Thank you for your time spent trouble shooting, and such a detailed write up. Out of interest do you see less aggressive roaming after your change or just a quicker roam with no impact?

We are having the same issue running 29.4.1 on MR56. As above mainly noticed by customers whilst on Teams calls that drop and take a long time to reconnect. This seems to correspond with a roam and re-authentication. We have seen improvements on customer experiences when changing the SSID from layer 3 to Bridge mode and enabling 802.1r. The excess frame loss messages are still seen in the logs but the customer experience seems to be improved. Given the number of people posting here I can't imagine that everyone is in layer 3 mode, so this might be coincidental, but it feels like it may have been beneficial for us so far. But it is still only a week or so since we started moving sites to this setup.

Thanks for the reply and for sharing your thoughts, it is much appreciated. I worded it slightly wrong in that we would have 800 clients per floor. In very specific circumstances as an absolutely maximum we might have 800 corporate devices connected to the 5ghz per floor. Non-corporate devices would be connected to the 2.4ghz guest network. But 800 would be a very unlikely theoretical maximum. I'd expected 400 people per floor was a more likely 'norm'. And of course they wont choose to space themselves evenly. Hence the need for quite a few APs. If cost allows then we will be providing 1gig cdr on a 10gig bearer, but unless applications come along that are very bandwidth intensive I don't anticipate us getting to 10gig any time soon. As you suggest the WAN links are the likely bottleneck for some time.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am anticipating that we will do something similar with the MR57s. We currently use MS225s elsewhere and it also seems the most likely option. It will be at least a couple of years until we have clients that can fully utilise 6ghz as well.

Good evening all I was looking for some advice/opinions please. I have seen similar posts put they are a couple of years old and I'm wondering if people's experiences or opinions have changed in that time? We are shortly moving into a location that is a 'landscraper', only two floors but they are pretty large. Density of occupancy could be in the region of 800 5ghz clients per floor, and will need in the region of 40 APs per floor depending on what the surveys come back with. So we are looking at 20mhz channels. The vast majority of our traffic is O365, Teams etc with local internet break out, so the amount of local LAN traffic is minimal. There will be two active/active 1gbps WAN connections. We are looking at having some element of future proofing and are investigating the possibility of mgig switches (MS350?) and MR57 APs (currently using MR56 throughout the rest of the estate). Our current laptops do not support wireless 6e but I would expect future devices to. Has anyone done anything similar, I appreciate this kit is relatively new so might not be widely used, or have any thoughts on whether we would be better spending on additional APs? I suspect the that traffic generated at present would not require Mgig technology, but it would be a shame to buy ms225 or ms250 switches and then have to move to MS350 or similar down the line. Any opinions and advice gratefully received. Thanks

sorry, to clarify this is administrators logging into the dashboard not user connections to wireless network

Hello all After receiving an email from Meraki about unauthorised logins we are looking into how we can export our login attempt logs to a syslogger or similar. Has anyone done this previously or know if it is possible? We can't see an option to export the logs in this way. Thanks

If you are whitelisting MAC addresses make sure that the MAC address that is shown on the camera (both on the label and the dashboard) is the one that is being seen when trying to connect. The dhcp server might be seeing a different MAC address. If you see dhcp failures check what MAC address it is coming from

Apologies for the delayed update. The solution from @GreenMan was exactly what was required and worked perfectly. Thank you for your help

Thanks so much for your reply. That looks to be exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I have an opportunity to give it a try I will report back.

Good afternoon all, I hope you're well Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (or I've missed the blindingly obvious) but I wasn't able to find anything in the search. We currently have a splash page setup for guests (portal A) using sign on with Meraki Cloud authentication, which is authenticated by a username and password (username A). We are now looking at the possibility of setting up an additional portal (portal B) with a separate username/password combination (username B). Each portal will have it's own SSID which the splash page will be linked to. My question is how do I tie username A to portal A and username B to portal B. Or will any user/password combination that is authorised for SSID by able to sign into either portal? Realistically they are both just giving guest access so that wouldn't be the end of the world but it would be nice for it to seem as though they were differentiated. Any suggestions gratefully received Thanks

We ran the packet capture yesterday and can see the DHCP discovery packet being generated on the MS225 port and being processed by the Ms410, but then the process stop, there are no further dhcp packets from the MS410. I've raised a support case on the back of this. Thanks for your help

Thank you, yes DHCP is setup, and has worked for one device in the past. The port is setup as an access port, and a statically assigned address in that range works when connected to the port, it just doesn't give DHCP

yes that is correct, configure an access port for all other vlans works ok, but the trouble vlan doesn't give an IP address. and yes 410 is the layer 3 doing dhcp with uplinks to a pair of ms225s Apologies I marked this as a solution rather than hitting reply

Thanks for the reply. The default policy is set to allow dhcp servers. Unfortunately our MS410s only hves fibre sfps, and no spare ports to plug a new device into. But I will certainly try stopping/starting dhcp for the vlan. Thank you.

I'm hoping someone may have seen an issue we are having, or perhaps be able to help. We have MS410 switches running DHCP with dual uplinks to MS225s across a number of floors. We are running separate wireless and wired vlans on each floor. DHCP is working for all VLANs expect for one wired vlan. One device has been given a dhcp address some time ago, and continues to renew it's lease, but subsequent attempts are failing, with no IP address being assigned. Any devices given a static IP address within the DHCP scope connect without issue, the DHCP scope is hardly used so the scope is not full. The DHCP settings match the other scopes that are working correctly. It is as if the DHCP server is offering an address, but not getting a response from the client, but the same client will receive an IP address on any other vlan. I've tried making, and reverting, a small change to the dhcp settings to try and give the scope a kick - grasping at straws. Any suggestions or observations would be much appreciated.
