Thanks. A lot of interesting information with regards to "the MS210 and above" etc. but most of this information is outside the scope of my rather simplistic question.   My question is only one small part of a larger overall redesign of an overly complex network. But all I really want to know at this point is this one thing. How this "Routing & DHCP" feature works.   You said it, "supports being a DHCP forwarder". Yes, I know that, it states that clearly on the page. But exactly how it does that I don't fully understand. Why do I have to define a new "interface" with an IP address to enable DHCP forwarding? Do I just pick any available/unused IP address. ... View more

1. Yes it is an MS120. 2. You are correct, it does not really have layer 3 capabilities but apparently there is a limited layer 3 feature on a link called "Routing & DHCP". The 'brilliant' Meraki tech that replied when I asked how this feature works said the switch is capable of "both layer 2 and layer 3"  -  which is complete rubbish. 3. Yes, the 3750 does have configured layer 3 interfaces. 4. Yes, I know that I will need another device on which to define these interfaces. I have a Meraki MX84 for that.   In the meantime I would really like to get a clear explanation from someone at Meraki or in the 'community' what the "Routing & DHCP" feature actually does. (I understand to a point, but am not clear on exactly how it works)   Here is what the page looks like: ... View more

I wish!   I inherited a small network with (too) many Vlans. Eventually, I will be consolidating. But, at this point all I am doing is replacing 2 aging Cisco 3750s with the Meraki. Mostly things are working, but still lacking connectivity do the 'General User' Vlan which is the one I need to access the most and is where the DHCP server lives (on a Server 2012)   I came across the 'Routing & DHCP' feature and thought perhaps this would be helpful in the overall scheme of things, but hard to say, since I am not 100% clear how this feature works. (Would be helpful if Meraki would create documentation that corresponded to specific features - unless I just cant find it) ... View more

That makes sense to some degree, but I am still uncertain (especially since I cannot find documentation anywhere). I am used to assigning a 'next hop' hop interface or 'default gateway' so clients no how to get to the Internet or to another subnet; but just creating an "interface" with no subnet mask or anything else seems strange. I assume what I am supposed to do is to assign an unused IP address to the switch but is it supposed to be an IP within the Vlan the switch is on or within the Vlan that the DHCP server is on? I feel like all I can do is make an educated guess. I am familiar with an ip-helper on a Cisco router, but I don't thing this is the same thing. I am still unclear how this actually works. ...
