Thats correct! They are not trying to access your firewall, but dashboard which locates in the cloud 🙂 Im not sure there is any way of doing this. Only solution is, of course, to let him try, and use strong passwords, two factor authenticator, and/or to let specific IP range access the dashboard. Still i am open for any discussion 🙂 Thanks all for stepping in!

Thanks for respond, but this will allow access only from specific IP ranges, and block all others 🙂 I was more looking at option to block a specific IP add who is trying to access the dashboard. Thanks, Deniz

Hi All, I dont know if this question has been asked or makes sense, but I see that constantly someone is trying to access my Meraki dashboard with same IP add. Any possibility to block a specific IP add, range etc that is trying to access dashboard? Thanks, Deniz

I know you have already mentioned, but still might be worth of checking if PoE is enabled on the ports. Additionally, have you viewed the logs if you can see anything there? Or do you have anything similar to shown on this page (brown or red colour on ports)? https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Switch_Port_View

Hi Ludo, Can you see if AP is drawing any power at all? You can see that in switch port details. Or you can go to Switch and check power tab to see budgeted and consumption PoE usage. In my case, it was working but i was curious why AP was drawing so low power from switch and you can find the explanation of why in above responds.

Hi all, Thank you for trying to help on this as I found out the issue and how to solve it. So, DNS issue is not related to Meraki, but its related to Cloudfare which is being used by Chrome browser. Basically, Chrome is forwarding all DNS requests to Cloudfare and therefore I get many "unresolved DNS responds". I move to using Firefox or Safari that use my configured DNS servers, and this should solve me issue. Thanks again for everyone!

It turned out to be that issue is not related to Meraki.. Still not resolved but I get this DNS resolving issue only on my Mac even thought i was connected to different SSID in a different place.

Not on local side, but since the traffic is going through company's network, it is assigned to different VLAN there I would assume. I guess the reason why you are asking if I am getting different DNS server ip add when i m connected to VPN?

Deniz · ‎Sep 18 2018

Philip, APs are configured to use OpenDNS. I dont believe this is the issue since everything is working well when I am on VPN.

Deniz · ‎Sep 18 2018

Thanks for reply, Gavin. No, its only wireless connection on MAC. As said, I face this issue only when i am fully using my local wireless network (i.e. not on VPN)

Hi guys, I am having lately DNS issues on my MacBook using Meraki wireless. I have noticed this lately as the connections got slower and I had too many respond saying "Server host name could not be resolved". I am using VPN to corporate network, and when I am connected via VPN, I never get this issue, but once I use my only local wireless network, then I get DNS problem hence I have to renew the connection to Meraki AP then it is fixed for a short period of time before same problem occurs again. Anyone has experienced this issue or any idea why this might occur? PS: I checked the wireless health on dashboard and everything looks fine, but when I run wireless diagnostics on Macbook, I can see the results as problem is mentioned as DNS. Thanks in advance, Deniz

Thanks Philip, yes indeed that was the reason. Realized that the documents show the Power draw on "switch side", not meaning that AP will consume that much PoE power.

Deniz · ‎Mar 13 2018

Yes, you have a point there, but as you also can see in the data sheet, if AP receives PoE power at 802.3af, then it will function as 3x3:3. This is the moment I dont get the point of so level PoE consumption. So, at this moment, even though AP is idle, I dont believe that AP is fully functioning with this PoE level. Based on what you say, I need to connect many users, for AP to consume more power and go beyond 15.4W in order to function fully, i.e. with 4x4:3 ?

Deniz · ‎Mar 13 2018

Thanks for reply, Philip! Yes, AP radios were down by default, so once I turned them on it is working now, but I still see that PoE consumption is not in the right level. MS220-8P is the model of switch, and although I turned on both radios, here is the result: PoE usage 6.2 W AT (Advertised 30 W AT) I am using Cisco AP3700 which requires minimum 15.4W, others AP turns down its radios. See "Power Draw" section: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/3700-series-access-point/data_sheet_c78-729421.html The total summary of PoE usage of the switch is below: (1x MR33 and 1xAP3702 are in use) PoE usage Consumption 16.1 W / 124 W Budgeted 60 W / 124 W

Deniz · ‎Mar 12 2018

I am connecting Cisco APs to MS220, and I see that power draw level never exceeds 6W, hence APs shut their radios down and not possible to turn them on. Any idea why this occurs? Output from Meraki Switch: PoE usage 5.6 W AT (Advertised 30 W AT)
