Meraki

I use QuickBooks Online regularly and have to enter a code every time I log in from work and home office networks. It is how I expect it to work though. Strange that it does not ask from a different network for you. Maybe an error/bug on Intuit? Try dropping your public IP into this tool to see what results you get if you think you might be on a database listing you at some risk level: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx I would reach out to Intuit support as I don't see how Meraki could have anything to do with this.

Do you have SIG licensing on the Umbrella dashboard? Per the requirements listed here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Meraki_Umbrella_SDWAN_Connector/Deployment_Guide#Requirements

Mine doesn't look like that. I am using Safari and Chrome on MacOS. You? Maybe some browser setting trying for dark mode or something?

That's a tough call. Sometimes first release of new tech has some challenges and you may not want to be an early adopter. 10 years is really long in terms of wireless tech. It depends on your risk tolerance ultimately, I guess. You might do some research to see what chipset MR57 is using and setup a Google alert about it to stay on top of any progress or issues that unfold in the coming months. That could help inform a solid decision and I think I am going to do that now 😉

I’m also using Meraki full stack at home. Not familiar at all with Aruba Instant, but Meraki Go I have installed several and they are fine and dead simple, but I might feel limited with them as a network engineer. Ubiquiti I have had limited poor experiences with and don’t feel I would like to waste my time with the difficulty of updating, patching and managing them.

There are similar options baked into dashboard like using Meraki authentication of email and password and also things like sponsored guest logins, SMS and Google or Facebook authentication. What is the actual use case of needing just a single field of text and how many and how often do you want to rotate them? Maybe browse the splash page options on meraki.io to see if there is something more suitable pre-built?

“Is Meraki smart enough to 'unmask' the VPN from Russia pretending to be from US?”. No. Geoblocking is pretty basic and just blocks IP addresses well known to be assigned in Russia. if you are honestly concerned about attacks from Russia you should probably have the FBI or DHS (assuming you are in the US) or some federal agencies involved. Otherwise, just carry on with current best practices for business network security.

I found this 2 minute video that explains quite well. https://youtu.be/rwciKjvHFfY

Try adjusting your traffic shaping bandwidth up/down parameters to 10% or so less than the actual bandwidth you pay for. Inbound QOS from the internet is not really a possible thing, but the shaping values could help.

I think I remember that too. I think it was on the map of access points and had some options to show circles representing metrics like current and historic client counts. I don't think it was a coverage map though because that is not really possible without doing a passive site survey Ala Ekahau or Airmagnet, etc.

Wireless > Monitor > Location Heatmap If you don't see that it could be that you don't have 3 or more MRs?

Reseat power supplies and power cables? Do you get status lights? Were changes made prior to reboot or what was reason for reboot? Have you tried to bring them up separately?

configure > addressing & vlans You can select a VLAN and change the name there.

Yes but only if you are doing PDL per device licensing.

Here's the drop down. Is that what you are asking? For the OP's case I was suggesting they could put a hostname like www.espn.com or whatever they are interested in.

BrandonS · ‎Feb 9 2022

Agree with @DarrenOC and you could combine all those into one rule too. Do you have any policies applied to clients that might override it like maybe the machine you are testing from is whitelisted?

I haven't noticed anything like this particular to MR34. One organization I manage has over 100 MR34 across 4 networks that have been updated regularly and are at 28.6.2 now. I'm curious to hear back what you find out. I wonder if it could be POE related? Have you check POE budget and usage on the switch? Maybe something to do with "green ethernet/poe/EEE" that might try to put them in a power save mode?

There is this method https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Splash_Page/Using_a_Sign-on_Splash_Page_to_Restrict_Wireless_Access_by_MAC_address I’ve never used it or had a use case though. Is there more than this you are thinking of?

You may also want to review this: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Firewall_and_Traffic_Shaping/Connection_Monitoring_for_WAN_Failover I don't like these tests, in particular using public DNS servers as internet probes because everyone should know by now they are not meant for that and often don't respond to ICMP/pings, but otherwise are 100% fine..

You last point seems like strong evidence the trouble is on the Meraki side if the trouble stays with WAN port and does not follow the ISP connection. Did you make that clear to Meraki support? When you swapped circuits did you also swap the cable between the MX and ISP handoff? That would be the only other variable there that comes to mind.

That change is not immediate if you had an open network session to that URL from your test machine. Have you tried again and/or reset the network adapter from the machine you are testing from? Or tested from other machines?

Maybe try this custom pie chart under network-wide > configure > general:

In order to for Bonjour forwarding to work, the Bonjour client and server must have a routable path on layer 3 between them (i.e. they must be able to ping each other).

I've been pretty active on it and no problems. on n34 shard though. There may be a regional problem with n318.

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense.. How can something be hidden and broadcast at the same time? To configure a hidden SSID, use the following steps: Navigate to Wireless > Configure > SSID availability Select the SSID you would like to manage For Visibility, choose Hide this SSID Save your changes https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Other_Topics/Hidden_SSIDs
