Awesome, thanks for sharing. It might pay to let everyone know that you are affiliated with the company though.

I feel this feature has a few bugs, for me 16.6.1 wasn't showing in the iPadOS options and I had to refresh my page. Under MacOS I was also getting a list of random applications and not OS updates. When trying to update iPadOS 15 devices to 16.6.1 I get the following error.

BlakeRichardson

@MattMorg Awesome, will this work for all devices or just supervised devices? Not being able to force updates on devices that are not supervised is a sore point as it means with zero day threats we need to manually ask everyone to update their devices and then confirm that they do so.

BlakeRichardson

As mentioned SM doesn't support priorities like Jamf, the best option would be scope the profile, confirm 100% install and then scope the app. This method will work OK with doing all devices at once but adding in devices later down the track will get messy and require you to create new tags. It's not ideal but it's a solution.

All Meraki gear comes with a guide explaining how to connect the equipment. It's probably with the safety certifications page you threw in the bin.

BlakeRichardson

From what I understand AWS doesn't allow customers equipment in their data centres. VMX is your only option if you want a Meraki security appliance within your AWS VPC

I do like systems that use seperate ports for management traffic, everything using port 443 while convenient just becomes a large melting pot of traffic.

@Jayluong Welcome.

What are you using as a Radius server, NPS or something else? I manage a network with 600+ Apple MacBooks on using 802.1x and never had the issue you have described.

BlakeRichardson

I gave up on using it.

@CameronMoody Might be interested to know this if his team aren't already working on it.

I agree, the fault could simply be upstream of the AP or could be an interference issue with neighbouring wifi. I would suggest if you haven't visit the location of the problem and have a look at one of the affected devices. Take another laptop with you and see if they freshly connected device has the same issue. What does the wifi health in the dashboard show?

BlakeRichardson

I only reboot if there is an issue with a specific device. Rebooting all devices often for no real reason will cause headaches as the access points will need to work out what channels they are all going to use again which means your wireless network will take time to settle each time you do this.

BlakeRichardson

I think you need to talk to support on this one.

BlakeRichardson

@JustinGA ah gotcha, nope as Ryan mentioned there is no downtime with enabling it and good on you for checking. Hope your maintenance goes well.

Great podcast, I am a massive fan of the app, I use daily at both work and at home. It's great to be able to make network configuration changes on the go as mentioned, that is my biggest use at work. For home I use it mostly for MV access. It would be great if packet captures could be started via the app and the results emailed with the attached pcap file Guest wifi generation would also be useful as that is something I am often asked when I don't have my laptop on me.

BlakeRichardson

@JustinGA I am not sure what you are asking exactly. I use SNMP to monitor devices within a boarder monitoring system we use and haven't found any issues with having it enabled. It's doesn't appear to have any performance impact on equipment.

BlakeRichardson

Meraki MAC filtering works based on Allowing devices not denying them so you would have to add all of the allowed devices to each port. Can you not restrict access to a single port on the switch at a physical level instead?

BlakeRichardson

@tetranet yes you can move the devices between networks within the dashboard, if the configs are very different like you mentioned I would go the extra step of factory resetting the hardware as well so that when it boots up it pulls the correct config and has no trace of the old config on it.

It was retired for new sign up's but kept active for existing users.

@AaronS Welcome. videos games eh, you don't happen to play Rust do you?

BlakeRichardson

Yeah my apologies didn't have my glasses on. They are Forti-link ports by default, you will need to make sure you change the port type before using them.

BlakeRichardson

@CMiranda1 the 100F doesn't have 10Gb ports.

I received this email this morning and thought it was worth sharing as I know there are a few community members using the legacy SM. I was expecting it to happen at some point Hello Meraki customer, Cisco Meraki will be retiring Systems Manager (SM) Legacy and Free 100 licensing types on February 7, 2024. Our records show that you may be using these license entitlements and will therefore not be able to enroll new devices on your Meraki SM Legacy or Free 100 networks after the retirement date. Retirement details: This retirement will only affect Legacy and Free 100 license entitlements. Post-retirement, any network using these license entitlements will be treated as “SM Without Licensing,” but new devices won’t be able to be added. Recommended customer action: If you are affected by this change and wish to continue enrolling more devices after the retirement date, you will be required to purchase new SM licenses. Please see our FAQ for more information about the retirement and license compliance, or reach out to your account manager or reseller to purchase new licenses. If you have any questions not covered in the FAQ, please reach out to Meraki Technical Support at support@meraki.com Thank you, Cisco Meraki Technical Support

Well done everyone and special congrats to @DarrenOC for achieving the top ranking for the month and for @AaronS I saw that post recently looking for topics on cable testing results
