Care to explain what issues you'd face? or provide some real issues?

And then Meraki just uses a half baked solution Welcome to the World of Meraki... I think Meraki isn't interested in implementing more than the common instance with MST because either: 1) Their products are designed to fit the needs of people who don't want to understand or learn about how MST/STP works. 2) It's a business strategy to try to make people think: "Oh, let's just get rid of our old cisco switches and buy a full Meraki solution" (providing they are aiming this strategy to companies that can just go ahead and spend a couple of grand on some new kit and get rid of the old traditional cisco kit)

Yeah I think the customer would like to not manually intervene. Meraki officially got back to me and said this isn't supported. I'll look into the splash access and see if that is a viable solution. Many thanks

I've looked around the Meraki documentation but can't find such a simple solution to prevent users from a single device (probably just based on mac address) who try to sign up to a guest network using Meraki Authentication with multiple spoofed email addresses. The captive portal blocks all access until the sign-on is complete but Meraki allows the user internet access for the first 10 minutes by default so that the user can validate their email address and gain access. Although after 10 minutes, the user can just try to sign-up again with another email address and is provided another 10 minutes of access and further more. Is there not an ability to only allow a single device to sign-up to the portal once or twice and then permanently block that device for a period of time preventing the user from gaining 10 minutes of free internet everytime they sign up? It sounds like a simple feature that Meraki should of implemented but I suppose they are extremely limited in features and miss the obvious features like this... p.s Just to confirm, I'm not talking about the feature simultaneous logins (eg. limit logins to one device at a time)

Yeah, it's literally like they've just grabbed a 9300 and some guy at Meraki managed to whack on the firmware onto the existing hardware and thought, this is amazing let's sell this product with the god awful amount lack of basic features for layer 3 routing and other features. Adaptive Policy for the enterprise license. So practically the only feature that will be worth checking out, you'd have to pay an extra £100-200 per switch, typical Meraki... *shakes head*. Sounds like to me that you'll just be using Tags within the dashboard and then the ACLs will simply be based on source tag to destination tag instead of subnets/ip addresses. They make it out to be some next step in their roadmap but they could have probably implemented this ages ago. 😞 I'm getting very tired of Meraki
