Why does it sound like you created a single Org for all your customers and then put their respective network(s) under that single org? That is not best practice. I mean there might be a use case where it might make sense to do so but they as super rare and the Cons outweigh the Pros.   Best practice for an MSP/Consultant is 1 Org for EACH customer with their respective network(s) under their Org. You then add you admin users email to each ORG/NETWORK(S) so they can see the Orgs and its networks under your MSP dashboard. ... View more

Yes that is right. Since Meraki MX do not have a MGMT vlan / interface / vrf they rely on the now Highest Vlan ID to source all sort of trafic ( Syslog , RADIUS and more ). We also had to design our network with these specific requirements. ... View more

To my knowledge this is how Catalyst has always worked - it is how it's designed, so there's no plan to change it, that I'm aware of.   As devices (particularly APs) have started to consume more, this may indeed be why you've not come across it before.    I can't comment to the (slightly cynical..?) thought you've had as to the 'why' (I'm not in product development) - though I can see why it would have occurred to you 😁.   My guess would be that it is a more 'safety first' approach;  if you power a device up, but maybe have it stop working properly at some ill-defined point in the future, when it needs to draw more, that could have serious ramifications.   It could well be better to power it up knowing you can always provide what it's told you it might require?   And for the admin to know right from the outset that they need to PoE budget more accurately?   I can see it's an eyebrow-raiser though, so my apologies for that - it is why I mentioned it here though... ...

Even with switching things were sometimes a little complex;   while they're now End of Sale, the premium access MS350s and MS355s, off the top of my head, did come with both PSUs - no additional line items needed.  Currently shipping switches which support dual PSUs now all ship with just one, to my knowledge - if you want a second you need to include it as an extra line item.   (NB. customers looking at 9300/9300X should always also think about StackPower in conjunction with additional PSUs) BUT it always pays to check the documentation, I'd say.  That's where, in the case of MX, I think we can do better - particularly for 250 and 450.   There are documents for all which do say you get both PSUs, but I think we could be more crystal clear & consistent in more places, considering that we have a generic MX datasheet (the one I shared yesterday) but also MX95/105,  MX250 and MX450 individual datasheets - and we have Installation Guides for each too.   When I get chance I'll ask for updates to these, to provide more clarity. Not sure I can help with what has happened with previous orders / deliveries of yours @PhilipDAth - but MX105 / MX250 and MX450 should indeed ship with both PSUs and, to my knowledge, this has always been the case. ...

Just in case you weren't aware;  this is a public Community, rather than the official Meraki support service (these are threads rather than cases - they don't really get closed). If you need assistance with your Meraki solutions you are generally entitled to help from Meraki Support, as a part of your Meraki licensing.   Calling Meraki on the telephne generally provides the quickest/best help.     Contact details are available from within the Dashboard, via ?

While the documentation indicates there may be minimal downtime, in my experience Org Splits do not incur downtime. The only thing that would be down when performing a split is VPN between the old org and the new (if that's something you still need) since you'd have to recreate it as third party vpns.  You will have way more downtime and way more work doing things manually. The time waiting to import the devices into the new org as inventory updates between shards can be 10-20 minutes in my experience plus whatever time you need to actually program things once they are brought over. ...

Just one other thought, reading this again. MG is not involved in setting up secure tunnels between locations - if that's what you need.   That would be an MX (or a vMX) to do that.   For best functionality you'd have an MX (or a vMX) at the other end too, but it could in principle be IPSec device;   either another vendor's device, a compliant cloud service (SSE / SASE) or an MX / vMX that resides in a different Dashboard Organization. ...

I think what you're looking for is Organization > Summary report.   Select Entire Organization, under NETWORK(S)   then the time frame you want, next to Summary Report, right at the top - then look at the Client stats on the RHS.  You can export to Excel if you wish, top right. If you need more granular than that, I think you'll need to use the API.   If you don't want all Networks, but still more than one, you will need to add a Tag to all the required ones, and filter by that ...

The IOS also gave it away. After trying to integrate some C9300 meraki switche, i have come to relise Meraki for meraki and catalyst for CC except some cases where there is no CC and user want to mange via cloud (meraki dashboard).

Indeed my network of C9300L and a pair of MS220-8Ps all show PoE information only.  One thing I noted is that on the MS320-8P a CW9163E requests a PoE budget of 30W, whereas on the C9300L it only asks for 25.5W.  I'm guessing that this is an af Vs bt difference. ... View more
