Hi @SLR,    As stated earlier, it would be advisable to confirm that your DHCP server is receiving the DHCP Discover messages, preferably via packet capture. Once that is confirmed, you could take a few additional captures from the DHCP server back down to the AP to determine if the DHCP messages are getting back to your client, and if not, where they are being dropped. You can then focus your troubleshooting efforts at the last hop the DHCP communications are seen.  ... View more

Find out why the internet is not reachable over that link. Is the MX port up? Is the router/modem up? is the WAN side of the router/modem up? Is there anything in the Event Log?   Just standard troubleshooting really. Sorry cant be of much more help than that.   ... View more

Hello,   as the new firmware is in Beta and doesn't support some features like multicast over LAN, Could you please tell me, how long does it take to get a productive version of MX16.x Firmware? We need to run anyconnect on our devices but as long as the firmware Beta version is, we can not use it in the production world.   Best Regards!       ... View more

16 Hrs is not possible for someones shift hence why the confusion in the numbers. I kind of figured the 2 was not cumulative but was not sure.  I am just trying to figure out how Meraki totals the Active Time to make more sense of it. ... View more

I've dealt with this using a workaround for locations without an upstream firewall. Workaround: Apply a traffic shaping rule to limit bandwidth on port 53 and other ports that might be used by a VPN. Users attempting to bypass splash pages to access the internet over VPN will not likely use your network if they only get 100 Kbps. Real Solution: Use an upstream MX or other firewall to block VPN attempts on port 53. Make sure not to block your DNS server such as 8.8.8.8. Root Cause: When client devices connect to the MR they are placed in a captive portal policy and the MR firewall rules (L3 and L7) do not get applied to the client devices until after they authenticate with the captive portal. However the traffic shaping rules are indeed applied to clients, and you can limit the throughput of VPN traffic. Documentation error: In my testing, MR Traffic shaping rules are indeed applied before splash page authentication. "When splash page authentication is configured, captive portal strength settings take precedence over configured traffic shaping and firewall rules. This means traffic shaping and firewall rules will only apply after Splash page authentication has occurred successfully."

If the device is online you should be able to manage it through the Meraki website.  The link will start with something like https://n123.meraki.com   When you login with your dashboard credentials (you will have needed to set up a dashboard account to claim the license for the mx100) you should see the web portal monitoring and configuration pages.   Did you get a license with the device? ...

Hello Randhall,   Many thanks for the update ! I'm currently checking what were the improvements in MR26.x and I see interesting things, such as: - Bug fixe in MR26.1: Facebook app not blocked by Layer 7 firewall rules (All MRs)   "My" current version is MR25.14, but the next available Stable candidate is MR26.6.1. I will check this. Regards. ... View more

How long have organisations resisted upgrades to Win 10? Do they downgrade new laptops and workstations to Win 7 from Win 10? Chicken-Little springs to mind. Microsoft ends Windows 7 support: What should you do? The UK government has admitted that Win 7 is insecure (they allege the ransoming of National Health Service could not have happened if hospitals were running Win 10). Win 7 has been branded as unsafe for online use. So it is "OK" for hospitals? Duh, they live in an online world (well their clinical staff do, the administrators are another matter entirely). There are some interesting costs set out in the BBC article, Australians would be interested. ... View more

Since the AP's are not in the same area you may be ok but I still would be worried about devices seeing both ap and jumping back and forth and dropping. Hopefully, someone else can chime in but I think you should be good. ... View more

Looks good to me, although I think you can (maybe should?) turn off the radius override stuff for this test. Also assuming there are not any other access points involved, should be fine leaving the 'all other APs' to 1 as well. ... View more

So I am on shard n180.  When I was on the phone with support yesterday it took 25 minutes per change.  We tried several networks to confirm it wasn't specific to a site.  We have the same firewall's everywhere and normally these changes take less than a minute.  Support concluded that there is definitely something wrong in the back end and she kicked the ticket up.  I will keep you guys informed.  ...

@SLR If you are connecting with WPA-PSK this does not apply.  This is only relevant if you want to add your phone/handheld devices to the corporate wifi that uses Radius with domain authentication.  Hope this helps. ... View more
