I was introduced to Meraki products in 2016 when a new coworker pointed them out as an up-and-coming company that Cisco had just purchased. I work at a City municipality and we have replaced our access layer and wifi at all the buildings. We have also implemented the easy to connect Meraki VPN teleworker appliances. The always online connectivity and ease of use makes it very easy to train interns and backup support. The only thing I have as an issue I still have not recieved Meraki swag. I even did a Thesis for my english class about Meraki as a vendor I appreciate!   ... View more

I have a wierd issue I haven't seen before and can't find an answer for online. Ports 21-24(copper) are using a dual media mode taking ports 25-28(SFP modules). I can't seem to seperate the ports, so it's losing 4 ports. I didn't change anything, and since I am currently not using the SFP ports it wasn't a big issue. I recently turned off all extra ports so when I disabled port 23(not the uplink thankfully) it turned off both ports(23 and 27). Anyone seen this problem before? Thanks, Mike Anderson   ...

I setup an alert for switch ports using a tag on two ports from 1 MS225 switch. I think this is a very useful tool and much easier to setup alerts than in Solarwinds.

The guest/Meraki DHCP SSID (10.0.0.0/8) is caching internal DNS entries. Laptops inside the LAN that are using the guest SSID that has the setting "clients being blocked from using LAN" are still trying to resolve DNS internal IP addresses.   I want these websites that do have internal DNS records to actually resolve externally to DNS on public addresses. I have tried ipconfig /flushdns, and have tried assigning content filtering to external DNS. I have also created a new SSID with the deny any Local LAN traffic turned on before it has the chance to cache internal DNS records.   Currently the only way I have found to fix the webpages that are trying to resolve internally is allow the internal DNS names and ports into the Layer 3 firewall rules on SSID settings. This is a tedious task for each webpage/DNS entry to put both 80/443. The other problem is larger external webpages like portal.office.com that resolve to Single sign on need alot of ports allowed through at the Layer 3 firewall rules. Is there an easier way to do this, and am I using the best method for not allowing guest network. Thanks in advance for the input.   Mike Anderson ... View more
