Hi, We are a library network and I advise our libraries to run a summary report on the public hotspot SSID monthly and have it emailed. They then just plug it into a spreadsheet for their annual ARIS report. We use a splash page to protect the library from liability for copyrighted materials being downloaded on the public wireless device. In the summary report the accurate number would be the devices granted access by actually accepting the splash page. The number of devices otherwise could be just devices connecting but not actually accepting the page and using the internet. Hope this helps! Anne CW MARS bark.cwmars.org

Done! Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately we can't do any cable troubleshooting because this site is closed due to the COVID-19 issue. I have tried upgrading the firmware to v.15.27 and opened a ticket with Meraki support but they said I have to check cables before any further troubleshooting can take place. Thanks, Anne

Thanks, I did try that before upgrading the firmware. It's funny that after the firmware upgrade one of the APs went to full power. All is left is to swap cables at this point. Thanks, Anne

Hi, I have two MR42 access points connected to the PoE ports of a Meraki MX68. They both were showing low power so I first thought I would upgrade the firmware of the MX68, this changed one of the APs to full power but the other one is still showing low power. I know I should check cables (though we installed new ones) since the MX has no way to test cables like the switches but due to the COVID-19 issue we cannot access the bldg or hardware. Any other thoughts as to what I can maybe do remotely to correct this power issue? Thanks, Anne

Dear Meraki, I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is that I can see what port a device is connected to and have a port description in a Meraki MS switch but cannot add a description or see in connected clients any port information on devices connected to MX ports!! This is frustrating at remote sites when a cable is moved and you have VLANs configured and no way to tell what port it's connected to??? Even just a mac address table identifying the port would be helpful in the MX's!! Ok. That's my Christmas wish ☃️ ☃️

Hi Everyone, We try and monitor the OS of the devices on our networks since we no longer support MS Windows 7 and are trying to get our users to upgrade. In checking the OS info we have found that the info listing on the network-wide clients in the MS120 switches usually states "other" whereas the MX security device states that it is "Windows 10". Why would these two devices communicating with each other interpret the same device differently? What's the point of the OS info in the MS120 if it just says "other"? Thanks, Anne

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to produce summary reports on different networks with MX devices within the same organization. I want to select just our guest SSID for the report. I have this ability when I run summary reports on organizations with external MR devices but when I select a location using a MX device with an internal wireless hotspot (like MX67W & MX68W) I cannot select a certain SSID it only has ALL SSIDS selected? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anne

A bit about yourself & your work I am part of the largest library network in Massachusetts - CW MARS, I help support a network of 150+ library locations. Your experience with Cisco Meraki We have been slowly migrating our library sites to all Cisco Meraki MX, MR and MS products. A fun fact about yourself I've been working in IT for about 25+ years and am originally from California but traded in the sunshine for nice cold winters in Massachusetts!!
