At least on my Office SSIDs, I never enable Band Steering. I don't enable 2.4.

Claim them and find out. If it works, then unclaim and sell. If you can't claim then they're claimed elsewhere and unless the admin from that Org unclaims them there's nothing you can do.

This thread gives a bit more guidance. I too cannot access it without requesting access.

Thank you very much @spaladug , much appreciated.

Hello, I'm curious to know if you found a resolution to this? We're seeing similar behavior but it has occurred mid-day. We also have a current ticket open with support but they have not responded yet. Thanks Jake

I think I understand now. I think this feature is to be used when you're using the hub as your internet egress point, because you don't actually have a 0.0.0.0/0 route to advertise into auto-vpn in that instance. You just have the "baked in" default route on the MX hub from it having an internet connection. When you have a static default to the core switch, you're advertising that into auto-vpn, and therefore you don't need the box checked and it is indeed redundant. thanks for the replies!

That page is also s-l-o-w to load.

What are you using to measure the 500/200 speed? Is the speed better after the MX has had a reboot?

Ryan_Miles

That is not what grace period means

Thanks @Ryan_Miles, indeed it was @GreenMan and RainX does state that it helps keep snow off as well 😎

Hey, were you able to exchange the license key without any additional cost? I am in the same situation, I asked for MX67C and got MX67 Advance License.

I haven't used it in a very long time, but you could also look at the Bulk Network Creation Tool. https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Templates_and_Config_Sync/Using_the_Bulk_Network_Creation_Tool

Cheers Ryan, will schedule updates this week. Regards, Christo

Ryan_Miles

Agreed. The doc link is probably the best reference and when this gets asked next time folks should just link to that instead of a long thread of everyone explaining what's already documented 😉

New2Meraki

Right, but using this method significantly weakens the effectiveness. If this feature actually works then you end up with a network you can troubleshoot with proactive notification in some places but not in others. That sucks.

Meraki report this has now been fixed, and I can confirm I've not seen any false offline/dormant status for several weeks now.

As of today you can opt for Subscriptions if it's a net new purchase/deployment (no existing org and licensing in place) or if you're on Co-term and it's due for renewal. Once an Org is shutdown you can't do much. The dashboard will show as shutdown when you login. And most functions stop working. I think? switches maybe still pass traffic. It's been forever since I tested a shutdown org to see what if anything functions. Maybe someone else with recent experience can chime in.

Thanks everyone for the input. I believe this is the direction we're going. It will be at least a few days before we begin moving forward with this. So if anyone still has an opinion let me know.

Wow, he's really something... I understand exactly what your asking unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. Just wanted to shake my head digitally in reply to ol Ryan

I'm showing the service is up as of now.

I noticed this as well. I was trying to test an issue the other day to see if it was an IP conflict, and found I couldn't just change the MR IP address.

Ryan_Miles

Depending on traffic types flows will be kept on the WAN it was initiated on. Load balancing doesn't implicitly mean all traffic will always be spread across both WAN ports. This is mentioned in the following doc https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Firewall_and_Traffic_Shaping/MX_Load_Balancing_and_Flow_Preferences

Captain

At some point I was considering faulty hardware due to bad VVRP packets checksum. So, I have decided to use another switch to have the LAN trunk from MX connected to. Once the MXs were connected there the problem was resolved. So, I went back to original switch to see what the difference is when i noticed on the original i had stp guard - bpdu guard active on these ports! After disabling stp guard on the original switch - all went back to normal. While in the documentation recommends enabling RSTP globally, it doesn't mention not to use STP Guard for those ports as it will cause issues.

Ryan_Miles

You could achieve load balancing if you connect the MG to MX WAN 1 and enable "cellular active uplink". This feature uses the WAN 2 logic for the integrated cellular radio. So, this config would allow you to load balance across WAN 1 (connected to the MG) and the cellular radio in the MX67C.
