Re: Z3 Throughput

I had two networks setup up at the time using 10.6.1.x/24 and 10.6.2.x/24. They were separate at that time because my old switches could not have vlans. I used the Z1 to allow the networks to communicate with each other and share the Internet. I had zero problems with clients being able to access the Internet and share resources. ... View more

I have a Z1 that I have been using since September of 2013. It originally had a throughput of only 50mbps, but now with firmware version mx 13.28. It now has 1Gbps uplink throughput. I managed two sites one using an MX 84 originally had uplink throughput of 320Mbps now has 500Mbps with mx 13.28. The site that has an MX 60 with mx 13.28 has only 100Mbps uplink throughput. I also saw a post on the Z3 with mx 14.21 has uplink throughput of 100Mbps. I don't understand why any of these models would not be allowed 1Gbps throughput. In today's world with faster Internet speeds becoming more economical, why don't all of these models have the ability of 1Gbps uplink throughput? Many installations do not need the high end firewalls, but they do need higher uplink bandwidth.   ... View more

I was just looking at my test lab that is using a Z1 it now has firmware mx 13.28 and now on the traffic shaping page its says 1Gbps. I know this is different. I just hadn't though of checking it. Here is a screenshot from my dashboard. As far as clients, in the Spring of 2014 we had a lightening strike at school and took out my SonicWALL. I was able to put this little Z1 in its place with two VLANs and run the entire school for three weeks without a hitch. Our Internet speed at that time was only 15Mbps/15mbps. I didn't have any problems with around 100 to 200 clients per day. Can anyone provide a screenshot from a Z3?       ... View more

Re: MX 84 DHCP Relay slow with on Non-Native VLAN Windows 2016

Well, I spoke to soon. It was a big mess. I ended up calling Meraki and they said the problem is the DHCP server offering NACKs to both VLAN clients for no apparent reason. His response was "I see NACKs everywhere.." Now I am back to the MX doing the DHCP. I do appreciate the responses. ... View more

I did lots of reading over the last few days and the main theme I discovered was interface on a trunk and use DHCP relay on non native VLANs. I decided to use my other server which is a better computer with an Intel NIC. Once I set DHCP relay on the MX84 it worked instantly. The issue had to be something with the NIC on the other machine. I will continue to test this setup over the weekend.and give hopefully one final post to make confirm this setup is working. ... View more

My set up is VLAN 10 Native and VLAN 20. The DHCP server is on VLAN 10 and both VLANs can communicate with each other. The only reason I created the VLANs was to add more addressing. I just turned off DHCP relay on VLAN 20 and now my event log says DHCP Problem no offers received vap 0, vlan 20. Any ideas? ... View more

If I am dealing with two VLANs doesn't the server need to be on a trunk port? ... View more

No VPN tunnel is being used. The server is onsite plugged into a Meraki ms220-8P switch and yes the Windows server is on a trunk port. I doubled check the trunk port this morning. ... View more

I just setup a Windows 2016 Standard Server running DHCP for our network of two VLANS native 10.6.1.x /24 and other 10.6.2.x/24 The DHCP server sets on the native VLAN and works perfect for all clients. I have set DHCP relay on the 10.6.2.x VLAN and pointed it to the DHCP server on the native VLAN. The issue I am having is very slow IP assignment to (up to five minutes or not at all on the Chromebooks)  Mac OS clients,  iOS clients,  and ChromeOS clients. I did a packet capture and saw the request for an IP address. Five minutes later it finally assigned an address, but it was different than the first one that was offered.This does not happen for Windows Clients. I tested one this morning and it had a fresh new IP even before I signed onto the computer. Any ideas? My network is very small so I could go back the way I had it and have the MX do the DHCP. I went through yesterday's DHCP server log and found it had issued 1790 NACK during a 24 hour period. All of these NACK relate to the 10.6.2.x/24 which is the VLAN having DHCP relayed by the MX 84. Thanks for reading. ... View more

I figured I would give an update on how this upgrade and renewal. It was actually very easy. The license renewal for everything was a single dashboard key. I chose renewal from the drop down and enter the key. It showed all of my devices and included the new MX84. Here is the process I used.   1. Turned off old MX80 2. Removed MX80 from network 3. Used the dashboard renewal license and added it to my network. 4. Claimed the new MX84 and added to my network. 5. Plugged in the new MX84 and had to configure the WAN port for PPPOE I just used the management port and went to http:\\setup.meraki.com 6. Once that information was in the MX84 went online downloaded some firmware rebooted and started working. 7. All I had to do was configure the LAN ports on the MX84. There are a lot more ports than the MX80 had. I even used the sfp port to directly connect our other site. Now both sites have direct connections to the MX84. ... View more

I am developing my plan here is my idea 1. Remove my old MX80 from my network 2. Claim my new MX84 with its new device license 3. Add the MX84 to my network then configure the WAN port. 4. Now the new MX84 should copy the old MX80's configuration. 5. Once it is up and running, claim my license renewals 6. Hopefully network is now happy again. If anyone has a better plan, please let me know. Thanks ... View more

I want to know the best method for adding a new MX84 with its new license and then also renewing all other devices. I want to make sure the old MX80 is out of the picture so it doesn't get the new MX84 license.   Thank you for your help. ... View more
