Meraki

Hi @PhilipDAth There are known issues with this, that I do believe dev is working hard to fix, given the push for getting customers to 18.2 Support Engineer should have info about this.

Ok, this configuration alone looks good for integrating with a Meraki Switch at least.

MSTP is in fact RSTP just with the possibility to create multiple instances. Using default MSTP instance together with RSTP should work just fine. Check if it is actually necessary to run multiple instance, or if one is enough.

Hi, One thing to keep in mind is that MX does not run STP, so plan accordingly regarding downstream switches. Avoid connecting more than two switches in the same STP domain directly to the LAN of the MX.

Not unnecessary if you have pinned firmware for devices @John_on_API Then it would be very valuable to get the per device firmware. Also this is something that should be possible: To have different firmwares for devices in the same network.

It is also worth to notice that the firmware version displayed in Dashboard doesn't have to be the actual firmware running on the device. It is just what is configured for the Network. If the firmware version displayed on the device page is different from what is displayed in the Firmware Upgrade page, we have to assume it is a UI Bug.

Meraki runs RSTP which i basically the same as MSTP, only with one instance. If you run MSTP with one instance (default instance 0) and allow vlan 1 on the trunk you should be fine.

Before you go ahead using MX as core device be careful and read this article: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Networks_and_Routing/MX_Layer_2_Functionality MX does not run Spanning Tree or support aggregation (LACP)

Thanks @Bruce So VLANs residing in MST 1 will not be visible to the Meraki RSTP switches at all, correct? It might be safe to assume that MS390 switches wich are running MST are running MST default instance 0, correct? Will it be problematic to have both MST 0 and MST 1 running on catalyst as long as the production VLANS reside in MST 0? Thanks

Tore · ‎Jun 17 2021

@PhilipDAth Do you know what will happen if both MST 0 and 1 is configured on the Catalyst (root)?

@JasonEmeryI believe vMX100 license will work with a vMX-M instance, but not the other way around. So if you had a vMX100 license and bought/renewed a new vMX license you would have to install a vMX instance, just as you experienced. But if you had valid vMX100 license you could continue using this with a vMX instance for several years (might be differences between AWS, Google, Azure etc).

@bigben386Hopefully it will work, then. I see other features as well not officially supported with templates, like NBAR. I hope the plan is to have these new features supported with templates.

Tore · ‎Feb 18 2021

It's here 🙂 https://documentation.meraki.com/Meraki_Internal/Draft_Articles/Draft_Article/SecureConnect However this is concerning: SecureConnect is not supported in networks bound to configuration templates. Wonder if templates will be supported in the future?

Hi, The vMX100 Meraki license will work with vMX-M (it is basically the same product) so you will be fine. Don't worry about Dashboard showing vMX100 It will do this until you renew your license. Cisco Meraki will continue to support the vMX100 SKU through December 22, 2027 For AWS take a look at this: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/MX_Installation_Guides/vMX_Setup_Guide_for_Amazon_Web_Services_(AWS) I recommend upgrading the MX to RC Firmware 15.42
