"And later this year you’ll be able to manage and configure your Catalyst 9300 switches in the Meraki dashboard."   So will this be "a la MS390" where the ability to access IOS disappears and configuration is only possible via Meraki dashboard?   Or will be Catalyst 9300 management via Merkai in effect modify the IOS config with SSH into IOS remaining available (e.g. for debugging and "advanced config" not available via Meraki dashboard?)   Richard ...

Your AP's also need advanced licensing if you want to apply SGT's to wireless sessions. So basically for full coverage you need: -MS390's in the access layer -MS390's or Cisco Catalyst switches in the distribution and core layer -Advanced licensing on MS390's, MR's -Network advantage licensed catalyst switches -Advanced security license on MX This is not a cheap solution and would only recommended if you fully commit with an ISE installation and perhaps some other solutions for security that can steer ISE sessions if needed. ...

the last RMA we did on an MS390 that was DOA (would not power up after a beta firmware install for ETA /Stealthwatch) took 5 total days to receive that shipped by FedEX Overnight - that was a call on Friday night to support then shipped out to us on Tuesday...  our Sales Rep told us if you buy "Meraki Now" they allocate a specific number of that Hardware Model for RMA to that program vs Warranty RMA..  meaning if an item like MR56 is backordered for Warranty replacement - there is inventory for Meraki Now customers...  (we were looking at 8x5:NBD HW only)  this was only verbal - never saw it in writing  ...

some quick notes on the MS450 with 10G/40G connections on what "works" & "broken" with the latest Beta 15.4 Firmware...  We can connect MS450 to MX95 via 10G using 3rd party 10G SR modules  and the Cisco CVR-QSFP-SFP10G 40G adapter - no problems... (many 3rd party 40G/10G converter modules failed - thankfully we found a Cisco Refresh version of the adapter module but still expensive)..  MS450 to Mellanox NIC with 40G Direct attach 3rd party also works fine..   What is "broken" is trying to link MS450 to MS390 via 40G module (MA-MOD-2X40G) using a Meraki 40G cable MA-CBL-40G-1M no lights nothing... Direct attached cable should work... Support couldn't resolve... the only workaround is to buy two 40G SR-BD modules and your own OM4 Cable which is crazy /expensive  if you only need 1/2 to 1 Meter uplink.. between two switches..   Regarding the MS390 40G to MX95 10G link above even with Meraki SR Modules if you unplug either module and plug back in the Green light comes back on but you cannot ping the other side unless you reboot the MS390 and MX95 - so I think the MA-MOD-2X40G module has some issues on the MS390 ...
