Only the first WAN interface is supported on MXs in passthrough mode. Connecting other WAN interfaces is unsupported and may cause connectivity issues. Passthrough Mode on the MX Security Appliance and Z-series Teleworker Gateway

This tool can be run from any Meraki device that is currently connected to the Cisco Meraki cloud. This live tool is designed to test the speed of communication between the device and Dashboard. It is not meant to accurately test the speed an Internet/WAN link is capable of.

As @ww indicated, you can just assign by VLAN without having to implement VLAN profiles. To help try to answer your question: Overview VLAN Profiles is a new feature spanning MR and MS as a means to provide both dynamic, RADIUS based assignment of VLANs to devices/users/endpoints based on an alphanumeric name, but also as a means to abstract VLAN IDs from certain elements in Dashboard using relatable terminology instead of numbers. VLAN profiles can work along with 802.1X/MAB authentication to assign authenticated users and devices to specific VLANs according to a VLAN name rather than an integer. This can reduce the configuration and management burden on the RADIUS server by allowing fewer authentication policies to be used for multiple sites which may use different VLAN IDs for the same functional group of users and devices. For example, sites A and B may both have a "guest" VLAN, which is VLAN ID 100 at site A but ID 99 at site B. Without VLAN profiles, a separate RADIUS policy or rule would normally be created on the RADIUS server for each of site A and site B. With VLAN profiles, a single policy can be created on the RADIUS server which sends the VLAN name "guest" to the switches at each site, which then can map the "guest" VLAN name to the appropriate VLAN ID.

Perhaps you can use the Give your feedback (previously Make a Wish) feature to provide Meraki feedback on requesting implementation/integration with this cloud provider.

RWelch

MX Installation Guides link offers the setup guides for the following offerings. Unfortunately I am not familiar with OVH (sorry).

RWelch

Give your feedback (previously Make a Wish) provides you a way (means) to give feedback if you haven't yet used it.

Fun to be part of the community, participate when possible and learn/grow from others' responses. Wishing you ALL the best in 2025!

NetFlow is supported on the MX/Z platforms and can be read about here. NetFlow is also supported on a subset of MS switches. Please refer to this documentation for more information.

RWelch

Seems like it's only going to allow for one instance.

NetFlow Overview I'm not sure about multiple collectors but this will get you headed in the right direction.

RWelch

Maybe just call Support as they'd likely walk you through this process/steps. And if it fails, then you can let them start the RMA process 😉

😅Yes as mentioned above: Note: IF YOU HAPPENED TO HAVE MISTAKENLY HELD the reset button after the switch reboots IT WILL place it in factory test mode. IF THIS HAS OCCURRED, reboot the device to return it to normal behavior. Hope it helps 😅

RWelch

To INITIATE a factory rest, it needs to be plugged into POWER. For it to fetch a new config file (AFTER) factory reset it will need connectivity to the internet (cloud). After resetting the unit, the device will need to download its latest configuration from the dashboard. Please be patient as this could take up to 5-10 minutes.

MS Access Switches To reset a switch to the factory defaults, press the button labeled Reset or Restore on the front panel of the switch for 10-15 seconds. Be sure to release the button after 10-15 seconds or when power light goes out (whichever occurs first). This will clear the static IP address settings and local configuration of the device. After resetting the unit, the device will need to download its latest configuration from the dashboard. Please be patient as this could take up to 5-10 minutes. Note: Holding the reset button after the switch reboots will place it in factory test mode. If this has occurred, reboot the device to return it to normal behavior.

General Troubleshooting Steps for Meraki APs

RWelch

What are the devices? Meraki or other? What model? Any way to see (show us) the configurations to help understand and guide? Static IPs or DHCP?

RWelch

Are the switch uplinks/downlinks on that switch configured to all the right native VLAN and Allowed VLANs set to allow traffic for your AP (management VLAN and SSIDs)?

RWelch

Have you compared the port configuration settings (port that it was taken from and port where it is now connected - native VLAN and Allowed VLANs)? Is the new port on that switch enabled?
