You should be able to retain your CCO account. I've had the same one for almost 20 years now, I just change what company I'm associated to.    Also, I hope a CONGRATS! is in order for the new job 🙂 ... View more

@KarstenI Not planned per se I don't think, but more a side effect of the way NAT was implemented. @GiacomoS commented on this solution in this post:   https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/HairPin-Nat-Loop-back-NAT/m-p/24563/highlight/true#M5921 ... View more

It's possible, but not in the way you think. Please see this thread:   https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/HairPin-Nat-Loop-back-NAT/m-p/24563/highlight/true#M5921     ... View more

Sorry, maybe I misunderstand, but are you just trying to do a full tunnel from the spoke to the hub? You can do that in the site to site VPN settings:     You cannot put a default route with a next hop reached via a LAN port. That will break the MX completely as it interferes with the WAN port reaching the cloud. If the WAN port can't reach the cloud then the MX doesn't forward traffic. It will also interfere with AutoVPN and establishing tunnels.    The above isn't true and I misspoke.   ... View more

I'd suggest actually doing the opposite. Set the HQ as the primary DNS server, and the OpenDNS as the secondary.    I assume the HQ DNS is configured to use OpenDNS itself for zones it's not authoritative on?     ... View more

Hey @Scott_Sassin,   You just hit on a use case that is not truly supported by the MX. In order to do this you'd have to create either individual port forwards, or 1:1/1:Many NAT entries for every inside host... Or more likely a combination of all three of these. None of those are good options for you, or going to actually be manageable. Sorry 😞 ... View more

Good stuff!    Just remember that when you start dealing with networks over 1000 clients you're going to have to revisit this and figure out how to fetch the 'next' page to get the remaining clients. The next URL is returned in the headers of your first request, so you have to get that URL, and then make a GET to it. The next URL will be populated as long as there are more clients to be returned. When you've got them all the next URL value will be NULL.     ... View more

If I was to guess it's because you're either not setting the 'perPage' value to something greater than 10 (default is 10), or you're not fetching the 'links.next.url' returned in the headers of the first (and subsequent) requests you're making.      ... View more

@Mikeylad I'm not following why you want to clone a network at all. Do you have a specific reason why you want to clone? I don't agree with your statement that the cloning method is the best way. How did you arrive at that conclusion?   That said, perhaps an explanation of combined networks will help clear this up?    Combined networks are actually just a little bit of sleight of hand on Meraki's part. A combined network is actually just a container that has the actual device type specific networks inside. So if you have a combined network with MX, MR, and MS, you really still have three networks that are being shown to you as a single. This is why you can split them and combine them any time you want.    If you clone your combined network, and add a new MX to that network, your original network is still there and functioning as it always would. If you move devices between networks then yes, there is a brief period of time where technically the devices do not have a config. There's a "move to new network" action you can do, and in that case the time the device doesn't have a config is essentially nil, however if you have any device specific configs (radio settings on the AP's for example) then you need to set those again in the new network as they do not clone over.    None of this is the simplest way though. I would suggest you take another look at the KB I linked to, and check out Method 1 again (Quick Swap). If all you need to do is replace the MX then simply removing the old one followed by adding the new one to the existing network is far and away the simplest method.  ... View more

No. You will need some sort of middleware no matter what. The output format of Meraki webhooks is not compatible with MS Teams and must be modified to match. Neither system offers the functionality needed to make this format change to the data on the fly, so you need a third system.  ... View more

@LuigiJuve wrote: jdsilva, so what do you mean my 15 installations are not working please explain.. Sorry, I think I didn't make that statement very well. I was trying to say that yes, your deployments are probably working just fine under normal network conditions. But, based on your comments around the heatbeat VLAN I do not believe they are working the way you think they are working. If you believe that you have a dedicated VLAN that's being used purely for heartbeats then you are operating under an incorrect assumption, and you don't fully understand how your network is operating. Again, I'm not trying to be harsh, I'm simply trying to point out an incorrect assumption and help you understand the way Warm Spare actually works 🙂       @PhilipDAth wrote:   My understanding is if VRRP fails on any VLAN the entire unit fails over.  I don't think this is true, and the way I read the doc you linked to doesn't support that.    Because the MX uses a single VIrtual Router with multiple Virtual IP's it can't actually detect a failure of a single VLAN. The heartbeat sent on each VLAN is identical to the heartbeat sent on every other VLAN. The only thing that the MX VRRP process is able to detect is whether it received a heartbeat at all within the dead time. As long as any heartbeat reaches the standby it will not assume the Master role. It must have a complete and total loss of all heartbeats on all VLANs to make the transition.  ... View more
