@GreenMan  Thank you! I see it now through the meraki dashboard documentation.   I do not see it in the developers v1.2 documentation: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/ I see it referenced in paths but the link provided is blank: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-network-object-groups   Additionally, I do not see it in the python library: https://github.com/meraki/dashboard-api-python   How quickly is this library brought up to speed with all the APIs in the Meraki Dashboard documentation? ...

Check this out, you can also use Google Docs: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/build/google-forms-with-the-dashboard-api/ Now that you have the CSV file you can make the API call from your script. Loop through all of the Network IDs and change each networks address on each iteration. ... View more

Can you give us more information? What aspects are you trying to update or generate on the VLANs? Are you changing your subnets and IP addressing, Migrating from a class A to a Class C network. etc, changing the VLAN, Generating new VLANs, more than one VLAN per Network or just one, etc.? I would start by pulling all the network ID's, putting it in a CSV file. Then update the CSV file with the subnet that each NetworkID is getting. After that, you can import to Python using the CSV to List module. Sort through all of them and push it out through the API calls. You can then doublecheck your work by GETing the subnets after you updated them and comparing them to your master list. Let me know if this helps. ... View more

Correct. 40 MHz will have a higher throughput.   For example, if we look at speeds for 3 spatial Streams. The fastest theoretical possible speed for a 20 MHz would be: about 300mbps (rounding up) for 40 MHz: 600mbps   assuming that the devices are only downloading, not broadcasting anything else. They are all streaming a super 8K HD video quality or downloading a very large file at the same time. Then each of the 30 clients would be limited to 1/30th of the speed. The average max speeds you would see would be something like this. 40 MHz ~ 20 mbps 20 MHz ~ 10 mbps   So overall you would be able to get better speeds for each client if you had high density and demand like in the example above.   Keep in mind that this is only an example and does not necessarily correspond to the values you will see in your environment. There are other factors that need to be considered when you think of the actual throughput that won't allow you to get the speeds mentioned. Such as half duplex, broadcasting by the AP, interference, etc.   It isn't necessarily that it can handle it better, but more speed will be available. Realistically it is better to operate on 20 MHz because of channel overlap and reducing the available number of channels will reduce the available open channels for the AP to use when it has to back off due to high utilization.    I would recommend you check your environment and run a passive survey, see if any AP is over utilizing the Channel. see what kind of speeds you are getting on the dashboard. To see if you require the boost in speed.   ... View more

@Garrett wrote: The reason I am curios is we are capping devices at 25mbps.    What are these "performance" increases if its already being capped? Are there other performance features besides from just bandwidth speed that 40MHz is improving? No other performance increases would be noticed if you are capping the client and there are a handful of clients, and none are utilizing wireless to the 25mbps cap simultaneously.     You will see a performance increase if you have 30 clients in a classroom and they are all utilizing the wifi to download a large file at the same time.   No other benefits, just speed. More downsides depending on how you utilize and how your environment is. I would recommend viewing your AP status page and seeing how heavily utilized it is.  ... View more

@Garrett wrote: My understanding has always been 20MHz channels for a high density environment in a must.  This gives a more stable wireless network and less chance of channel overlapping. Typically it is recommended that in high-density environments you utilize 20 MHz because you will have multiple APs and you don't want any co-channel interference. Reducing to 20 MHz will allow you to utilize a larger number of channels and you won't have APs utilizing the same channel.   You can utilize 40 MHz Channels with 9 APs utilizing every single 40 MHz channel, in an auditorium for example. The problem here is if some sort of interference or a rogue AP is introduced to your environment. If said device utilizes the channel very heavily then your APs ability to service your wireless clients will be degraded and all clients on that AP will experience poor or slow connections.   The above example was for an auditorium, where high density is expected and APs would be within audible distance of each other. Now if you have a more spread out building system, 1 classroom per building/bungalow, you can get away with the APs utilizing 40 MHz. The reason being is that the APs will be at a fairly good distance from each other. So if some sort of interference or rogue AP is introduced that utilizes the entire channel then the AP will be able to move to another Channel with Meraki's AutoChannel. With this, of course, you would have other factors to determine. Like how many audible APs are at a particular location, how strong is it broadcasting, how is the channel overlap, etc. And you would have to run a predictive or have someone run a passive survey.   It would depend on your environment whether you can get away with running 40 MHz. How close are your classrooms, how thick are your walls, any RF interference, how many floors, etc. Which would involve some sort of wireless survey.   @Garrett wrote: The argument that is being had is performance. Does 40MHz give better performance? Or does it not matter since we are limiting devices speeds anyway?  This will depend on what you are limiting the clients too and how many clients you are anticipating per classroom. Utilizing that you can determine if the 20 MHz channel will provide enough throughput. You also have to consider if every single device will be downloading/uploading at that speed simultaneously. But yes, utilizing 40 MHz will essentially double your speed if your environment permits.  ... View more

@AlainODeaSB Did you edit the firewall rules on the SSID? Wireless-> Firewall & Traffic Shaping You need to make sure they are edited on the "MyCompany-Corp" SSID.   Do your printers and speakers need to be on the same subnet as the clients? Such as a Chromecast Audio.   If you do not want your Clients talking with each other on the "MyCompany-Corp" consider the following: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Firewall_and_Traffic_Shaping/Wireless_Client_Isolation You would enable the SSID as Bridge Mode and enable the Layer 2 isolation. Per the DOcument: "Any traffic bound for an address on the same VLAN as a device in client isolation will be denied. Traffic bound for other VLANs will be forwarded and routed normally."   ...

For whatever reason, it does not like Version 2 when I run the code. I changed it to run on Version 3 and it worked.    Using VSC and the code runner you are utilizing. Try running the following Commands to determine what version it is using to execute to script: import sys print(sys.version_info)   If you are using Code Runner on VSC, you want to add the following to the settings.json file: "code-runner.executorMap": { "python": "<fully qualified path to version 3>" } This will change the default python version for Code Runner to Version 3.     I usually use Atom and didn't have any problems. I installed VSC and tried it with Code Runner and immediately had issues. I had already pointed Atom to use python3, when I used other methods to run it on 2 I got the same error message. ...

Ok, the issue is that you can't have your script in the same folder as meraki.py.   I took a look at the code and the reason it failed the first time when you put it in the same folder as meraki.py is that the code assumes the remainder of the modules are under the meraki folder.  By running your script on the same folder as meraki.py file then that means you are in the meraki folder and therefore the path of the script starts there. So you would have to change the path in order for it to work, because it references the folder it is in. Or you can just run it outside the folder. (I would recommend this so you don't have to change anything in the modules). That is why it failed and you get the error "No module named 'meraki.decorators'".   Apologies, oversight on my part.   Another thing I noticed when it did work for you, you are importing the file "meraki.py". What you really want to import is the Class object "Meraki" it is case sensitive.    So you have to import it as: from meraki.meraki import Meraki the first meraki tells the folder, the second tells the File name, the import functions states that it wants to import something from the file. And the "Meraki" states what you want to import.   Try running this in your testsdk.py: from meraki import meraki x_cisco_meraki_api_key = 'x_cisco_meraki_api_key' ##CHANGE this to your Meraki API key client = Meraki(x_cisco_meraki_api_key) organization_id = 'organizationId' ##CHANGE this to an OrganizationID you are using to test admins_controller = client.admins result = admins_controller.get_organization_admins(organization_id) print (result) ##You will see the admins of the Organization printed in a Dictionary format. It will fail because the import is not correct. In order to utilize it in your "testsdk.py" script you will have to change the following line client = Meraki(x_cisco_meraki_api_key) to    client = meraki.Meraki(x_cisco_meraki_api_key) since you need to call the Class Object in that file in order to create this variable. And anytime you utilize it you will have to call it with "meraki." leading that call. As shown above.    it is easier if you just use the following to import: from meraki.meraki import Meraki so you don't have to call "meraki.Meraki" every time you call the Meraki object. It is a matter of preference.    Try the following with the corrected import: from meraki.meraki import Meraki x_cisco_meraki_api_key = 'x_cisco_meraki_api_key' ##CHANGE this to your Meraki API key client = Meraki(x_cisco_meraki_api_key) organization_id = 'organizationId' ##CHANGE this to an OrganizationID you are using to test admins_controller = client.admins result = admins_controller.get_organization_admins(organization_id) print (result) ##You will see the admins of the Organization in a Dictionary format. You will see the admins of the organization.   It'll be easier getting the "organizationId" from postman.   Let me know if you have any other questions, sorry for the error earlier. I didnt realize the imports assumed it was being called from a different folder. ... View more

@Naimro    You can do the above as everyone has stated. Set the Wireless SSID to Meraki DHCP and create the SSID that way. Meraki will do all the work for you and assign a subnet for the guests, you will not have any input as to what subnet you can use except that it will be in the Class A subnet of 10.0.0.0/8. This will not allow any communication within the members of this VLAN, but they will be allowed to talk to anything on your wired LAN if you permit, you can go into the SSID Firewall settings and edit its access as you require. Note that if you require the clients to have access to things such as a chromecast or apple tv for presentations this will probably not be a route for you.     If you want more control then it will be a bit more work on your end. You can create the VLAN and restrict any local LAN access, or allow depending on your firewall settings. Utilizing this method will allow you to choose a more specific VLAN and add other devices to that VLAN that your Guests will require access to. Here's an example to block a particular VLAN (this allows access within the VLAN but not to my local network):   Furthermore, if you need to change the access of the wireless clients by denying specific content per your company policy. You can do that on a per SSID basis under "Firewall & traffic shaping" in Wireless section and it will work on that Guests SSID without affecting the rest of your network, if you do it on the "Security & SD-WAN" it will apply to your entire network traffic, not on a per SSID basis.   Basically, if you require more control and have to implement other devices into the Guest VLAN then I would recommend creating a VLAN for this Guest Network applying all firewall rules to segregate the traffic.  Otherwise if you just require them to be on a segregated network without impacting your local network, go with the Meraki DHCP option, it's easy and simple to deploy and you can tie in additional layer 7 rules.  ...

I can also confirm that disabling 802.11k solves the reconnecting issue. I tested it and di not have any problems while on 26.2 with 802.11k disabled.    I also received the following explanation from support:   "The MR sends a standard 802.11k action frame to the client device requesting it to reply back with a report of beacons seen in the area and instead of immediately replying back stating that it's too busy to scan (per the standard) or scanning and replying promptly, it agrees to do the scan and it takes a long time (several seconds) and during this time duration the performance degrades and the call enters the 'reconnecting' loop because the client is scanning off the channel.   In the monitor mode pcap if you observe at the time stamps when we get the 'reconnecting' error you will see that the client has sent a null data frame with 'power management=1' which implies that the client device is informing the AP that it is entering sleep mode. According to the U-APSD standard when the client station informs the AP that it has entered sleep mode the AP buffers all the frames which are intended for the client station until the client station sends another null data frame to the AP with 'power management=0' which implies that the client is awake again and then the AP sends the data buffered for that client device. The duration wherein the client station is going into the sleep mode is the duration where the call enters 'reconnecting' state.   Hence when we add a configuration on the backend to disable 802.11k to mitigate the client side behavior, the 'reconnecting' behavior is not observed. This configuration is added on the backend of the AP on a per SSID basis and needs to be added by Support."   ... View more
