Yeah. We replaced the switch with a new Meraki. Same model. The switch cable test runs with no results.

I'm the network guy. I have the layer one team come out to test. I can only imagine they are using the correct parameters. I'm not sure. It is a Leviton cable plant from end to end.

We are using standard 568B wiring. We are testing with the same cables used for patching. This is happening in 2 different buildings. We even swapped out the switches. I putting my money on a poorly terminated CAT6A cable. I have not looked at the terminations yet.

The Ap firmware is MR 29.4.1. Cable length varies on the AP's that are having trouble. When I set the port speed it just turns it back to auto.

I have an odd one. I am trying to connect an MR46 (29.5.1) on new Leviton CAT6A cable plant. All runs tested are less than 150 feet. Problem is I get the AP connected and the switch (MS225 15.21.1) shows power but no data. The AP tries over and over but cannot connect to the cloud. Our layer 1 team has Fluke tested the link (including patch cables, all CAT 6) and test passes with no issue. I move the AP to the closet, use same patch cord and plug into the same port and AP works. Has anyone experienced issues with possible cable plant slightly off causing this issue? I have also had MR46's connected or a couple weeks then they drop off and have the same issue. Anyone????

My hobby is horology. I enjoy bring life back to old mechanical clocks. It's a lost art and this will be something to do when I retire. I have changed my avatar to a picture of a clock I have. It's a 1930's ish Gingerbread clock also known as a mantle or kitchen clock. I now have 4 grandfather clocks and over 40 wall/mantle clock. My oldest clock was made in 1887. BTW...My hobby is a great break from technology.😁

In early 2000's we ran T1's to all sites. When a link would get saturated we used to go to the main computer room to re-allocate channels on circuits from voice to data. We also would bind T1's together for more bandwidth. This was our WAN drawing at the time with the circuit numbers..... Man! I do not miss those days...

I have 4 colleges with their own IT staff. At times they will reboot a switch. The off line alert has a minimum of 5 minutes. Maybe Meraki should start there and change the time to seconds. Being in the education industry having a switch off line for longer than 5 minutes before we even get alerted is a bit much. I have all my Meraki switches in PRTG as a work around for now.

That would explain it. The traffic is minimal due to nobody on site at the time. Thanks.

Has anyone run into this issue? I have a red "X" in between my AP and switch and I can't figure out how to fix it. It's like this on 2 of the three networks I have running. There are no issues with traffic flow either. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

I need to put a switch in an enclosure outside in a monument. I live in Sacramento and it can get down to 25 °F and up to 110°F. Any suggestions?

I know. I am the only one that manages this stuff with the App. Being in BETA I can't really put the app in production until it's completely tested and proven. Plus the last thing I need is giving access to people that are outside our network to make changes after hours.

We use SSO as well. It does not work for me so I created an Admin account I can use on the App to connect with.

We use SSO to get to our dashboard. When I try to use the beta app it just spins (iPhone) and never logs me in.

A bit about yourself & your work I have been working for the Los Rios Community College District fro 18 years as a Network Admin/Analyst. I started when the first switched network was installed. Xylan 10Mb half duplex to the desktop with a 10 Mb backbone. We switched to Alcatel then to Cisco. Now we are moving forward with our first deployment of Meraki. Your experience with Cisco Meraki I have no experience with Meraki. We just stood up our dashboard and are waiting to deploy equipment in a new building. A fun fact about yourself I twice have been an extra in movies and I am an amateur Horologist.
