I think the floorpans only work with MRs?  Here is a snip of one building switch names I used that has multiple rooms per floor with switches.  Then on each switch page I put the actual room # in the notes.  The room number can also be found on a floor plan and on the actual door.  This was all installed 5 or so years ago so it is super helpful for a tech to find a switch without wandering through halls and trying various closets, etc 🙂   ...

With Meraki I never considered it much since they are already categorized by organization > network and there are places for the physical address with map, notes and even mounting photo.   That said, I sometimes use floor, room, switch # to match labels physically printed on them.   4th Floor IDF Switch 1, 4th Floor IDF Switch 2, etc.       ...

And are you a Cisco reseller and do you work in the CCW tool?  If so, you can order NFR (not for resale) gear for an incredibly low price to have some lab gear and play around with if you like.  You can also do a free 2 week trial, but then you have to send it back or be charged. ... View more

It sounds like three basic SKUs you are after if I understand correctly:   1. Choose the model(s) of MR you like. 2. Choose license term 1-10 years and include one license per MR. 3. Choose number of Systems Manager licenses required.    I encourage you to do Meraki Fit training if you are a reseller with a Cisco login: http://community.meraki.com/merakifit and/or watch some webinars/content on Meraki's YouTube channel to get a firm grasp of how it all works and fits together.   Best.     ...

You are a reseller, I guess?  You may want to start at https://salesconnect.cisco.com and read up on Meraki a bit.  BYOD is a pretty vague marketing term and does not correlate exactly with specific products or SKUs.  What exactly have you been asked to quote?   ... View more

Well, as of now I no longer have access.  Can one of you that are partners see if you can still access this through merakipartners.com?  I can't even figure out how to contact Cisco about it because the Meraki portal does not fit any category to open a partner support ticket under..   Thanks! ...

@DHAnderson Interesting, I suppose a coincidence?, but my own office went offline around midnight Pacific time and I was already planning to drive over there today to find out what happened.  It is the only Org of many dozens I saw go offline.  Unless this issue is causing me to not get alerts for all the rest.. ...

MV just reasonable not the answer only in certain use cases.   I get it, but try to find the upside.  No one expects you can control decisions like this made by the likes of Apple and Google, etc.  Technology is always changing and always will.  It is an opportunity to get more accurate data and for you to make more sales and learn new technology.  And all that while helping protect the privacy of individuals.  If your customer would rather have nothing after a move like this from Google and Apple then all you can do is show them the available options.   Best.     ...

Thanks for sharing.     Don't shoot the messenger, but- doesn't the MV32 have integrated wireless?  You should not need anything more than a POE injector to power it up and then use it's built in wireless. It needs to be configured once while wired, but then you can move it.   https://documentation.meraki.com/MV/Physical_Installation/MV32_Installation_Guide ... View more

Nothing is really technically different with the switch.  The difference is the business models between Cisco Meraki and TP-Link.     Meraki is "all or nothing".  You either pay for the operation, software patches/updates, security, 24x7 support and hardware replacement warranty or you get nothing.   If you didn't know or understand this when you purchased Meraki I can understand your frustration, but that is how it is. It is becoming a trend and others are moving this way too.     The justification/explanation is usually along the lines of keeping enough recurring revenue for the business to operate successfully and continue to provide security patches, support and hardware replacement while giving the end customer a quality product, piece of mind and ongoing support.  The converse would be TP-Link (or similar) that may have outdated software with known exploits that may never be patched and support that may not be available or responsive and no hardware replacement if it breaks. And maybe TP-Link can't sustain a business model with low margins and no recurring revenue so they go out of business or get sold to another company.     I think there will always be a place for both business models, but more movement towards recurring revenue is definitely a current trend in industry.         ...

That's about right.  I would just swap your 3b and 3c steps since you will need the IP information configured before it can connect to the cloud and continue. ... View more

I don't think any else said it explicitly, but the documentation should explain that you don't need to reconfigure everything.  When you remove and then add in the MX100 it will boot up, update firmware and pull configuration from the cloud.   Go over the documentation though because there are a couple caveats about how ports match up between different models and also if you need a static address or PPOE on your WAN interface that needs to be set manually and may require a reboot of any upstream gear like a modem or another router the ISP provides.   Remember to be patient too.  It can take 20 minutes or longer to come online the first time while updating firmware and rebooting sometimes more than once.   Good luck. ...

Interesting.  I would not expect an NMAP scan to cause a printer to print anything, but I suppose it is possible.  Do you have any port forwarding on your firewall to the printer or anywhere else that could even allow outside access into your network?  If not, I suppose it is possible someone inside the network was playing around and caused this unintentionally (or intentionally).   Also- this is not really the right forum for Meraki Go.  This is "regular" Meraki here.  Meraki Go has it's own community: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Meraki-Go-Community/ct-p/go   Best ...

I'd give that a very low, almost zero probability of any kind of attack.   I would dig into the printer settings and web GUI to see what you can find about that print job and look through logs, etc.  How certain are you that it isn't just a corrupt print job from one of your users?   ... View more

@SNSGS I don't think I can estimate and I suppose it will depend on each environment and which messages you choose to send, but I do have dozens of devices sending what seems to be a lot of messages for only $10/mo.  You can also filter out messages on the receiving end that will not count toward your quota.   Best. ...
