@PhilipDAth wrote: Meraki should trust LetsEncrypt. Their CA is dual signed by someone else who I can't remember as well, so it really should be trusted. Maybe try using SSL tester to make sure it isn't something dumb like a weak hash for weak cipher is being used. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ From what I know of, Letsencrypt is trusted by all major Root CAs. So in principle it should be secure enough. On the other hand, I remember to have read somewhere that many don't see Letsencrypt as a safe free encryption body any more, due to its ease in creating SSL certificates. Before, you could trust that if someone uses HTTPS the website was regarded as safe/free of malicious software, because certificates weren't easy to get, and people trusted it. With Letsencrypt, it has become too easy for malicious entities to create websites, even using Letsencrypt.

@kYutobi wrote: @jdsilva I think you also need a CCNA equivalent or work experience for it. Who should attend? ECMS1 is recommended for Meraki operators interested in introductory-level technical training or in preparing for the Cisco Meraki Solutions Specialist certification. As it is a technical course, individuals should be CCNA-certified or have an equivalent level of technical expertise. We do not recommend that those who have already attended CMNO attend this training, as the content is the same. This is mainly to ensure that participants know about networking, know what a switch is, and so on. I'd say, after attending CMNO, that participants who don't know basic networking, will not benefit from the CMNO course. That being said, CCNA is not a requirement. Only a recommendation. I attended the CMNO with a colleague of mine (Solutions Architect in datacenter), and he struggled a bit in navigating the dashboard, and typing things in correctly....

No idea. Wouldn't be the first to reuse code. ;) But I find it an interesting idea. It's an easy way to provide networking in remote places, albeit an MX would be more suitable. Hopefully, if it's in scope, they would allow for it to be deployed directly via cellular connection. Unlike the current way, where you would have to connect it physically first, and then deploy with cellular. @BrechtSchamp wrote: Indeed there aren't. I wouldn't expect them to come either. Maybe they're just using the same template also used for MX?

So while checking up on the local status page on an AP, I decided to take a look at how the page is on an MS switch, and then I stumbled over this; Cellular Status. Are there a line of switches in scope, that contains 3G/4G(/5G) modems? Afaik, there are not any switches available now with modems..

You will need to remove the APs from the network first, before you can unclaim the devices from your organization. Choose the network you wish to remove the APs from, and click Wireless -> Access Points, and find the AP you wish to remove. Select the AP checkbox from the list, and click on Edit -> "Remove from network..." Afterward, you can continue to unclaim the device from the dashboard. If you wish to move the AP to a different network, within the same Organization, choose "Move to another network.." rather than "Remove [..]". @adixxx wrote: Hi, I am planning to move one of my AP to another network but it won't let me. I followed the steps how to do it but I am having error and can't do anything from here. https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Inventory_and_Devices/Using_the_Organization_Inventory Navigate to the Organization > Inventory page. Check the box for the device(s) to unclaim. Click Unclaim. The device(s) will disappear from the list.

Recently, I had an installation at a Hotel which required a VLAN specifically for Television. They wanted an IP net, where 3rd octet referred to floor, and 4th octet referred to room number. That ended up being a /21 network. Albeit, with only about 150 hosts.

If you have another network, you can check the delay No. I could not see the log entry at 13:30, untill 13:54. The entry at 14:00, did not appear until at 14:07. Another thing I'm curioust about is that I have difficulty in believing that I'm getting the same two " Source IP and/or VLAN mismatch" events every 30 minutes, precisely on the second, for the last month.

Is there a 20 minute delay in event logs? At 13:54, the log entry at 13:30 appeared. Even after refresh, as well as clicking Network Wide -> Event log, several times in between.

I've heard that creating vlans (broadcast domains) too big will result in traffic drowning in broadcasts due to things as ARP and such. But nothing citing when domains are too big. Whether stated by law or rule of thumb. Dave, suppose you could bring any insight into this? Or anyone else, for that matter?

I think about 30 minutes after I saw @jdsilva 's post, MX15.12 was loaded on my test MX. :D So far looking good. This is more or less the only "new" I've seen so far. Definitely going to look into it.

On the MX64, only LAN4 can be converted to WAN, and requires access to the Local Status Page, inorder to conver the port. https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Installation_Guides/MX64_Installation_Guide#Setting_up_secondary_WAN_interface_(dual_WAN)

The MX67C/MX68CW contains a 3G/4G modem which can be used for cellular failover (3rd WAN interface-ish). Otherwise, no. All MX'es support only 2 WAN interfaces. MX250 and up, have two dedicated ports. MX100 and below, has one dedicated port, and one shared, which can be converted.

It is whether or not you are utilizing IEEE802.1Q to tag frames. Leaving the VLAN ID field empty, you are not tagging the frames, but they are still using 802.1q trunking. https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Tools_and_Troubleshooting/Fundamentals_of_802.1Q_VLAN_Tagging

Every time I'm in a situation where I need to clear a DHCP lease on Meraki, I hit this button so hard... There is no way (that I know of) to clear a DHCP lease manually in Meraki. Best is to lower lease time, in the DHCP server, and wait for the leases to renew, to the shorter lease time.

Sometimes I see in Appliance Status -> Uplink I am hitting 125 MB of my 200 MB connection. Checking the total MB for the clients for the past 2 hours is not very helpful because I am seeing file server and database traffic to an from clients over the switches as well. I just want to see how much is going through the MX in the last few minutes and the break down of who is doing it. I would like to avoid having to download packet captures and counting the bytes if I can. Something I can do right in the interface would be great.

You can verify the DHCP stats, by clicking on Security & SD-WAN -> Monitor -> Appliance Status, and then going to DHCP tab.
