Hi Guys Just wondering if anyone has ordered any new hardware recently and how did you find the wait times. I am about to order some more MS as well as a couple of MV units. I know in the past due to Covid the MV gear has taken much longer than normal to ship due to low stock.

BlakeRichardson

Is Safari allowed or blocked on the devices?

@Chris3 If your company doesn't have a policy on dealing with cyber security breaches then this is something that should be looked into. Ideally you shouldn't (especially in business) be using the same password for more than one service and where possible use MFA.

BlakeRichardson

Not fixing the issue in the MX64 IMHO is a big mistake given its still an actively sold product. To not have a security vunerability fixed in a product you are paying licensing for leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

BlakeRichardson

Cisco refer to this as Auto-QOS so the switch has a basic understanding of QOS but its NOT user configurable obviously

BlakeRichardson

@Rajni Yes you can use 3rd party SFP modules with Meraki equipment however if you are having technical issues Meraki will not provide support if they think the SFP module is causing the issue.

BlakeRichardson

@IT_Magician I would open a support ticket, the vendor asking you to use a different rotuer isn't really helpful unless they have past experience with issues with Meraki and this product.

BlakeRichardson

@kanoga88 Thanks for sharing the outcome, I have been using SM for years now and still make that mistake. Its easy to purchase a bundle of licenses and a few months later not realise you have used them all.

BlakeRichardson

@Allen2600 As long as the switch is loaded into the dashboard you can configure it regardless of it the switch is online or not, it will simply update its config when its powered on. Thats the beauty of Meraki!!! When I order Meraki gear I usually have my configurations set before the equipment is even in the country.

BlakeRichardson

Looks legit to me, we need a new tier for @PhilipDAth kind of a big deal doesn't sound right, it needs to be is a big deal or Boss level.

BlakeRichardson

As @PhilipDAth have your checked the license status in your dashboard? That is the error message displayed when you have run out of licenses. Remember you need to remove old devices out of Meraki to free up licenses, simply erasing the device will not free up the license.

BlakeRichardson

@KevinT It really depends on yoursetup, if you have staff that all have different apps I would go user licensing however if you just provide a base set of apps that are the same for all staff then device licensing is much easier. In regard to your issue with licensing getting stuck on old devices you can use the below button.

BlakeRichardson

Due to a recentish change Apple made devices have to be unlocked so the end user can confirm they want to update the device. It sort of defeats the purpose of having that feature.

BlakeRichardson

@jhumphrey I would assume the only option required would be "Allow Facetime" and possibly "Allow use of camera"

BlakeRichardson

Well done everyone and nice work @BrandonS

BlakeRichardson

Nice one, so seeing the world at 25mph and monitoring your garage at 25fps.

BlakeRichardson

@MilanVuletic Is the device enrolled in DEP or did you manually enrol it into SM? What if you try going to M.merkai.com and entering your unique code and seeing if that might work, i doubt it but its worth a shot. Perhaps delete it from the dashboard before you try that.

BlakeRichardson

We have MS425-32 with dual PSU running 12.33 and no issues.

BlakeRichardson

@UCcert agreed! A true wireless site survey takes hours of work and looks at a wide range of variables. Software is not always a reliable method more of a guide, real world testing with hardware is something you should do before you submit an order no matter what brand of AP you are choosing.

BlakeRichardson

I agree @Inderdeep however its the only method to achieve what the OP asked for. That is why I stated in bold about the flow on affect it will have.

BlakeRichardson

@vassallon Awesome, thanks for sharing. Surprised the SM team haven't shared this already.

BlakeRichardson

@labatt I am assuming you have more than one PSU in the switch, I would try removing one and seeing if the issue stops, if not try removing the other one and see if you can narrow it down to one PSU. As mentioned check your firmware version and I would open a support case as it could well be a hardwrae fault.

BlakeRichardson

I am seeing quite a lot of loading and time out issues on the community this morning. Is anyone else seeing these?

BlakeRichardson

@Wayner if you remove "All network admins" from the default receipents and manually add in the person you wish to be notified this will work HOWEVER this will affect any other devices you have as well so you would need to setup alerts for and MS, MR, SM, MV and MX you have.

BlakeRichardson

I agree with @cmr one camera in each corner should do the trick. I would be weary of using indoor rated cameras outside.
