I found the solution, there is a "Default action" field immediately following the "Triggers and Actions". I mistook that to be the action taken when the "Match criteria" is met. The Default action states "Settings to apply if no triggers match" and the default value is "Use existing port configuration". The moral of the story: Read carefully when applying new features. 😉

The Org Change Log has an entry at the time I added the Automation to the ports and then nothing until my colleague started removing ports from the SecCam_Profile a couple hours later. The switch Event Log has the following for each port that was a) included in the Automation and b) Active during the time frame. These all appear about 60 seconds after the Automation was added: Event Type: Port profile applied dynamically Details: Profile SecCam_Profile applied to port 4 via DEFAULT The latest question then, is: Where is "DEFAULT" defined and if it is not, does the only Automation become the default? Thanks again!

Meraki Team, I'm with a Meraki Partner and have been selling, installing and configuring Meraki products for years. We have a new implementation at a new customer where we installed three MS130-series switches and a couple access points. That customer is planning to install, in the next few weeks, some security cameras. I thought this would be a great opportunity to try SmartPorts Automations to watch for the camera MAC addresses (or more specifically, their OUI's) and "automagically" assign those ports to the Security VLAN. It was super easy to configure the SmartPorts profile as well as the Automation - give it a name, what to match "AA:BB:CC*" and what profile to apply. I did that all this morning and applied it to all "non-uplink" switch ports. Here's where the plan went sideways. Before lunch was over, the Automation had reassigned the VLAN attributes on virtually every active switch port. The APs, the printers, and everything connected to a wired port, were suddenly in the Security VLAN (which, since the cameras aren't active yet, has no DHCP activated). You can imagine the users.. "everything is down". I'm unclear on why the Automation would have "adjusted" any ports at all since it is set to match on an OUI that none of the other wired devices match. Please advise, thanks!

I'm seeing the same issue for the past couple of hours in both Chrome and Firefox.

You will need to contact the Meraki adminstrator at the company from which you purchased the access points. Only a full organization-wide Admin can un-claim the access points (they will need the serial numbers from you) to make them available for you to claim into your organization. Have a great day!

I stumbled across this thread while looking for a solution to a similar need. For the sake of anyone reading this in the future, I wanted to share another solution that I found. ...from the official Meraki github account... https://github.com/meraki/dashboard-api-python/blob/main/examples/aio_org_wide_clients_v1.py This script iterates through every Org to which your API key has access and through every network in each Org, then it saves a CSV of the clients in each network and finally, compiles all of the client CSVs into one file containing all the clients in all the networks for that organization. I hope this helps!

I'm working with a school district where primarily Apple devices are used. As a result of using iPads and MacBooks at school, staff and students tend to have iPhones as their personal devices. There is no BYOD network for students, they are allowed to use only school-owned devices which are governed by policies to maintain CIPA compliance. Anyone reading this knows however, that end-users want to use their own devices for social media, games, etc. so it is virtually impossible to entirely prevent students from using their phones. Staff are allowed to use their personal phones on the Staff SSID, but that network is not CIPA compliant so no students are to be using that SSID. However... Because of this iOS feature (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209368), the Staff credentials have been shared. Eventually it got to a student device resulting in students connecting to the Staff SSID and sharing it with their friends. To summarize the page linked, once an Apple device has a Wi-Fi connection set up, that device can share Wi-Fi credentials with another device, as long as 1) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on both devices, 2) the device owner permits it (tapping "Share Password" on screen), and 3) the new-person is in the first user's contact list. We would love to be able to disable this "Wi-Fi password sharing" feature on school and staff-owned devices, but Apple does not provide that option. We believe that creating a new hidden SSID with a new PSK may stop this behavior, and are preparing to test the theory. Our logic is, if new-person's device can't see the SSID, it won't try to associate, if it can't associate, the Apple "feature" won't reach out to nearby devices looking for credentials. Has anyone in the Community 'tackled' this scenario before and if so, what was your solution? Thanks!

There are so many great troubleshooting tools in the Meraki Dashboard. I'm anxiously awaiting firmware to overcome some "known issues" on the MS390 series. I hadn't realized how dependent I am on the ability to see CDP/LLDP information and really miss it on these new switches.

We are looking for a radio station. Switch Eddie's geographic location (address). Broadcasting House, Peel Wing, Portland Pl, London W1A 1AA, United Kingdom We are looking for a date. Have a look at VLAN 1525 in the MX. It'll provide hints. "Towel Day" - 25 May We're looking for a well known attack used by hackers. A hint can be found in the raspberrypi client's notes. phishing We're looking for a motto, and even a rule. Don't ... SSID 15's name says the rest. Don't Panic! This question can be found on the splash page settings for the same SSID. 42 - "What is the answer to..." We're looking for one of my favorite characters. The Total Perspective Vortex MV camera's tags are all hints. Marvin the Paranoid Android We're looking for some kind of big calculator. Port 6 on switch Eddie links up to it. Deep Thought 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. Neil Young (Heart of Gold) Who is informed when someone violates their geofencing policy? arthur.dent@human.from.earth 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. Douglas Adams

I know this wasn't asked, but in case this is useful to future readers.. When bringing them back online, it is good to power up your MX as soon as it is racked and connected to the ISP. Connect and power up the MS250 next and you will have everything (the rest of the building) back online except devices connected directly to this rack. It also provides, should you need it, connectivity from your laptop to the dashboard. In regard to the stack, power on sequence should not matter. As a personal preference, I bring them up "top to bottom" as seen in the rack. Typically, as each one is being cabled, I will have it booting up so I can watch the boot sequence lights and know it is communicating with the dashboard. By the time the last patch cable is connected, the dashboard should be all green again. #ProTip Spread your AP and MV connections among your switches to minimize impact of a single switch going down. For example, ports 1-6 of each switch in a stack or closet would be dedicated to wireless and/or surveillance.
