Gonna try to reply to everyone here haha   Phill -  Thanks for the detailed alternatives! I'll definitely take a look into those and compare them with the discount I get for being a Cisco employee.   Blake - Yes, I have several VM's that have lots of traffic running to them. I wanted to make sure I wasn't bottle necked 🙂   Ubersee -  Considering my job is mostly dealing with CLI, I doubt I'll ever stop using it. Unless, I start getting into to ACI. Also most Cisco boxes are complicated to setup when it comes to IPTV from a service provider, at least it was for me when I had AT&T Uverse. My work around was just to include the IPTV boxes into the native VLAN 1 and they worked fine. However, now I use Playstation Vue which all of my TV's go through a separate VLAN (WiFi for my Firesticks and Wired for my NVIDIA Sheild TV). Everything is working perfectly now and I would assume they would work after deploying the MX device, so long as I get the routes to where they need to go.   Thanks again for all you guys help. Glad to see my topic was very interesting to you guys and you took the time to write responses that were very helpful!   Cheers!   Marcus ... View more

Sorry for the late response I went out of town this week and it was fixed as of when I left. No sooner did I get to my destination did my Fiance call and say the internet was down again. When in reality it was just the WiFi.   To answer your question right now I have it in access mode and accessing the VLAN I want my wireless clients to be apart of. There shouldn't be any other VLAN traffic on the link. Should I try to put it in trunk and only allow the VLAN I am intending to use across it?   Thanks! ... View more

I have not done any packet captures as it is random and I dont really know what I would be looking for. As far as the VLANs are concerned, yes I am using VLANs and have an SVI on my switch. I think have an access port connected to my Meraki device connecting it to the VLAN.     ... View more
