Yes I have just seen this across many clients. when I look up hash on virus total it says item not found. Support must be getting smashed as they are not answering.... Update: Got through to support and they are investigating but that this point they think a false positive. They are going to update the banner in security center once they know

Loved the Christmas Tree made from meraki gear !

The issue was at Microsoft End. Needed to open a support case and get them to trace the calls.

My understanding was the prices were adjusted so that when you bought both the price was still the same as it was originally. So there should not be additional expense. I haven’t bought one lately so I can’t verify that is true. Prices going up everywhere you may not notice !

Thank you for the clarification. White is much nicer color. I have some under some air conditioners and the green looks terrible against the white wall. Another Question when I am at a customer site how can I tell if they have been replaced by looking at them, if they are both white now ?? is there some other tell tale sign ??

Can you buy JUST the magnet part for the Door sensor. Customer has broken the magnet side of the sensor and needs a new one Charles

CharlieCrackle · ‎07-16-2022

Can some one please conform that has just bought a new Leak Sensor cable that they received the MA-CBL-LEAK-1 and not the MA-CBL-LEAK-1A ?? and was it White or Green ???

Yes I was referring to external address.

Just and update the latest Firmware 17.8 has fixed the issue of the IPV6 just stopping after a while when the IPV6 Prefixes would just disappear from the "IPv6 Prefixes" Tab for Manually Assigned IPv6 Addresses. Also the allow incoming IPV6 ICMP firewall rule I had just started working. I removed the Secondary MX and all seems much more stable and the dash board now displays the status correctly (all the fields line up correctly on the Uplink Tab with secondary removed) Think I will leave this disabled till the IPV6 external virtual ip address support is there. Still have 1 unresolved issue and that is how do the clients behind the meraki on IPV6 get the DNS servers ? Is the Mx advertising any IPV6 servers. My switches have IPV6 address on AUTO but are not getting IPV6 DNS. is the ONLY way to get DNS to have STATIC IPv6 Address and STATIC IPv6 DNS servers ?? (latest firmware also fixed the bug that the IPV6 interface is on the correct VLAN and not VLAN 1. Yay !) When testing IPv6 some of the testing sites say IPV6 relies on some ICMP IPv6 messages. Any IPV6 Experts out there is this best practice ??? Should I be leaving a firewall rule to outside to allow ICMPv6 traffic any to xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:dd:: ??

What is interface WAN3 on WAN Health Page (Ready but Down) I only have 1 Internet interface running on the Internet Port with the WAN 2 not setup and 320U in USB Slot for 4G backup What is this WAN3 interface ???

This is a great idea stops waste. well done

I got this update from support the (MA-CBL-LEAK-1) I received is one that has the issue fixed and the case closed automatically This is very very confusing.. So all new cables that have the defect fixed have the same part number as the cables that have the defect. The colour is exactly the same as the ones that have the defect. When I look at them side by side I can not see any difference between them. I admit the White cable looks so much better than the green one and looks very ugly under the white aircon unit it protects. I prefer the white cable but would have liked to have seen something on the cable that indicates that this is the 1A cable even a green dot on the plug. If Meraki know exactly all the customer that received the faulty leak cables why is this not listed in the Help-> hardware replacements menu for the people effected ? I have sold Leak Detectors to other customers and have NO idea if they have faulty cables to. I can not look at the existing cables and know by colour. I cannot look in the dash board and know they were part of the recall. Am I missing something here ?? What colour cables have others been getting as part of the recall I would be interested to know.

CharlieCrackle · ‎06-14-2022

I spend a a lot of time submitting feedback but now I am wondering if you even get it. on the old dash board you get and empty dialog box with an OK.. On the new dashboard you get submitting feedback but no confirmation... and the screen never returns....... on the old dashboard you get blank dialogue... I just tried in chrome and you get positive feedback the feedback was submitted.

CharlieCrackle · ‎06-13-2022

I have 3 x Leak sensors White cables. (MA-CBL-LEAK-1) these have been recalled and replaced with 2 x Green cables (MA-CBL-LEAK-1A) and 1 x White cables (MA-CBL-LEAK-1) I assumed the green cable is the newer model cable and the White was the older one that was recalled ??? Was I sent one more faulty cable how could I know ??? Charles

CharlieCrackle · ‎04-28-2022

the issue is that I am splitting the ISP supplied address range between inside and outside for for a while then stops.

CharlieCrackle · ‎04-28-2022

Have been doing lots of wishing and my wish just came true !!!!! You can now de-warp in the IOS app !!! Yipiee.. Just sent txt messages to clients that have waiting for this feature... It works great. Thank you for listening..

CharlieCrackle · ‎04-26-2022

Confirmed by Meraki Support not supported 😢

CharlieCrackle · ‎04-26-2022

I logged this case with support and so far have no info to help me move forward only answer so far is HA is supported if it is where do you put the virtual IP V6 address ??? Is there no Meraki IP V6 experts on forum ?? support are not helpful so far.

Have a Central MX with 30 Spoke Z3 with people working from home. with Auto SDWAN One internet application requires the source IP to be specific (the outside IP of the MX) If we set the Z3 to have default route to central MX then all works fine except all internet traffic from all Z3 goes via the Central MX killing the internet performance with Office 365 traffic. Would like to turn off the default route so the Z3 use local internet and then add a single static route to all Z3 for single ip address (eg 203.44.X,Y) and send this via the SDWAN. There does not seem any way to do this from Z3.. I tried adding a static route at the MX and ticking include in VPN the advertisement works and all the Z3 see it The issue is you can not add a static route and point to the internet ??? even putting the WAN gateway IP as the next hop is accepted but the packet is dropped by the MX as it expects the packet to go out the LAN not the WAN. Any one got a way I can achieve my end result of having a single IP address routed via the Central MX and out to the internet. ?? Could this be done with a SDWAN Policy in traffic shaping but the Z3 does not have this option.

I am trying to add IPV6 to and existing network. The network has 2 MX64 in hot standby. Q1: Is Hot standby supported in IPv6 ? (does not seem to be support for static shared address) (my current static route points to primary [see picture]) Because in hot standby I need to use 1 subnet of /64 on the outside between MX64 and the rest on the internal vlans (see picture) I have setup static addressing on the WAN and this is working I have setup static addressing on the LAN and this is working. Q2 I do not understand how to get an IPV6 DNS server to the clients on LAN, ipv6 is working buy they are using IPV4 for DNS Where do you set the DNS server they get ?? I added xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:dd/48 to the IPv6 prefixes as I don't have any AUTO vlans (or should I be adding multiple /64 prefixes for every vlan ?? ) In the VLAN Assignments all the VLAN show with the correct Subnet prefix and the status is active IPv6 works. but I then found the next day the VLAN Assignments tables went to expiring soon and then empty and IPv6 was not working.. Q3 Am I doing it totally wrong ???? I configured the Cisco router instead to be a IPV6 dhcp server and setup Prefix pool ipv6 local pool MERAKI_POOL xxxx:yyyyy:zzzz::/40 56 ipv6 dhcp pool MY_V6 prefix-delegation pool MERAKI_POOL dns-server xxxx:yyyy:101::1 dns-server xxxx:yyyy:101::2 domain-name xxx.com.au and then put all all meraki IPv6 settings on auto. both mx64 got IP address xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:ddff:: and the IPv6 prefix got the address from auto it then gave xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:dd01: /dd:02 / dd:03 to each vlan. this worked. But VLan60 had the wrong IPv6 address and the static route required in router to point to pri MX would fail if the MX got a different address. Either I can not find it or the IPv6 configuration for meraki is hard to find. I would love some insight from the IPv6 experts...... Q4) When testing IPv6 some of the testing sites say IPV6 relies on some ICMP IPv6 messages. Is this best practice ??? should I be adding a firewall rule to outside to allow ICMPv6 traffic any to xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:dd:: ??

Currently on hold for 1 hour 10 min and still not through for a meraki forced firmware upgrade that has broken auto-vpn. Support has to be better that this for a cloud product.

I have seen this before. in my case it was channel utilization and co-channel interference. It could be Channel utilization especially if they are 2.4Ghz it might be high causing a lot of retries and using more battery power. you need to measure the AP signal strength at the device and make sure it has enough for the min data rate and MCS rate it is connected at. co-channel interference from other devices the tenants have causing excessive re transmits. This also assumes the WiFi was designed to work at MIN data rate of 24Mbps these higher modulations require more power to transmit and decode but are quicker to transmit if no retries. IoT devices generally are LOW speed low, bandwidth and like low MCS rates as the radios are poor compared with a PC. you might want to have a separate SSID just for these devices with lower data rates if the WiFi was not designed for 24Mbps on 2.4Ghz. At these rates I could guarantee co-channel interference on 2.4hz with all the AP so close to support these rates and with only 3 non overlapping channels

Liking the new wi-fi health check, but it does need more work. I have 1 SSID per band so this should be excellent ! But reported as 2 SSID and rated as poor. 😢 I want to be rated against best practices not industry average !

Looks like I have been using some old partner number for the past 5 years the correct number in AUS is +61 2 8607 8968

CharlieCrackle · ‎01-23-2022

Today I can not even get through from Australia. You ring 02 83979191 and you get a message that the extension is not valid.
