As has been said above, this is an expected behaviour. There is no way to 'disconnect' the access point upon WAN failure.   Your best bet is to sure up your WAN connection with a more stable service or multi-WAN redundancy. ... View more

Layer 7 firewall rules don't differentiate 'Facebook Messenger' from 'Facebook', likely because Meta has so tightly integrated the two apps. ... View more

Yes, it's not uncommon to have switches in between the ISP NTU and the MX WAN ports, particularly when multiple ISP links are involved.   While Meraki switches can be used if setup correctly, some people suggest non-Meraki or unmanaged switches as it's easier for both:  - Accurate client statistics in the Meraki dashboard  - Management traffic flow from the WAN switches ...

Telstra and fast support are not words often found together 😂 Jokes aside,  as @alemabrahao suggested, checking the local status page is your best bet. Cisco Meraki Local Status Page: MS Switches - Cisco Meraki Documentation   It should tell you the state of the connection back to the dashboard. From there, you can probably figure out if it's an issue on your side or on Telstra's. ... View more

Not exactly a memory but... I joined the community to learn as I'd just started working at a place who were transitioning to Meraki. It was an absolutely invaluable experience for me as just by being a part of the community, both learning from and answering posts, I was able to skill up really quickly. I was genuinely amazed when I was asked to join the all-stars and be part of the group of people who seemed to know Meraki inside and out, but I never felt out of place. Although life circumstances mean I'm less active than those days, the community still means a lot to me. It would have been great to meet more people (including the amazing community team) in person, but I'll settle for bumping into @PhilipDAth at Cisco Live. And thanks @AmyReyes and the rest of the team for making it a special place - far more than just a message board. Hoping your hard work and legacy can continue shining even after the transition. ...

Agreed this sounds like bad flash mem - although weird if it actually thinks it wrote the file successfully. I'm not super familiar with what options you have when cloud managed, but are you able to attempt writing to a different file?   Eg. copy run flash:test ... View more

Reading your question another way; if the printer and client are physically connected elsewhere downstream and you're just asking whether you can configure a port to allow both of those VLAN's in Meraki switches, yes - setting it as a trunk port will achieve this. ... View more

Agreed with @alemabrahao  - if you can provide a topology, it will be easier to provide some suggestions. ... View more

Try a swapping out the power cable or PDU if you've got known good ones. Failing that open a support case as it's possible the switch is faulty ... View more

Agreed with all of the above. Look at the security appliance event logs and see what is logged when the client tries. It is very likely to be either L7 firewall rule or content filtering. ... View more

While I can't explain why the behaviour would change with a firmware upgrade, the documentation is pretty clear around which port should be used.     https://documentation.meraki.com/Wireless/Install_and_Get_Started/Installation_Guides/CW9178I_Installation_Guide#Extending_the_LAN ... View more

That is A LOT of fixed issues! Also this one seems like a painfully niche issue: A NM-2Y 25Gbps interface on C9300-48UXM connecting to Nexus 93180YC-EX fails to establish the link with default Meraki management config (FEC auto/25Gbps). ... View more

You're not seeing the switching option as it's not added to your network. As @alemabrahao mentioned, you'll need to login to the Meraki portal, add the device to inventory along with a license (if you haven't already done so) and then assign it to your network. ... View more

This explains why switches take so long to upgrade! I usually run them overnight and so don't notice, but I had to do one in a maintenance window recently and I was surprised it took so long while everything else was so quick. TIL ... View more

Yep. Sounds to me like STP convergence time. Logs on the switch should be able to confirm that. ... View more

As @alemabrahao indicated, it certainly seems to be a seen behaviour. It's feasible that the issue may be due to the following known issue:   Link aggregates may take some time to be reinitialized when a switch stack failover occurs. During this time traffic traversing the link aggregate will be interrupted.   From what I can tell, that known issue doesn't seem to be present in the 17.5.4 release notes, so it may be fixed there. However, I don't think anyone in the community has performed the testing to validate that. ... View more

I saw these in the license calculator and was wondering if I missed the announcement. I agree with @PhilipDAth not particularly pretty. I actually like the look of the original Cisco model better.   One thing to be aware of is that if they're like the C8445 models, they are not interchangeable between Meraki and IOS-XE software:   All C8455-G2-MX or C8455-G2 models continue throughout their life with the same OS personality that they were ordered with. It is NOT possible to convert the Operating System (OS) on the C8455-G2-MX to IOS-XE. Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Cisco Meraki Documentation ... View more

That's the suggestion yes. Replace the MX84 before its End of Support date (Oct 31st 2026) Renew all of your licenses at your co-termed end date (2027)   Depending on when in 2027 your licenses expire, you could potentially look at bundling both of the above actions into one. ... View more
