As requested:  Here are some beginner tips (especially aimed at CLI pro's) to succesfully get an MS switch or Catalyst Meraki managed switch online into dashboard.   Default switchport configuration: On a factory default MS switch every port has the following configuration: switchport mode trunk switchport trunk native vlan 1 switchport trunk allowed vlan all All VLANs are created by default so the ports can receive any traffic from any port. On a factory default Catalyst switch that has been placed into Meraki management mode the ports have the same configuration but since the TCAM space is configured differently all VLANs cannot be created.  So all ports get VLANs 1-995.  This part is important if you like to have your management VLAN above 995. When you connect your brand new or factory defaulted switch to an upstream device keep this default configuration in mind so you can manipulate the downstream port on your existing device to easily get the switch online.  You don't even have to worry about a temporary native VLAN mismatch.  The tip I usually give here is to set the desired switch management VLAN as native on the downstream port on the existing device. It is recommended to have your switch configuration already in place in dashboard before even connecting the new switch.  The configuration of the upstream switchport and the management IP are of importance here.  This way the moment the switch grabs it's configuration it will already be in the final state to keep being connected to dashboard. You can set the default switch management VLAN on the Switching -> Switch Settings page. If you like to use fixed IP addresses on your switches then it is also recommended to set this on the individual switch configuration page. And of course reflect the desired config on your uplink port   Even if you will eventually have a fixed IP address on your switch it is highly recommended to have a small DHCP pool in the switch management VLAN where your switch can automatically grab an IP address, connect to dashboard and then move over to it's fixed IP address configured in dashboard. In below screenshot you will see that the largest part of the VLAN is reserved for fixed IP addresses but the DHCP server will assign IP addresses from .201 to .254.   Final tip:  This has more to do with the day-1 and beyond configuration of the switch. On the Switching -> Switchports page you see every individual switchport for the entire network independent of the switch they are on.  This feature is imho the most powerful feature of the switching side in dashboard and has been my personal favorite since first working with dashboard in 2017. At the top you have the ability to adjust visible colums and slide those colums in the order you like. Click on the wrench and make sure you enable the tags column And then make sure you give meaningful tags to each switchport because the you can easily select ports based on their tag.  Tags can also be used for other functions like alerting but in this example the tags are important for selecting and having a consistent configuration over your entire network. In my personal preference I place an ACCESS tag on access ports and a TRUNK tag on trunk ports.  But I also add the VLAN descriptor in case of access ports or a function in case of a trunk port like AP, FW, SRV etc.  You can add multiple tags and each tag can be used for selection. In the search field at the top of the page you can type tag:yourtag and it will then only show the ports with that tag. Note: partial matches also work so avoid using the same letter sequence in another tag.  For example: if you had a tag INTUNE-PC and ADMIN-PC then you could erroneously select both if you type tag:PC. By clicking the checkbox left and above the entire list you select all the switchports visible on the screen at once and you can edit them all at once.  This does not work on multiple pages so you need to go to each page and click the top tickbox again to also select the ports on that page. You can track your selection at the top. I hope this was informative of you and like to that you for reading 🙂 ... View more

Olá @leonardogcosta    Vou te dar um exemplo com uma empresa genérica, e você depois poderá fazer a analogia para qualquer ramo específico. Imagine que você e eu somos funcionários da empresa Rafa&Leo, e nosso domínio é domínio@rafaeleo.com.br. Temos cada um sua conta de e-mail nesse domíno, bem como todos os demais funcionários da empresa. Configuramos nosso SSID de Guest com essa função de sponsored guest. Selecionamos que, por padrão, qualquer convidado autorizado terá 1 hora de acesso (poderia ser qualquer outro valor). Também configuramos que o único domínio válido é o domínio@rafaeleo.com.br. Feito!   Agora... imagine que alguém vem visitar nossa empresa. Essa pessoa deve conectar-se ao nosso SSID Guest e verá uma splash page perguntando:   Qual é o e-mail da pessoa que vai te autorizar?   - Se essa pessoa colocar rafael@gmail.com dá erro, porque gmail não é um domínio reconhecido;   - Se essa pessoa colocar rafael@rafaeleo.com.br, eu receberei um e-mail para que autorize a conexão.   O interessante aqui é a flexibilidade que o convidado tem de selecionar qualquer pessoa que trabalhe na empresa para aprovar seu acesso à rede guest (nos dias antigos, somente a recepcionista que poderia fazê-lo).   Espero que esse exemplo deixe tudo claro pra você! Não sendo o caso, avise!   Um forte abraço! ... View more
