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 might just be me, who is unable to google it. But when will the Meraki Documentation be updated with the new MX Beta feature on NAT Exceptions?

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.

Huh... That's odd... I'm getting the same error... I'm certain I've done this earlier...

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. If you feel like messing around with the Meraki API, you might find som inspiration here; https://github.com/meraki/automation-scripts/tree/master/topusers

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

What you are doing there, is basically the reverse. If you want to hand out addresses 0.2 - 0.254, and 1.1-1.254, You would have to reserve 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.255. In reserved IP ranges, put; 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.255 , 192.168.0.255.

@MerakiDave wrote: If I understand the earlier power question correctly, then no, the MR30H should require 3at power on its uplink port in order to come up AND be able to pass through 3af power on port 1. It should NOT be able to uplink with 3af power and simultaneously have 3af passthrough on port 1. That is also what I meant, I believe. I was just unable to word it properly. Thanks. :) Inorder to power 3af out it's LAN ports, it must be power itself with 3at. :)

@DrewF; If the LAN port is set to the same VLAN as AP management, you could run an Guest SSID with MEraki DHCP on a daisy chained AP. I think. Without having tested it. Meraki DHCP NATs directly on the AP, with the APs mgmt IP address. So assuming your AP mgmt vlan is 10, setting that as access port on the MR30H LAN port, would allow for the daisy chained AP to NAT to that address and vlan. Again, without having tested it.

I had a discussion with a customer and Account Manager the other day, whether this was possible or not, and whether the solution would be "good". From what I read, the MR30H requires 802.3af but with .3at recommended, and gives .3af out the LAN ports. The customer is having a scenario where he would like to run two MR30H in daisy chain from one switch, rather than running them both down to the switch. I kept trying to say that I doubt it would work, yet I was unsure completely. Usually the AM only hears "maybe" and automatically assumes that as a "sure, it works".
