Is dhcp snooping configured on the switch? If yes is the uplink to your DHCP server trusted? Also perhaps try „no ip dhcp snooping information option“ if using that feature. Can you post a screenshot of the SSID config (the VLAN tagging section) and the current switchport configuration? And last but not least if this is a new VLAN: Does the vlan 3 actually exist on the switch? „show vlan id 3“ ... View more

There's an EoS (End of Sale) and EoL (End of Life) date. Usually for EoS devices you can order renewal licenses for a while, I *think* until the device is EoL. For example we have customers using MX60 and bought a 3y license back then. Now, 3y after that, they can renew (you can still order the licenses for those old devices) or upgrade to a new MX (+new license), depending on access speed and other circumstances it might be better to upgrade. The point is, license renewals can be ordered for quite a while, even when the underlying device is EoS. ... View more

How exactly did you determine the state of the VPN? Usually IPSec devices (including Meraki) only establish a tunnel if there is traffic over the VPN, i.e. one packet from site A to site B is enough to trigger a reconnect. I just wanted to rule out this one. Did you call support btw? Sometimes there's suprisingly good 🙂 P.S. Just wondering: Who sold you just *one* MX450 if it's that important? The second MX does not need a license btw. As you described it, lives are at stake here 🙂 ... View more

As many are saying you should be able to easily add a VLAN on the Sophos FW to be used for the camera. But if for whatever reasons you can't (or are not allowed to) don't worry. It's not like the camera is going to do something bad to your network or other clients. Also clients trying to "hack" into your camera is IMHO an unlikely scenario. But consider this: If you want to look at camera footage and are not able to directly communicate with the camera (by putting it on a VLAN without access to other VLANs) then your video feed will go over the WAN (only while looking at it, that's the beauty of storage on the cameras). Also there are some features like fast-forward which are not available to you if you only have a cloud connection to the cams. If you have one single cam that's probably not an issue, but depending on your WAN something you want to consider. Cheers! ... View more

Awesome, glad to hear about the API key 😉   So either the Meraki server where your org is hosted really has problems now or you malformed the request. In the latter case I think you should get another error, but not sure since it never failed on me with this error message 🙂   Also you might want to consider using the shard URL like "n172.meraki.com" instead of "api.meraki.com". In my experience using the shard node directly works better than following redirects.   I hope that helps 🙂   Cheers!   P.S. Do not worry too much about REST, the API is IMHO fundamentally not RESTful on so many levels (that's a whole different topic[1]). I think it's better to call it JSON API over HTTPS for a better understanding on how it works. Basically you throw JSON at it and it replies in JSON, pretty basic. It's not worse or better than a real REST API, just a different approach.   [1] https://dzone.com/articles/5-easy-to-spot-tells-that-your-rest-api-is-not-res  ... View more
