Re: Meraki Releases WIFI 6E AP MR57 is MR56 actually a Faster AP ?

The form factor of the MR57 looks really boring.  The other MR designs feel modern and hip, but this one looks like a PC from the 1980's -- boxy and beige.  Look forward to seeing what the other 6E devices look like as they come out, but this one is a 'no thanks' for me based on looks alone. ...

Re: MX version 17

How much longer do we think it will be before Cisco announces EOL for the MX64? I have a license renewal for a MX64 coming up later this year.   More concerned that they don't EOL but new features or bug fixes won't apply to the MX64. So trying to determine whether to go ahead and order a MX67 now to get ahead of the backlog.   Any thoughts from the team here? ... View more

MR46 vs. MR46E

I understand that the MR46 has internal antennas and the MR46E has external antennas, but what does that mean practically?  Does it give better coverage?  If so, how much better?  What does "better" mean? ... View more

Getting Topology to Work with HPE Aruba 1930 Switch

by ChesterX in Dashboard & Administration
‎01-24-2021 04:06 AM
‎01-24-2021 04:06 AM
Hi. I recently added a HPE Aruba 1930 switch to my installation.    (I have a full Meraki stack -- MX, MS, MR -- with the exception of this switch, and was too good of a deal for me to pass up.)   After I added this switch to my installation, the Topology went bad.  It's not clear to me what settings I need to change in the HPE Aruba 1930 switch in order to "fix" the Meraki Topology view.  I believe that it has to do with LLDP, but I am not clear.  The Meraki Dashboard *sometimes* shows the HPE Aruba 1930 switch as a diamond and says that it is improperly forwarding packets and at other times it disappears from the Topology view entirely!     (The Topology tool is a great tool when it works, but even in a full Meraki stack it has many issues.  Would like to see Meraki invest in fixing the issues OR kill it entirely.  But since it's there, let's get it fixed.)   Thanks! ...

This thread raises an issue that I have filed numerous cases on over time.  While I like how the Dashboard simplifies things and tells me I have a MR 27.5.1 network, for example, please please please have the Dashboard identify the MR devices that top out at 26.8.1, for example.  What a pain this is to re-discover this issue time and time again.   And, while we're on the topic, the MT devices apparently use the same firmware as the MR devices, and the latest two 27.x firmware releases are MT-only and cannot be applied to a MR-only network.  Please please please create a separate MT FW and keep the MR clean.  It's already buggered up enough already (see paragraph above).   Thank you. ...
