Cracked the 500-220 exam and couldn’t be more excited! Big shoutout to (Pass4sureclub) their prep material was spot-on and made all the difference. The practice questions mirrored the real exam closely, making it easier to walk in with confidence. If you're aiming for this certification, their resources are definitely worth it. Grateful for the support that helped turn hard work into results! ... View more

Default everywhere. A bit over 'over-spec', good design and getting rid of traditional VOIP goes a long way to making everyone's life just a little easier 😆 ... View more

It is co-termination so from what was stated here the licenses started when the order was shipped. I assume I might as well add the AP's by the order number as it looks to be the best or quickest way. We had a heat map done by the company before we ordered the switches and AP's but I want to do it myself and get all the equipment named and into my inventory. ... View more

I honestly kind of wish the industry as a whole would get rid of L2TP client VPN. It seems to be this half-supported technology that some companies have phased out and others have left but don't really pay too much attention to. ^ Not just speaking of Meraki on this on - I'm finding other vendors have unofficially given up on it. ...

Currently, for a use-case of creating new organizations - API keys would make more sense. Configuration changes, compliance, monitoring - these can be achieved with OAuth. As long as the OAuth refresh token is used at least once every 90 days - the integration will last indefinitely (unless an admin revokes it). https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/oauth-overview/ ...

The uplinks are allways monitored by the connection monitor. Both uplinks are monitored continously. If the primary uplink fails, the MX switches to the secondary uplink. In case of loadbalancing, the failed uplink is not used any more. Failback will be delayed by 15 seconds to deal with flapping links. Maybe your specific conditions let the MX not recognize the bad link. You can buy the SD-WAN Plus license and configure performance classes to make the uplink decisions (Security & SD-WAN > Configure > SD-WAN & Traffic Shaping). Notice: Without SD-WAN Plus license these performance classes can only be used with Auto VPN traffic, not with internet traffic. ... View more

I am Cisco instructor, teaching the ECMS (besides other courses). I do not know the current question pool. But from my experience with Cisco exams, you will always see questions which are not covered in the course. You should have some pracitcal experience before taking the exam. This is not only the case for the ECMS, but generally applies to all Cisco exams. You can find some hints for preparing the exam in the learningnetwork: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/meraki-solutions One additional point regarding the ECMS: Parts of the content is not included in the student guide. The instructor shows many things using a demo environment. There are no slides for this content. It is not easy for you as student to review this content. ... View more

This is correct. An AP will work in mesh mode, if it has no IP address on it's LAN interface. So one AP has to work as "regular" AP, it will be the gateway. The other AP, just powered up, will recognize that it has no IP address. Then it will connect wireless to a gateway AP. This needs no further configurations, this behavior is programmed in firmware. There is a setting in Network-wide, there you can activate or deactivate meshing. Of course, it must be activated. This is default. The APs will send a hidden SSID for meshing. ... View more

Sorry, I did not do something like this via API. I think the API is a good thing for doing the same job a lot of times. but of course, if setting up the API requests is more time consuming than doing it manually, it is better to do it manually. ... View more
