@SoCalRacer Could you not mount on the ceiling tile itself? Sandwich the tile between the camera and a piece of wooden board on the otherside so that it has a decent fixing. Much easier to replace the tile than the T-bar when you end up replacing hardware.

@kYutobi I haven't re-configured the stack or swapped cables around, the only thing I have done it reboot the affected switch. I'll give it a few hours and report back tomorrow if its cleared up. @MerakiDave Thanks for the info, what models of switch have you seen this on, I wonder if its related to the type of stacking.

BlakeRichardson

So I have setup stacking on the two MS435-32 that I have, stacking ports are green and connected as recommended in the kBase article but I am having issues. The second unit is reporting it has no stack configuration.

@amessmann I would suggest you attend the webinars which will give you access to certain free hardware with 3 years of licensing if you are eligible. Much easier than potentially wasting money on eBay

@PhilipDAth The vendor we use for wireless is a leading wireless vendor. Their platform is reliable and they are always adding in new features. Its working, we are happy how it works why would I authorise a complete change over just to say I have a full stack? We replace our AP's on a 3 year cycle, our AP's are 4x4 MIMO with some 8x8 being installed later this year.

Following on from what Phil said has anything changed on the Radius server i.e. windows updates?

BlakeRichardson

@pstokes If you change the DEP setting you need to factory reset the device. The setting is pulled from the MDM at the initial time of configuration.

@Announcer if you re-enable AMP it should keep working, it glitches out every now and then.

BlakeRichardson

Our switches are being replaced with Meraki MS in batches, out gateways are being replaced with MX units. We are trialing MV cameras. The only thing we don't have is MR units as we are happy with our current wireless vendor and if it aint broke don't fix it.

Try turning off the advanced malware protection and then turn it back on again.

As we all know IT is becoming a lot more of a mobile industry so I thought I would throw the question out there what mobile app's do you have on your phone/tablet to make your job that little bit easier. I'll start the ball rolling 1. Meraki Dashboard App 2. Meraki Systems Manager App (required on all mobile devices) 3. PRTG monitoring 4. Ookla Speed Test 5. Teamviewer App 6. FileMaker Go 7. FreshDesk

Your account manager would be one of the first people to see the new pricing. If you don't know who your account manager is go to the "Help" menu in your dashboard, select "Get help" and scroll right to the bottom of that page.

BlakeRichardson

Neither do I. Either read the manual, Ask for help or turn the job down it as simple as that.

BlakeRichardson

@jm_peterson The overview section of systems manager will show a break down of OS versions, you could manually click on each version and apply a tag that way. You would have to constantly keep it up to date though.

BlakeRichardson

As Philip mentioned a hard reset won't fix your problem the device is registered to the organisation. Your only option is to provide proof of ownership to the support team which I hear is a long winded process. It would be faster to just buy a new device and start a new organisation

BlakeRichardson

Its not possible. You could create a switch template instead if you are that concerned.

BlakeRichardson

@NolanHerring Yes they didnt bother to read the instructions or look through the box so missed the mounting bracket. Expensive mistake on their part.

BlakeRichardson

Cable management is a good choice as well. I usually have no more than 2 devices stacked together before a cable management bar.

BlakeRichardson

Thank you @DonAnnett . Yes they have butchered it. Mine now looks like this and has a few extra holes in it.....

BlakeRichardson

Thanks @BrechtSchamp but thats the wrong model. I am specifically an image of the back of a MV72

BlakeRichardson

Random question but can someone please post a picture of the bottom of an MV72 camera. I have a feeling my installers might not have followed the instructions and butchered a new camera...... Google image search hasn't provided me any help. Thanks!

BlakeRichardson

Damn for me to have a chance means I would have to be up at 5am everymorning. Good luck everyone I'm a night owl not an early riser!

BlakeRichardson

@SteveGB from what I understand all App's are downloaded via the App store, the only difference is the way the licensing is applied. VPP is just a means to purchase licensing app do not actually download from VPP. Have you made any changes to the devices like update to OS version? If so updating the OS may have allowed the device to run the latest version of the app you are using.

BlakeRichardson

Well done @msosa nice picture. I don't think my North Korean picture was deemed suitable Congrats again!

BlakeRichardson

@VI-AHart how is the network interface on the VM setup i.e. it is bridging or using another method? Is your network actually using IPV6?
