Hi   I configured an SSID with MAC filtering as described here and indeed this works. But what I have noticed is that if I have a device that its MAC address is not registered in the dashbord By just having the password, this device connects and obtains an IP but it has no access to the Internet because the MAC is not registered. This device will have access to the Internet until the MAC address is registered in the Dashbord. I have made several L3 rules conventions but I have tried to ensure that my computers do not have IP. Is there a way to avoid what I'm talking about. ??? Note: The addressing is being given by Meraki. ... View more

i don't know it's still be a problem with you or not, but recently we faced the same problem, when we added the new switch that has lower mac address and create stack the existing switch as a stack together, the newer one become active role due to lower mac address   our approach is rebooted the newer one, and the active role move to the existing/older one.. referred to this documentation    https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Stacking/Switch_Stacks#Configuring_a_Physical_Switch_Stack     ...

I agree.  Let's make sure to give this feedback to Meraki. ... View more

Hi. We are having an issue connecting a new Meraki MS390 to 2 production Nexus 7000 switches using vPC.  The Nexus 7K switches have been confirmed to be configured correctly by a Cisco employee & we have multiple working vPCs on them already.  The Meraki switch is not sending any LACP packets to the Nexus switches despite documentation saying it should.  How do you enable LACP on the MS390s? ...

I think there has been already a link to the meraki documentation site exited, in which it was recommended to use the LAN interfaces (for the time being) for native MPLS! Maybe someone does have this link and can provide it? I`d like to ask also a question regarding the use of the LAN Interface vs. the WAN NO NAT/NAT Exemption feature in BETA... Is my understanding correct that - when I use a LAN Interface for routing traffic to a MPLS Router no statistics e.g. shows up on the appliance dashboard? If so, is this possible when using the NO NAT on a WAN-Interface? Probably someone can also point out the differences/advantages when using NO NAT on a WAN-Interface... for example: content filtering, etc. may also work with it?     ... View more

so just to recap:   I create a new wireless network with PSK authentication. Map it to a VLAN/subnet on the network, and make sure it can communicate via layer3 to the existing corporate wireless.   then go into the policy on both wireless networks, enable bonjour forwarding, and specify that new printer VLAN?   ...

I haven't tried that, but I would imagine that if you have Meraki access-points and a MX, the reporting would still work. You just wouldn't get any info about the switches ... View more

If the comparison is "apples with apples", you you use SmartNet and DNA licencing with the same terms as the Meraki licences - the Meraki solution usually works out wayyyyyyyyy cheaper.   I haven't done a WLC for a while now.  I think DNA licencing is compulsory on them now, every if you don't have DNA Centre. ...

The concern I'd have here is that you'd end up with two totally different APs;   a 2.4 GHz AP, on one side of the wall and a 5 GHz AP on the other.  If your client mix is OK with this, that's fine. I'm thinking maybe you planned on splitting the pigtails from, say, an MA-ANT-25 across the two radios?   On the face of it, that would give you one antenna for each radio, both inside and outside..?   That really should be avoided;  the recommended dual antenna chains connected to the same radio is what provides multiple spatial streams (for newer clients) and/or antenna diversity [to mitigate multi-path fade] (for older clients).  These rely on both antennas having the same coverage area and the radio assumes that, in its operation.  This is mentioned in the antenna installation guide. ...

Ok, got it. Thanks for the reply MRCUR. ... View more

@Silas1066 wrote: I ultimately opened a case with Meraki   looks like the upstream Comcast router is causing the issue --not passing the traffic correctly to the security appliance I didn't even think to suggest that.  All of our sites have static ip's, so they have to have the isp equipment running in bridge mode.   We have seen from time to time carriers will route UDP traffic differently than tcp - even though they claim that they don't.  We use 7 or so ISP's nationwide, so we see a lot. ...

Does the order email list an MX84-HW?  If it doesn't appear in your inventory then that suggests it was not added correctly. ... View more

The uplink port, if trunked, has to match the native Vlan of the trunk port on the other end. However, like I said previously, Meraki terminology is just plain wrong between what it calls Uplink and management or LAN IP. It is a little confusing the way they interchange the terms. One thing I can specifically tell you is that if you have an open port on the Meraki, duplicate your trunk information on it and put it in an inactive state. Then, anytime you need to make changes to the Uplink trunk you will have a backup in case things go awry. If the Meraki loses the ability to reach the cloud, there's really very limited things you can do to fix it via the local interface. ... View more
