I think there are other features which are lacking that I would prefer over 10Gb WAN interfaces. A bigger list of application signatures would be a start as well as being able to create interface zones.

Aruba has aproduct called UXI (previouslt capenetworks) that can monitor multiple wireless and wired networks as well as check network health i.e. DHCP DNS etc but it can also provide info on commonly used applications i.e. Google, Office 365 etc. I understand that Meraki has insight and wireless health but the difference with UXI is its a piece of hardware that acts as a client device so it can give you accurate info on what is happening from a clients point of view. Would be awesome to see Meraki do something similar.

Firmware ok? they haven't tried to update and got stuck? Maybe try factory resetting one of them.

As far as I know there is no clone option for cameras. You will have to start from scratch. This would be a handy option.

@DH_912 Unifi is not a Meraki product so I am confused as to what the problem is. The Meraki dashboard looks up device hostnames, if the device has not host name is will simply display its MAC address.

Broadcast storms kill CPU which what cause massive latency. The end result is the switch going

@RizkiMuhammad Not this isn't possible as far as I am aware. Meraki MR can mesh between themselves but they do not work with other vendors. Meraki is small-medium business grade hardware and TP-link is mostly consumer grade hardware.

@OBARRERA as long as the DHCP relay can acces both the subent and DHCP server there sohould be an issue. If the relay cannot access the DHCP server because of the way the network is configured you need to take another approach.

BlakeRichardson

@RG_NM Once you have established access to your dashboard make sure you remove the old account AND I would find a new vendor, its extremely bad practise not to give a customer access to the equipment they own. MSP should treat looking after customers as a privledge not a right therefore should allow customers full access. If a MSP is good at their good they shouldn't be worried a customer will severe ties with them.

@Eddie01 I am assuming you mean move between networks not an Organisation. If so the config will not follow the hardware. The config stays with the network.

BlakeRichardson

I have foudn AMP to be a pain and it has caused me numerous issues with online platforms like Steam where it was obstructing downloads for no reason with nothing listed in the event logs as to why traffic was blocked.

BlakeRichardson

@Eddie01 Have they tried following the instructions in the message? If the license hasn't been claimed they might be able to get it refunded and then re-order but you will need to speak to your account manager about that.

BlakeRichardson

@GuiCarvalho I am assuming you you are talking about site to site VPN and not client vpn? If so how have you configured you MX? as a hub or spoke? https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Site-to-site_VPN/Site-to-Site_VPN_Settings Also how have you configured your static routes?

BlakeRichardson

@MitchellMWA do you have full Org access for your Meraki account?

BlakeRichardson

I strongly agree with @KarstenI on all edge switches having POE. The cost difference is not worth the risk of putting in a device without it and having to replace it.

BlakeRichardson

Click on your username on the top right hand side of your dashboard page and its listed at the bottom of that popup menu.

@DatITguy My impression is that shared iPads are only supported in Apple school manager not Apple Business Manager.

BlakeRichardson

Systems Manager supports L2TP, IPSsec and Cisco Anyconnect.

BlakeRichardson

As mentioned that not possible, the only way to gather this info would be to possibly using the API to track this or pump Syslog out to something that can break this down for you.

BlakeRichardson

@Peter-Loyen the short answer is no, VPN requires a VPN client whether thats a native client as part of the OS or an APP. Meraki unfortunately doesn't support SSL-VPN which does allow you to get around needing a client but this only works for traffic that can be transmitted using SSL i.e. HTTPS, FTP, RDP, SMB, SSH, Telnet & VNC Most OS i.e. Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android have native VPN clients which Meraki should be able to push MDM profiles to.

BlakeRichardson

@MudMinnow Ekk solid blue, you might have to RMA that one. Doesn't sound normal so I would contact support who will most likely replace it.

BlakeRichardson

@Gentek LAN interfaces are configured using the Merkai Dashboard, the only interface you configure on an MX is the WAN interface so that the device has internet access. From there the dashboard is your next stop.

BlakeRichardson

@WaleedAmir have you opened a support case with Meraki? Your local LAN shouldn't be dropping packets by simply pinging your MR. How is your network setup is it a mostly flat network or do you hve routing between different subnets taking place on the MX? Roughly how many users do you have on your network?

BlakeRichardson

Apple Messages require an Apple ID to work otherise how does Apple know where to send messages to?

BlakeRichardson

I would assume not but having face ID enabled doesn't mean you need to use that method to unlock a device, if you clear the passcode you could still login that way and then reset face ID.
