Hello I have access to a few organizations and networks, all with different MXs, Switches, APs and Cellular gateways. I am a little confused by the management of firmware. The consistency of auto firmware upgrade seem to be random. (1) From my analysis some devices seem to auto upgrade, where some do not. This is despite some devices being on the old version for 1+ years. I have read community posts that specify that the auto update doesn't run until the update has been out for quite a time. (a) Is there a defined period when that the update will run, 1month, 1 quarter, 6months, 1 year? (I am not asking about day and time, as defined in the upgrade window). (b) Is there a reason why an auto upgrade doesn't happen if the upgrade window is set the same? (2) We have a risk adverse client. If there is a single large site with say 12 switches, 50 APs etc, is there a way of scheduling an upgrade to a smaller portion of those devices first (day 1) and then the remaining the following evening/week?

Thanks for the response - I assumed as I could not configure or see VLANs on the Trunk (WAN1) the one armed concentrator was not feasible. But the VLAN ID is specified at the AP end and then magic just happens..

I want to be able to tunnel multiple SSIDs (3+) from several sites to a central concentrator. At the concentrator I want these SSIDs to exit the router on an individual/separate VLAN. Q1. Am I correct in assuming that I cannot use one-armed/passthrough configuration and I must use Routed due to multiple SSIDs? If using routed mode I configure the upstream/WAN interface as normal, and then I configure an IP interface per SSID for the downstream unencrypted traffic. Q2. Is the IP subnet I configure on the MX the subnet of the hosts in this SSID (I notice the Meraki documentation shows a /30 subnet which suggest otherwise). Q3. Can I configure the DHCP for the SSID subnet on the MX or does it have to be on a downstream device (as per passthrough)? Q4. Is the gateway for the SSID subnet the MX or a separate downstream device?

We now using templates for our deployment as, for this customer, the benefits of a Template outweigh the limited flexibility. We have deployed a POC, created a multi-device template and now working on our first couple of site deployments via that Template. Our template has alerts configured, and I notice alert configuration is not available at a network level. Unfortunately alerts are being generated before the site(s) go live (i.e. during provisioning and testing) which is causing a large amount of frustration between implementation and operational teams. I am unable to turn off the alerts, at the template level as this will impact any operational and template bound networks. Within the Dashboard, is there a way to remove alerting from a specific, template bound, network until such time that network is operational?

I have 2 MXs, and internet link and a MG21 cellular gateway. I've configured the internet (WAN1) as the primary link and load balancing is disabled. I still see some traffic on the backup link via the MG21 cellular gateway, more than I was expecting. Is there anyway to reduce the 'keepalive' traffic on the backup link? Note: I don't mind increasing failover times (within reason), if I reduce cellular costs.

I have 2 MX67s, a cellular gateway, and an internet link. I will be configuring access via (1) autovpn to other Meraki sites (2) Direct Internet Access -DIA (3) 3rd party VPN. Both MXs will connect directly to the cellular gateway and internet. I am configuring VIPs on the WAN links. I know the AutoVPNs and DIA will failover between MXs and between WAN links. Will the 3rd party VPN also provide the same failover functionality?
