I'm trying to monitor a specific set of switchports across our network. All of them have the same tag (cameras), but are spread across ~300 switches and ~10,000 switchports. Of those 10,000 ports, I'm only interested in the 85 that match the tag.   In the old v0 API, I'm finding plenty of examples that would have worked, and ChatGPT is happy to write me a script that should have solved my problem in about 5 seconds. But it seems that, in the new v1 API, I can only query ports by switch, not by tag, so I'll need to return every switch, then every port, then filter out just the ports I need. Then, querying those ports to get their usage within a time period seems like an additional layer of issues in v1.   Is there some mechanism to do this that I should be seeing? If it used to be as simple as "https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/{network_id}/switchPorts/usage?timespan={six_hours_ago_unix}-{now_unix}&tag={tag}", I'm hoping that they gave us a new method when they took the old method away. ...

Hello, hoping someone knows how to do this, either in the Dashboard or with the API. I have 1300 Meraki APs spread across a few dozen buildings, hundreds of different rooms, hallways, attics, basements. I'm looking to properly balance the network, meaning redeploy unused or massively underused APs to high-density areas.   But to do that, I need good data on the usage of each AP, preferably by client count over a day. The summary report page only gives summary data for the top 50 devices, so I need a way to get the data for the other 1250 devices. Am I missing something obvious? ... View more

I think I might be misunderstanding something about how Meraki handles multicast. We have 4 scenarios, but only 3 work.   1. broken - two laptops in a client/server pair. the client says "_simlink._tcp.local" queries looking for its server, the server is constantly broadcasting its address. When the two are wired on vlan 10, it works perfectly. When the two are connected wirelessly through an MR42 to vlan 10, the traffic can't make it through, according to Wireshark. It looks like some apple bonjour traffic from other devices on vlan 10 is making it through, but not the traffic we're looking for   2. working - apple devices using the bonjour gateway. easy peasy, just not relevant above since we're not sending traffic to a different network.   3. working - video encoders and decoders using the IGMP querier settings in meraki, all within same vlan   4. working - video encoders and decoders using the PIM sparse mode through a nexus switch, to traverse vlans.   We're trying to figure out how to get the first scenario working, where we don't need to traverse vlan, it's not apple's bonjour, and as far as I'm aware, we don't need IGMP. Thanks in advance. ... View more
