“Oh, I guess sometimes it is the network’s fault” at the end 😂 😂

That sounds pretty odd. Did you check your change log to make sure someone else didn't edit the whitelist?

I have had CCNA certification 3 times over the years and currently expired. I also did some CCNP boot camps but did not sit for exams. These certifications are not important to me anymore for various reasons.

Wait, did Cisco really have #CloudLivesMatter or that is your idea?

Brandon here to also say, yes. This is, as long as the staff and students use different domains like abcStudents.edu and abcStaff.edu. Here is what the configuration page looks like: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Splash_Page/Google_Sign-In @CptnCrnch is your username a nod to the 2600hz whistle?

I’m going to guess your wireless SSID is configured for guest access which does not allow access to the wired network at default. if you use bridged mode it should work for you.

I used the built in Google credential option for wireless access at a couple schools. I am not sure if that is different than what you are describing, but basically all students and staff can join wireless using their Google/GSuite credentials. The domain could be limited like publicschool123.com to prevent just anyone with a Gmail account gaining access. As for the one year renewal requirement I am not sure you can control that. I would think Google forces reauthenication at some interval. Maybe 30 days, for example.

Oh? Tell us more @MerakiDave Is there any documentation about this available? Thanks!

Well, everything is denied inbound by default. You just open up port forwarding or static NAT when/if needed. What specifically are you wanting to do?

I read this quickly so may be off here, but you are aware 172.60.4.189 is not an internal/private/RFC1918 IP address, right?

Yes. Call support. All MX have lifetime hardware warranty. https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Other_Topics/Returns_(RMAs)%2C_Warranties_and_End-of-Life_Information

I am curious what evidence you have of this? Packet captures? NTP is a protocol well known to be abused and vulnerable to various attacks, but I am skeptical these requests are actually coming from the switches. More likely a compromised host behind the switches, I would guess.

@DHAnderson I have a case 05027890 too. I am going to try uninstalling the app for a few days. I only have one customer using this so maybe don't really need the app installed at all..

BrandonS · ‎03-20-2020

I have updated the iOS app and also uninstalled and installed again. I just got another usage alert. Only via email and not push notification.

Which do you want first, the bad news or the bad news? You can't prioritize traffic over the general internet and certainly not from home offices with residential internet. The whole internet is being stressed right now and I would try to find other solutions besides VPN wherever possible. For example, file sharing through Dropbox or similar and screen share with VNC, etc. Client VPN is just going to work a little worse than any other type of connection because of the encryption overhead and resources it takes on the firewall and client machine.

I am having this problem too. I am getting switch usage alert emails even though they are turned off. Case 05027890

BrandonS · ‎03-13-2020

Is it possible to configure a static, public IP on the WAN interface? I don't see a way..

BrandonS · ‎03-10-2020

Power will be fine, but 8 MR's on an 8 port switch means you need to use one of the SFP ports for uplink.

BrandonS · ‎03-05-2020

New to me. I see some cool stuff built into the client page too.

BrandonS · ‎02-28-2020

I just replied to your post on the Meraki subreddit, but will share here too- Just a guess, but the symptoms sound like it could be a duplex mismatch between the printer NIC and switch port. Have you tried checking that?

The service VLAN is just one that your devices offering the service are on.

@Thygesen You can DM me your email address and I will add you to the WebEx team. There are just a few of us and not too active yet, but the more the merrier. Please include your company name and/or link to your company in the Cisco Partner finder to confirm you are a partner.

BrandonS · ‎01-30-2020

Yes you can. You are forced to assign an IP but do not have to use it or enable DHCP on the VLAN. If I understand correctly you might want to just make a new VLAN and then assign it to a couple of ports set to access mode. You could create a 2 or 3 port switch this way with nothing routing through the MX assuming you don’t route anything to the VLAN IP.

BrandonS · ‎01-28-2020

Sorry to revive this old thread, but does anyone have a clear understanding or link to explain the sizing limitations? Example- a client has an MX250, but just a 100Mbps WAN connection. They would be fine with the small license? The data sheet has recommendations, but I want to understand what would be the pros/cons of the previous example. Thanks

What kind of phone? if android maybe this helps: https://m.facebook.com/help/messenger-app/129036164155615?helpref=hc_fnav
