I noticed it was gone, too. Hopefully they bring it back along with the ability to manage those ports more like the switch ports.

Have you upgraded to the beta firmware for your MX? You do need to be on the 15.x firmware for this option to be available.

Have you checked your MTU? We've had problems with Verizon cradlepoints and cellular modems connected to our Meraki MX's and had to have support adjust the MTU setting down a bit to get a smooth connection.

had that recently on many new networks, but not all... It's frustrating when talking to support about it, they seem to not want to really help track down what is being blocked, and once the warning goes away with no other changes, they don't have an explanation why.

Yes, it can be set up to default to WAN1 and fail-over to the secondary connection. In the SD-WAN and Traffic Shaping configuration page of the MX you would set your Primary Uplink to WAN1 and set Load balancing to Disabled.

Yeah, that's how I found out I have a new one again, was going to look up his phone number to call and discuss some upgrades we need to do...

Anyone else having problems with the revolving door that is Meraki Sales reps? We had a good one for multiple years, then right as we start ramping up and going full stack, they started changing. I believe we've had 4 different reps now, 2 of which I've never talked to because I don't know their phone number to call and ask questions. It wouldn't be so bad, but I hate having to re-explain our setup and direction we are going every time. I guess I'm just curious if this is another of life's curses for living in rural America or if everyone is feeling this pain.

I used to use it all the time, but now, like you said, it is missing a bunch of features, and a lot of the data doesn't seem to be accurate. For example, I went to check the status after a firmware update, rather than dig my laptop out, and found the VPN status showing down on most of the MXs I have. Mild heart attack later, I found everything was fine, but the app doesn't work to report that anymore.

Good thing we don't have a staff review today, my boss would have a heart attack seeing this: Good to know Meraki is already looking into it.

We've been using Microhard cellular modems after moving away from Cradlepoint. They are a Canadian company but have various regional offerings. We use the IPn4Gii model across different IoT projects and conntinued using them as our secondary WAN connection and most locations.

I've generally found creating a case through the portal first, then calling in with an existing ticket helps with my hold times, not sure if just by chance, or if since it is an existing case it gets higher priority. I did sit on hold for 45 minutes recently as noted here, was the longest I've ever had to wait, and of course, the flaky network issue I needed help with had long since passed.

This is the longest I've ever been on hold waiting to talk to someone, but they really need to get a longer loop! It is seriously 15 seconds long of the same little beat. And it's not even cut very well. I can hear really bad recordings from my youth playing with track loops to write songs. PS. I've been so distracted by it trying to post this, it's played through another 10 times! Make it stop!

I would probably just submit it in a ticket, include the URL and what is wrong. Will likely get assigned to whoever need to see it.

Most of my networks got this scheduled as well. Odd since their website still lists this as RC. Time to reschedule them back a month and see.

We like it when looking at the 'all networks' map it shows them in accurate geographic locations. I suppose it depends on how many devices you have and how spread out they will be. We span over 350 miles between our farthest points, so it is helpful to have them mapped out for us.

@SoCalRacer I don't think they have published any new classes yet this morning. I'm refreshing pages to see, but am assuming since they are based in San Francisco area, and its only 7:15AM, may not be updated for a while.

Unless their documentation is out of date, which is possible, I don't think you can change the default values for Auto-channel on the 2.4GHz radios. Here is what I found: Autochannel on 2.4 GHz only uses channels 1, 6 and 11. Administrators can remove only one of the three channels. If non-standard channels need to be used manual overrides can be done from the Overview page. https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Radio_Settings/RF_Profiles

I got turned down due to space for this last session, so now have a calendar reminder on the 21st to start checking the registration page for when they open registration for the next session. I don't know how many people they are taking per class, but last time I tried to register Wednesday afternoon and didn't get in.

It's unfortunate that this app hasn't been shown any love lately. It could be so useful, but always comes up short right now. I don't mind using the mobile page within a browser on my iPad, but getting the app updated would be so much nicer.

I posed the question of what to do with these at another community. Suggestions ranged from cable bags/parts bags to dice bags and shoe fresheners. So far I just have a big stack of them in a box...

hi all! A bit about yourself & your work I am a network adminstrator for an ag company, covering around 70 small towns in Iowa. Your experience with Cisco Meraki My experience with Meraki goes back about 7 years, pre-Cisco! I've had small MR12 deployments, worked for a partner with multiple mixed deployments, and now slowly starting to push Meraki across many of our sites. A fun fact about yourself when not at work or spending time with my family, I am a musician, playing bass mostly right now in a couple bands Looking forward to what this community has to offer!
