Today's silly question 🙂 How long will Meraki's switch continue to work/function if they lose connection to the dashboard/cloud? I know they are good for a few hours as we have lost Internet connection for a few hours What happens if it loses it for Days ? or permanently - will it stop processing port traffic etc? Thanks

Hello You have two stacks ( one 6 and one 3 stack) - Assuming these are in different locations in the same building? How are the two stacks connected? Do you have a Distribution switch between the two stacks ? Or are both Stacks connected to each other ? For the ports that your users connect to are these Trunk or Access ports? Are your inter-switch ports all Trunk ports? What is do you use for your Layer 3 routing for these two stack switches ?

HI Are the users disconnecting from the Client VPN connection when they are finished? I'm assuming they are using the built-in Windows client VPN ? or are you using the new anyconnect? Are they also shutting down the laptop or just closing the lid and hibernating? Just sounds like Outlook is still running and just needs to be closed in task manager first when back on site Hope that helps

I was just helping a user with an issue and wanted to see what port and switch they were using - went into the Clients section and found the device but there was no connection info on what ports an switches they were connected to This was a great feature and was used all the time - what happened to it and can we get it back Seems since the new font upgrades it disappeared??

Have you set the management Vlan in the DHCP setting for the IP address of the switch?

Update We did some investigations last night while the network was in error We have a separate network using Cisco switches and the connection between the two networks is a connection between an MS225 and a Cisco catalyst switch. According to Meraki If the connection to a Cisco Catalyst switch then you cannot have an MS as the Root Switch This doesn't work for our set up as the Catalyst cannot be the root for all of our Vlans and main network Seems the Two Spanning Tree Protocols are not compatible and there are a lot of STP coming from that other network Why won't Cisco implement Cisco and Meraki compatibility they are the same company 😞

Hello All We are in process of migrating over to a complete Meraki Switch site. We started about a month ago and have our main areas mainly done already - Close to 60 switches, with about 40 already deployed. We are upgrading from OLD HP/Aruba switches of various models /ages We have run the approx 40 switches already deployed for about a month but in the last week and a half we have been seeing Very high STP on ports - and then during the day, we start to see switches alert and say DNS is misconfigured. This is when the network crashes hard and we lose the network across our whole site, i.e no internet no access to servers, etc. We have an MS425-32 set as a core switch with L3 configured - this then connects to other MS425's as distribution switches that have MS225 connected to them. We also have some MS125-24/48's and MS120-8FP's connected. We can see various ports on various switches turn orange and give the Very high or High STP errors on the ports. The only way we have found to clear the issue is to reboot the Core, Main Distribution Switch, and also a stacked Switch (that connects to our cisco Blade serves and storage devices that house all our servers) Once we do this and "Clear: the STP errors the network comes back and the switches return to normal Green connection We have the switches set for static IP's on Vlan 99 ( our Management VLAN) with DNS set to 8.8.8.8 and IP for our Firewall. Wondering if anyone has seen this before? and shouldn't Meraki's shut down ports instead of taking the network down, it's like the Meraki will not recover itself without a reboot. For FYI RSTP is enabled globally and some ports do have root Guard enabled depending on the endpoint connected, with a mix of Trunk and Access Ports Sorry for the long-winded explanation 🙂
