Re: Trial period for new Meraki User   Hi thank you for your prompt responses. Yes we managed to get 1 device connected by claiming it.   It now shows up under our Organisation - Wireless - Access Points. IT appears to be working and allows clients to connect and browse the internet. We are now trying to figure out how it is doing that on our network. It appears to have got a valid set of IP creds from our DHCP server. But we can browse our lan as a connected client! Which is a bit scary!   I am sure there is much learning to ensure the connected clients cannot get out onto the lan. I would have thought this was the default operation. Where AP clients can get to the internet but not each other or the underlying lan.   Must have missed something when config this one.    There is a red license issue flag at the top that says we need a dashboard license so will investigate that. I have emailed the sales team as suggested to see what we need to do to trial this setup. We will need to install a good few of these around the building to test the functionality etc. But the dashboard looks very comprehensive. Is all our data secure? Who has access to it? Is it being mined by Meraki/Cisco et al?   Thank you all for the attention and support.   A quick question for the experienced. We cannot seem to find a way to lock down the local web Ui on the AP itself. It seems to respond to a client web page on 10.128.128.128 and proves a lot of information to a potential attacker. How do we disable this web ui or restrict access only to admins etc.  Cheers Tony   ... View more

HI thank you for the fast response. We got these as used items essentially donated for the cost of the shipping. They were all ex corporate devices and 'unclaimed' whatever that means. I am not sure what organisation they historically belonged to.    I assure you at 80-100GBP per annum per device that is a lot of money to us and could amount to over a 1000gbp per year just in licensing costs. There did not seem to be a NFP option or a group or pool license or a trial or evaluation license.    Cheers Tony   ... View more
