I've done some Python scripting to move all a list of networks to another organization (due to a mistake made by Meraki Support). So, I had also to configure the site-2-vpn, also.  Via the API I had to specify the HUB Network Id for the spokes, no the ID of the devices them-self. Therefore, I want to assume that as long as you will not create a new network for MX450, but will just remove the MX100 and claim MX450 - everything should stay as it is.      ... View more

The site2site vpn with two MX'es in different organizations is considered as Non-Meraki VPN.   To build the site-2-site VPN with MX'es in two organizations is easy enough. One just must note that he needs to specify the subnets he's advertising, and have to match the IPsec policies on both ends.    If the MX'es are the only site-2-site appliances in the organization, they must be set as HUB. ...

I like the PDL model, but indeed I've seen a lot of bugs.  As already stated, calling the Support is only solution. ... View more

The same happens to me.    For local status page: Enable or disable access to the local device status pages at my.meraki.com, switch.meraki.com, wired.meraki.com. For MX's, this disables access from the LAN. Configure MX remote access here .   Since site-to-site VPN has a different virtual interface, it make a lot of sense that the page is still accessible from VPN.    However, for a VPN concentrator which only acts as Wireless concentrator, disabling local status page works as expected.  ...

Task 1: We are looking for a radio station. Switch Eddie's geographic location (address). Answer: Broadcasting House, Peel Wing, Portland Pl, London W1A 1AA, United Kingdom   Task 2: We are looking for a date. Have a look at VLAN 1525 in the MX. It'll provide hints. Answer: Towel Day = Tuesday, May 25   Task 3: We're looking for a well known attack used by hackers. A hint can be found in the raspberrypi client's notes. Hint: So long, and thanks for all the phishing. Answer: Phishing   Task 4: We're looking for a motto, and even a rule. Don't ... SSID 15's name says the rest. Answer: Don't Panic   Task 5: This question can be found on the splash page settings for the same SSID. Answer: What is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything   Task 6: We're looking for one of my favorite characters. The Total Perspective Vortex MV camera's tags are all hints. Hints: alan rickman and warwick davis, ambition makes you look pretty ugly, looney tunes martian, recently-added, Answer: Marvin the Paranoid Android   Task 7: We're looking for some kind of big calculator. Port 6 on switch Eddie links up to it. Hint: Deep Thought Uplink Answer: Deep Thought   Task 8: We're looking for the artist of a song. You'll need to use the snapshot API to know which one. Make a snapshot of the Total Perspective Vortex camera. I shone some light at the exact timestamp of 18/08/2020 16:12:00 Belgian time (Note that Belgian time is at +02:00 at the moment). If your timestamp is correct, you'll see the title of a song that's also the name of a spaceship, if not you'll see only darkness. Answer: Neil Young   Task 9: Who is informed when someone violates their geofencing policy? Answer: arthur.dent@human.from.earth   Task 10: By now the central theme of the questions should be clear. But the next question isn’t: oaniemmsbuhpvzkbzptgsilyzskjoticnmk? It's Vigenère encoded, the keyword for deciphering it can be found in a pointless MX L3 firewall rule.

Had the same problem with MX450.  The device showed to be offline. There were no problems with Internet or something else, since the Spare device was on the same internet line with different IP address. Spare device started to send VRRP announcements.    We have rebooted the device, the opened a TAC case.  We were told that the OOB logs have to be collected from the Local Status Page before rebooting the device, otherwise they can't find what was the problem.  What I am not sure, if the status page was accessible at the moment of restart - I believe it wasn't, but can't confirm as we had no access to the device in that period. ...
