Do you have the Youtube app actually installed on the new Chromecast? Without the appropriate app for the website, the new Chromecast will not be able to play the content. ... View more

Re: SpeedTest via API

How often should this be tested for? What destinations should be tested to (per-site)?  Are they aware that each speed test is potentially interfering with their own traffic? What is an "acceptable" threshold of speed? This is the sort of thing that really needs in-depth requirements and a lengthy caveat that if they test too often, they are only hurting themselves more by doing so..   Insight has a way to do API speedtests but I've not yet played with it too much. Having Insight monitor their key applications might be more helpful. ... View more

Validation logic is entirely up to you and how much work you want to put into it.   -You could compare the JSON you PUT to a GET right afterwards   -You could use a diff-style library like difflib or diff itself   -If there are multiple steps you could also use Action Batches to make sure the entire change goes through or it gets reverted   etc. ...

Agreed, the previous dashboard behavior was the menu would align top-down at the same level as the menu option, unless it was too far down on the page and then it would align upwards but it always showed everything, the new behavior doesn't align to anything and causes scroll bars in some menus and is inconvenient ...

I do not believe there is an API endpoint that will let you do this in bulk (yet) Network IDs are not present in the dashboard, but your organization ID is (near the bottom of many pages when you are browsing in an org), you can use that and your API key plus this endpoint to get your network IDs for each network https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-networks ...

Meraki has a few example Python scripts in their Github for doing basically this. It isn't the sort of thing that has official support if you break something though, so use at your own risk and test thoroughly or consider hiring PS.   For example: https://github.com/meraki/automation-scripts   -> copyswitchcfg.py   Description: copyswitchcfg.py:  This script can be used to export switchport configuration of a source org to a file and import it to a destination org. The script will look for the exact same network names and device serial numbers, as they were in the source org. Use copynetworks.py and movedevices.py to migrate networks and devices if needed. ...

Re: Gaming Consoles at University

This is because most games require a router that supports UPNP OR you must manually forward ports to the console. Meraki doesn't support UPNP and port forwarding is on a game by game and console by console basis so your luck may vary.   Xbox Live offers a few alternate ports so that you can port forward more than one Xbox One console (up to 6),but that is only for the Xbox Live service itself and not for the games. Some games will have alternative ports available and you can look them up per game, but at the same time some popular games like Warzone may use completely fixed ports with no alternative.   Xbox Live alternative ports: https://itigic.com/xbox-alternate-ports-open-nat-on-two-consoles-same-network/   I have heard (though not personally verified) that students can use a third party VPN service that offers port forwarding to get around these limitations ...

Agreed on  {{baseUrl}} /devices/:serial/appliance/performance in particular, would like to see this at the org level and/or get the historical performance not just the moment in time (like what you get on the summary report) The below don't exist today but would be very nice to have as far as monitoring data -Device uptime (how long it has been powered on) -Device uptime (how long it has been connected to the cloud) -Device status as a timeseries (similar to the way you get it on a device's dashboard page)  -SSID data usage as a timeseries (the Organization top 10 is close but we need to be able to get specific SSIDs, not just the top 10) -Data from the MX connection monitor...as described here https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Firewall_and_Traffic_Shaping/Connection_Monitoring_for_WAN_Failover ...

Is this implying that no fix is planned for 14 or 15, when 16 is not yet in GA? I sure hope that isn't the case   Also does this mean that 17 is NOT affected? ... View more

Given that Cisco now has both Broadsoft and Webex Calling I don't really see it, but you may find some success with one of those as your UC platform, I believe Broadsoft at least supports physical desk phones and Meraki provides a recommended topology for use with Cisco cloud-connected phones https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Recommended_Topologies/Meraki_and_Cisco_Cloud_Calling_Connected_Branch_Solution ...

That command is the same as the one they said they have already run, the python library is just a wrapper that makes the API commands easier to use.   def rebootDevice(self, serial: str): """ **Reboot a device** https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!reboot-device - serial (string): (required) """ metadata = { 'tags': ['devices', 'liveTools'], 'operation': 'rebootDevice' } resource = f'/devices/{serial}/reboot' return self._session.post(metadata, resource) ...

No, but is your problem getting the initial link to the video wall, or getting a timestamped link to the video wall?    Depending on how many video walls you have....the video wall links take the same "timestamp" parameter as an individual camera, so you could manually create your own list of links to your video walls and then generate timestamped links programmatically by just adding the timestamps as follows   The API gives an example of linking to a camera as such   https://nxx.meraki.com/office-cameras/n/bs0a1k/manage/nodes/new_list/29048243992402?timestamp=1535732570077   which is basically the URL of the camera + "?timestamp=<time>"    Video walls use the same format...so if this is your video wall https://nxx.meraki.com/office-cameras/n/bs0a1k/manage/video/video_wall/69048243912443   just adding "?timestamp=1535732570077" to the end of the link has a similar effect   ...

That code runs just fine in a non-SM network so that endpoint is likely not meant for SM, and what you are actually looking for may be one of these   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-sm-devices   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-sm-users   ... View more
