Raise a support tickect with that info.

Sometimes making clients roam when an AP is overloaded can cause this. You can check the event log to see if the APs are asking phones to roam because of load. You can read about client load balancing here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Other_Topics/Client_Balancing You can disable load balancing in the RF profile: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Radio_Settings/RF_Profiles

You have to contact support. You can't really see the list of known bugs for a release. You can use the firmware upgrade tool, and select a newer release, and then see what changes to get a hint and what is fixed/still an issue.

PhilipDAth

The red lines would work, but I wouldn't use that approach as it creates a layer 2 loop, and you are relying on spanning tree holding a port down.

PhilipDAth

If you can not get access to the dashboard then a factory reset is pointless. It will just reload its old config back again. Without Dashboard access the device is a throw away.

Are you by chance using a warm spare configuration and have a direct link between the MX's?

PhilipDAth

Much respect to Aaron Willette; but note the special restriction that the link uses a dedicated VLAN so to maintain a loop free solution. On the whole most people were simply putting in a cable and trunking all the VLANs, which was causing spanning tree problems. On the whole if you have an environment where failover will be a rare event, and failing over within 60s or so in that rare event is fine (will probably be closer to 30s), then you can use the design that the Meraki web site proposes - a nice simple stable design, that is reasonably resilent to human error. It is really difficuly making networks tolerant of human errors. I personally use the Meraki web site design of no direct link between the MX's. https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Deployment_Guides/MX_Warm_Spare_-_High_Availability_Pair

Note that OSPF in one armed mode can not listen or learn OSPF routes. It can only advertise AutoVPN routes.

In addition to @jdsilva 's link, note this important bit: Cellular Failover Behavior Meraki does not currently support any cellular failover with a high availability (HA) pair; as we do not perform connection monitoring on cellular uplinks (as of MX 10.X+), which is necessary for HA uplink failover.

PhilipDAth

I would doubt that you could VPN in from inside of the MX to the outside of the MX. I don't think this is a valid config.

PhilipDAth

Well done! That is impressive!

Note that the USB modem is not bought online until the WAN circuit has failed. So you wont be able to ping it if the main Internet connection is working.

PhilipDAth

You can define zones, and this is the co-ordinates within the zone. I'm guessing if you don't define a zone then it would be relative to the entire image.

PhilipDAth

You can't see real time in the dashboard. @ww is correct, you would need to use something like syslog to see this.

PhilipDAth

Does the dashboard report that the USB modem is plugged in? Does the USB modem have any firmware updates from Verizon?

> Can anyone help to deploy a backup conf of switch MS225 on cloud? I guess you are effectively trusting Meraki to maintain those backups for you.

PhilipDAth

If you want to 100% use the dashboard then the only way I can think of is to buy an extra switch, and then clone the switch config you want to the new switch. https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Other_Topics/Switch_Cloning Otherwise I have written a script that can backup a lot of the settings in an organisation, but not everything. http://www.ifm.net.nz/cookbooks/meraki-backup.html

PhilipDAth

No. Just kill the power.

You can connect the LAN port. The requirement is their is no DHCP on the repeater's AP LAN interface. You also have to say which SSID to connect the Ethernet to. This is a guide for configuring it: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Deployment_Guides/Mesh_Deployment_Guide_(CVD)

Do the tablets have a GPS chip in them, and are they in Device Owner mode? If so, the location data should be accurate. The one exception is if the tablet has agressive power saving properties set, which can cause the GPS chip to be turned off quickly after it has been used.

PhilipDAth

I haven't done this particular case, but it will use "compliance" as a test. When you create a policy, say that the policy only applies to devices with a tag using either of these magic tags names "Devices currently compliant" or "Devices currently violating" - depending on weather you want the poilicy to trigger if someone leaves a geo-fence - or enters a geo-fence area.

>Without looking towards the MDM solution, I guess the admins/guest will also be used for the ownership of devices? No. MDM owners are a seperate entity again. MDM owners are often only used to denote the owner, but can optionally be used for authentication in the MDM environment as well. >Is there a reason those dB's are separate? Because I see a big potential for overlapping users without the option to share users between those dB's. The Organization/Network administrators tend to be static. The guest users tend to turn over much quicker. You could always use something external like Active Directory if you like.

PhilipDAth

No.

If you really really have to use 2.4Ghz, this might be a good use case for RX-SOP. https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Radio_Settings/Receive_Start_of_Packet_(RX-SOP) https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Radio_Settings/RF_Profiles#RX-SOP
