Ooooooh!! Yeah, we got about a thousand of those. We're supposed to be doing fiber out here in the future, and we have all the equipment collecting dust. So we'll be fine once it arrives then. I thought for a second it was something I didn't mention that we needed to purchase ... View more

Just so everyone is updated, we were able to get an MX250. It's on the way. I was able to configure all switches to perform auto QoS and some people have noticed a better service, others not so much. So now we wait until the new device gets here.   Any tips on running it in conjunction with the MX100? ... View more

Currently, because I took the command off, they have nothing. I wanted to read up on that warning. Like I mentioned before, it didn't bring down the network, so I'm cool with it.   I did an int-range to ensure I got them all. Some ports just had their protocol down and were taken out of the etherchannel bundle. I'll have to look into that in the morning. ... View more

Any reason why enabling/disabling that Auto Qos Trust DSCP would give me a warning stating:   Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/6 in ether channel 5 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/10 in ether channel 2 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/11 in ether channel 2 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/12 in ether channel 2 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/14 in ether channel 7 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/15 in ether channel 7 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/21 in ether channel 3 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/22 in ether channel 3 Warning: - removal of service policy will cause inconsistency with GigabitEthernet1/0/23 in ether channel 3   When I enabled it, it gave me WAY more warnings. The network didn't crap out, so I guess that's a good thing. ... View more

So I think one of the first things I did was to enable QoS and ensure that all voice traffic was being given priority. That unfortunately hasn't made a difference. Voice traffic is still jittery coming in. We've cleaned up the majority of the lines going from switch to switch, so now I think I'm going to have to start doing the QoS on each switch.   I won't even try to lie about that. I've never had to worry about enabling QoS except for labs in my CCNA R&S. So while I understand what I'm trying to do, I've never actually done it. I'm already reviewing the configuration guide for each switch. So if anyone has any tips or tricks they want to throw my way, I'm all ears.   Thanks. ... View more

So we were able to increase speeds slightly throughout the network with the Gigabit uplinks to the other switches. People have noticed the faster speeds. I never get to use it the way they do, so if they say so I take it with a grain of salt.    My real test is getting non-buggy phone calls. For some reason when we connect our laptops to the extra ethernet port to our WAN, our WhatsApp/FaceTime/Skype calls are near perfect. But when we connect through the MX100 it becomes jittery and buggy. We drop about every 5th word.   Would anyone know why it's doing that? ... View more

Well we haven’t been able to get all of them changed, I’d say we’ve gotten about 80% done. But some folks on base are saying the internet is faster for them, so that’s a start.   There were other factors involved in that too. The MR84 antenna placement was wrong in some areas where people would sleep/congregate. They’d be sector antennas instead of omni, or they’d have the antennas pointed in the direction of nothing. So we fixed a lot of that stuff too.   My focus right now is the rest of the uplink ports and finding someone in Germany who sells an MX250.   I’ll keep updating as I go along ... View more

So I was able to get them on board with purchasing an MX250. Now we just need to find a place in the UK/Germany that ships fast.  ... View more

So we're going to be going around to our switches and reconfiguring all of them to have their trunk ports (switch -> switch) moved to Gigabit uplinks. We'll see if that does anything.   I was able to speak with some other supervision on getting an MX250 to work in conjunction with the MX100. In the meantime I'll work on limiting applications and usage across the network to make it a bit better.   Does anyone know how to make muilticast UDP work with the Meraki? I know a huge reason our network bogs down is because the rotation before configured these AverCaster Encoders to stream TCP instead of UDP across our network. I tried my best getting multicast to work on network but ended up bringing it down for about a minute or two when trying to implement it. Had to revert and haven't played around with it since.  ...

So the 2960’s are connected via FastEthernet to the 3650’s, and the 3650’s connect to the MX100.   No 2960 (L2) connects directly to the MX100 ... View more

Bummer. Back in the box they'll go. ... View more

I don't know. They were still in the box and I wasn't able to boot them up just yet. But we have two, and a good chunk of our 1140 APs are on one side of the base.   We can check them out tomorrow. ... View more

We have approximately 30-40 spread out across base. ... View more

As far as I know, they are not being used for anything. I have them staged to be installed in the coming weeks. We're waiting for some poles to be constructed so we can place them outside. But they are definitely going to be put up as soon as possible. ... View more

There are no current controllers in our network. All 1104's run independently off of the switch we supply internet to. The majority of our network consists of supplying a new switch with a trunk port, then setting up a vlan for a wireless access point.   We do have some MR84's in our network, and have 6 more waiting to be installed somewhere. But everything runs to the MX100 through basic switches. ... View more

I don’t believe I have caching in. I can implement that tonight and see what happens.   I know @DarrenOC had asked if I had any wireless controllers. Well I just so happen to find two in our supply tent. Would doing anything with 3504 WLC’s help at all? I think it could be easier to convince supervision to upgrade our speed if I could find a way to integrate those with Meraki.   Thoughts? ... View more

So our network setup looks like this:   MX100 as our gateway   3650 as our “Core Router” (L3) with  - 4 AFN Encoder for receiving satellite and streamed over the network TCP - A download server - Plex servers   Trunked to   Another 3650 (L3) that has direct connection to 7 wireless access points.   that is trunked to 1 3650 (L3) and 2 2960‘s (L2) and a PtP link over a mile away.   that 3650 has 9 wireless access points directly connected to it, plus two cameras etc etc etc etc etc.   It’s literally easier if I sent a picture. ...

To give background on that, the entire network was limited to 10Mbps per client up and down, until last week when I got tasked with fixing it. So as of now, there are no limits bandwidth wise on our network. But, we are only pulling 100Mbps internal as of a minute ago. I had seen it go up to 180Mbps at one point then it never did again.   I do hope that’s what you meant by downstream. ... View more
