yes.. just checked it out.. the portal works much better on my Mac/Safari browser. I also really like the DeWarp option on one of our fisheye cameras.. nice

From the replies, it seems like this is normal STP behavior. I was worried that the Spanning Tree algorithm was actually disabling and enabling ports.. but it is responding to the ports going into a power-save mode and shutting down or lowering from 1 to 0.1 gbs speed. I found that I could go into the advanced properties of the ethernet port and keep it from powering down.. but I am not concerned; since this is normal behavior. Thanks for the insights.

Have a pretty simple, MX75 with two MS125 switches.. Trunks from MX to each switch. STP Root is SW1. SW2 event log shows static STP but SW1 looks like it is taking ports up and down. Am thinking of just disabling STP as can't imagine why this is happening. MX Trunk to SW1 has allowed: Native Vlan 1 and VLANs 10,20,30. SW1 has uplink port allowing all VLANs. MX Trunk to SW2 has allowed: Native VLAN1 and VLANs 40, 50. SW2 has uplink port allowing all VLANs STP messages below and diagram.. I have no idea why it is changing ports 7 and 17.. They are connected to an Apple iMac and printer.. nothing weird. These changes are going on forever so thinking of just disabling STP altogether. Any thoughts?

It looks like there might be small bug in the MS 125 s/w. Sw1 should not be able to see SW2 as a direct client and not at an address 1.1.1.1. The reporting client list tends to change as I flip between the status pages. Also, I'd expect SW1 to see 3 virtual interfaces of the MX75.. one for 10.10.10.1, one for 10.10.20.1 and one for 10.10.30.1 .. and since I've allowed the native vlan, maybe one for 192.168.128.1.. I'm not sure if I should allow VLAN 1 on the list from the MX75.. I did it to allow management of the SWs from the native VLAN IP of the MX. Operation seems fine, so I hesitate to change things as we are live 7 days a week. I've submitted this as a 'case' so someone can look to see if there might be a bug in the MS125 firmware.

The MX Port that feeds SW1 is shown below to the left. This port carries VLANS 10, 20, 30. VLAN1 is the native for both the MX and Switches.. it was the default and I did not alter it. The Port 1 uplink of SW1 is shown to right and below. Every port on this switch is set to carry VLAN 10, 20 or 30. Now if I look at Port 2 of SW1, I see it is assigned to VLAN 10, but Tags is set to None.. I assumed that if I added a port to a VLAN it would tag it.. so maybe this is wrong.. All ports on the Switches are access except the uplink which is Trunk. MX P4 & SW1 uplink

I've got the following config on my MX75 & MS125s .. these are SW1 and SW2 (VLAN1 is not used for any clients) MX75 P4 - Trunk - to SW1 P1 allowing VLAN 1, 10, 20, 30 MX75 P5 - Trunk - to SW2 P1 allowing VLAN 1, 40, 50 If I look on the Switch status I see.. For SW 1: Port 1 VLAN1 connection to SW2 using IP: 1.1.1.1 Port 1 VLAN1 connection to MX75 at IP: 192.168.128.1 (this is Vlan1 IP) For SW 2: Port 1 VLAN 1 connection to SW1 mac address with no IP address showing (blank) Port 1 VLAN 50 connection 1 to MX75 at : 10.10.50.1 So a few odd things here.. Qt #1: Why is one switch seeing the other switch as a connection on its uplink port (through VLAN1 the native ?) and why 1.1.1.1 Qt #2: why would I see a blank IP address on SW2? Qt #3: Assuming the MX is using virtual interfaces... why do I not see connections on SW1 to the virtual interfaces on the MX (which has 10.10.10.1 & 10.10.20.1 and 10.10.30.1) . SW2 does see 10.10.50.1, but not the 10.10.40.1 .. at least not listed on connections of SW2. Both switches are using DCHP to get management IP from VLAN1 of the mX75 in the range of 192.168.128.x. Just wondering if I've set up the trunks correctly.. I read that VLAN1 should always flow through trunks connected to MS switches..

I only got my MX75 a few weeks ago, but just noticed it is using V16 BETA firmware. I have the NO BETA option checked for all devices. The last non-beta version is V15. When a non-beta V16 comes out, will my MX75 install that? Or will it auto-continue to install V17 betas when they come out? At this point I don’t want to ‘downgrade’ to the V15 stable release, but not sure what I should do to get on the production release when V16 arrives. Dave

> Don’t support LAG/LACP Grin.. well it is a pretty small network.. so performance is not an issue.. one trunk line per switch should be fine.

I’ve mostly worked with Cisco switches in the past 10 years, so pretty used to PVST. And I’ve fed switches from VLAN access lines.. I did that on Meraki stuff and they really don’t like that.. So as suggested, I should be using trunks to each switch with the native VLAN a member and that might clear up the STP ‘unstableness’. I’ve only got 50 active ports between 2 switches so a pretty simple network. I have lots of bandwidth and could use LACP (assuming MX75 supports it) if I needed anything additional. So my issue seems to be my network design rather than lack of feature on the switches.

wow.. am surprised by this.. don't think I've used any managed switch in last 10 years that didn't support MSTP or PVSTP.. wondered why I was getting all kinds of STP traffic flipping ports status' around.. I've got a pretty simple network.. might just turn RSTP off..

This can't be right.. do Meraki switches not support a spanning tree per vlan? I can't imagine turning STP on, if this were the case, in a multiple VLAN.. am I missing something?

We are running all macOS environment for this.. The Vision portal does not seem to run particularly well on either Safari or Firefox..extremely.. I mean, *extremely* slow. I'd prefer not to run Chrome on this machine for performance and security reasons. The Video Wall feature does not work on Safari nor Firefox and there is no 'install' option to install it as a PWA. I think Safari has very limited support for PWAs and by some readings, it looks like Firefox is dropping some of its PWA support.. Its weird that the video wall feature works from the dashboard in Safari or Firefox, but not from the Vision Portal on either browser.. Meraki should bite the bullet and look for a cross-platform development tool for macOS/Windows/Linux. Is the Vision Portal not under the control of the dashboard? That is, if I'm running the Vision Portal link, will it log me off after the idle time.. ? It appears that the URL is identical in the domain .. so I'm not sure the Portal would be a solution anyway.. The docs don't mention the idletimeout in this portal feature. Hard to believe they haven't found a solution in 4 years.. I’ll mark this as the solution. But really there is no solution for this issue.

I'd like the video wall shown continuously without being auto-logged off after the idle time. Is there no way to set this up per user? How does one continuously display the cameras? There was no answer in 2018.. am hoping 3 years later they've tackled this issue.

Super!.. thanks for the detail!..and just what I want, I think.. I'll follow your example.. should fix it. Dave Edit: Your help worked like a charm.. and gives me much more control over the look without having to create and host my own HTML page.

yeah.. the "-appliance" is not part of the network name.. so that is what I want to change

When using the built-in splash screen, one line that cannot be modified is the first line under the logo.. In my case it says: "Welcome to Mariners on Main - appliance" The first part is fine.. the name of our network.. but the "- appliance" is just weird.. that would mean nothing to the user.. any way to delete this? Not sure where the "appliance" name comes from.. I'm guessing the MX75 we have, but it is not the name I've given it.. Any way to mod this line a bit? Dave

I'm brand new to the Meraki world, so maybe this is a basic thing.. I've set up an Org and Network which works fine on the web Dashboard on macOS BigSur.. I can config my MX75, cameras, etc.. When I install the iOS app on my phone, and log in, no network shows up and I get "error occurred while fetching organization info".. I am an org. manager with full rights.. Anything else I need to set up?
