mode now; see if it does it again.       ... View more

Last night our MX "blipped" out. We only knew because another 3rd party firewall sitting behind it reported the main links going. A few "Ethernet port carrier change" events were reported on the MX's active links. A couple of Primary Uplink status changes, too. On the other side, the MS switch's ports also went through a down-up cycle.   All for what seemed to be a very brief moment. That's all we could get out of Meraki's logs. No uptime info, no way of knowing if / when firmware updates took place.   The "blip" was short enough that the connectivity graphs are useless to show that anything happened.   To not have a way of seeing uptime information, or when firmware updates took place is ludicrous.   ...

n185 back to normal, now. ... View more

It seems that you can still make some changes by going via the Switch -> Switch Ports area.   Can't tell if the changes are working because I'm having issues with a device and can't see if there's any "Client" activity.     ... View more
