Thanks so much for the advice.  I've never messed with APIs before (or Python for that matter).  I guess this is something I need to start getting familiar with.  For now I think I'll run through manual configurations to make sure I don't break anything, but I guess I'm on warning for getting onboard with new ways of doing things.  ...

Moving Switches Between Organizations

This has been mostly covered by other threads I have seen in here, but I can't see where this *exact* scenario has been discussed so I am just verifying before I spend many many hours rebuilding configurations manually.    I have a client with hundreds of switches in the organization.  At one point during their time with us, a voice vendor installed about 30-40 switches in their environment and instead of adding to the existing organization, they just created a new one with the same name. (Don't even get me started).  So this has turned into a licensing nightmare and we really need to get all of the devices under the primary account.   I really just want these switches to stay exactly where they are, keep their configurations, and I want them to be removed from the organization and added to the inventory/networks of another.  It would be so nice if there was a feature where Meraki could "adopt" the existing device configuration, but I know that's not how it works.  So before I start off on this laborious process of re-configuring individual ports and IP info on 30-something switches to look exactly how they do right now, I'm looking for ideas on how to most efficiently do this.   ...

Sorry it's happening to you as well! It almost completely negates the feature. It also negates the status light.   Glad I'm not crazy, but man this is annoying. ... View more

@BlakeRichardson thanks for giving this a shot.  I've never seen it before.  It has to be something with this network specifically because it affects every device.  ... View more

Hi @BlakeRichardson . They are running 27.6.  It is incredibly important for them because of the warehouse setup and inability to reach the access points from high in the air.   ... View more

Hey everyone, this should be a simple question but I can't find the answer to it.  Normally the "Blink LEDs" function on the MR series works perfectly, where the AP blinks when you click it from tools, then stops when you X out of it.  In the newest network I deployed in a warehouse, I have seven MR42s that all refuse to stop blinking after pressing the button, even after I've clicked the X. I went back and checked it after two hours and the blinking continues. Firmware's updated, and the only way i can stop it is by rebooting the device.    Anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?  ...

Re: Offline Warm Spare Resets Network?

Yes possibly. I would have hoped that adding a spare to the dashboard would save those configuration changes and/or packet loss for the time that I actually decide to add the physical device to the network. I love the simplicity of Meraki but there's certainly something to be said for the full granular control I'm used to with an ASA.   ... View more

Don't know if it matters, but I am not using a virtual IP. Merely two separate public IPs. I would think that would keep VRRP from being implemented.  ... View more

Offline Warm Spare Resets Network?

Hello everyone.  I had a interesting event while managing a client's network yesterday. And by "interesting" I mean unexpected and very frustrating.  I can't find any reference to it through googling and I'm wondering if this is isolated or a known/expected behavior.   I have a client that has two locations, each running with a single MX84 with redundant WAN connections.  They recently ordered two new MX84s to act as warm spares.  So while these devices were still in their box I added these devices to their inventory, then to their respective networks as a warm spare, and that's where the fun began.     The moment I added this (still boxed) device all network traffic reset.  Logs showed DHCP leases dropped, VPN tunnels reset, WAN connections reset, the whole package.  It only lasted for 20-30 seconds, but it took place at both locations separately, at separate times, the moment it was added.  Then the client said they wanted to use two different serial numbers instead, and the same thing happened when I removed the devices.    Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything about this in the HA Pair guide MX Warm Spare - High Availability Pair - Cisco Meraki Also, it just doesn't make sense to me that the device would behave in this way when presented with a spare configuration of a device that isn't even connected. No warnings, nothing.  Has anyone else experienced this? ... View more
