@RaphaelL I think the configuration is out of date need to have some form of timer before it shows an alert because seeing an error briefly each time you make a change would annoy me and would be like the boy who cried wolf.

Part 2 is where you link it to your dashboard using the API and its colour changes depending on the status of your network. Is this going to be a new theme, how can you modify Meraki swag?

BlakeRichardson

It turns out that even if you delete devices from your network but they are still loaded into your DEP then they are still technically in Meraki so will show in any settings profiles they were scoped to before they were deleted. Once you remove them from your DEP (only do this if you are disposing obviously) they they disapear from Meraki. The other alternative is remove any tagging from devices before you delete them. To me this just seems like bad programming but what can you do.

BlakeRichardson

I have checked to documentation and it makes no mention of having to un-scope devices. Log in to Dashboard, and select the appropriate SM network. Navigate to Systems manager > Monitor > Devices Mark the checkbox for each device to remove. At the top of the Client list, select Delete > Remove from Network.

BlakeRichardson

You will need to get in touch with your Meraki account manager although given its been months and not days I am not sure if they could do anything.

Welcome @Almanac

@DjShroll Awesome thanks for sharing the outcome!

@kevinmodonnell You have you answer but just FYI POE is an industry standard just like Wifi, Radius etc. Meraki doesn't care if you mix their hardware with other equipment.

BlakeRichardson

What brand and model of inverter are you using? To me it sounds like a power supply issue rather than hardware.

BlakeRichardson

@JarettOpp I am guessing mains power is not an option? How is the 48v system recharged? What is connected to the switches and is there a pattern when they are going offline i.e. at night because a CCTV cameras IR / heater is turning on?

BlakeRichardson

It seems odd that they would allocate multiple public facing IP's for client devices to use instead of providing a single subnet with a single public facing IP with the ability to allow ports where required. I wouldn't be happy as an ISP having a client have devices directly connected to the internet without being behind a firewall. God knows what amount of unsecure / jerry rigged devices you would see turn up at a conference.

I think a big help in major outages would be a banner on the login page explaining there is an outage and having a link to a seperate "status" page.

BlakeRichardson

@PhilipDAth It's all a conspiracy.

BlakeRichardson

@Eddie01 This is a good reason why as much IT equipment as possible should be on a UPS if you can afford it.

BlakeRichardson

@Mayurf5techno As mentioned the size of the current networks will determine how you configure the new single subent. What class are your current networks?

BlakeRichardson

If you have simply changed to VLAN tagging on the port the client is connected to and have not physically moved the switch port its plugged into then you will need to renew the DHCP lease on the client itself. Easiest way would be the restart the device.

BlakeRichardson

@MKK What you are asking isn't possible with any vendor, firewalls just don't simply work like that.

BlakeRichardson

I resolved my problem, typo in the client IPv4 attribute.

I am trying to setup Radus accounting with a Forti Authenticator. I have it setup and working with Ruckus access points however when i set it up with Meraki MR's it doesn't work. Its setup Radius accounting in the dashboard and setup the Fortiauth to use the Meraki AP as a radius accounting source. I've also made sure there are no ACL's inthe way of the MR and Fortiauth. I can't see anyway from the dashboard to test that the MR is actually talk with the FortiAuth. Meraki Kbase is not very helpful either and if i can't get this working thats the nail in the coffin for Meraki being a potential candidate as a wireless vendor.

The biggest challenge facing my department is software that was obtained without using a proper procurement process therefore we have many systems that don't communicate that require triple handling of information in some cases. This coupled with the rate of technological change and the fact staffing hasn't increased in the 13 years I've worked here doesn't help. It sometimes feels like we are being given bigger faster steam trains to operate but our coal shovels still remain the same size.

@RonM228 If the devices have been enrolled using configurator and not DEP this is normal. There is a 30 day period before the device profile cannot be removed. " If you’ve acquired devices outside of Apple or participating Apple Authorized Resellers or carriers, they can also be added to DEP using Apple Configurator. When you set up a device that has been manually enrolled, it behaves like any other enrolled device, with mandatory supervision and MDM enrollment. However, the user has a 30-day provisional period to remove the device from enrollment, supervision, and MDM.  " Source https://www.apple.com/mx/business-docs/DEP_Guide.pdf

Its possible some of the devices like the printer are going into power save mode.

BlakeRichardson

Can you please supply a screenshot to provide some context?

BlakeRichardson

@Twitch If you have a trunk port anywhere on your network that is configured with allowed VLANS as "all" then you technically have 4094 possible VLANS on your network.

@MarcP Have the users checked their junkmail?
