Hi, I'm looking for any advice, real life gotchas etc re configuring iPSK for around 6 separate user groups, each group is to have its own unique VLAN and QoS policy applied. Does the following configuration seem reasonable?   Thanks      Practical Implementation Steps: To configure a unique VLAN and QoS policy per iPSK group, follow these steps: Create iPSK Groups: In the Meraki Dashboard, navigate to Wireless > Access control. Choose the SSID you want to configure and scroll down to the PSK (Pre-shared key) section. Select "Multiple PSKs with identity-based group policies". Define the iPSKs and associate each with a specific Group Policy. Create Group Policies: Go to Network-wide > Group policies. Create a new Group Policy for each iPSK group. Within each Group Policy, specify the VLAN ID that devices using this policy should be placed into. This is done in the VLAN tagging section. Configure QoS Policies in Group Policies: While still editing the Group Policy, scroll down to the Traffic shaping rules section. Here, define Traffic Shaping Rules to prioritize certain types of traffic or limit bandwidth usage as needed. For example, you can prioritize voice traffic or set bandwidth limits for each device or application type. Save the settings. Assign Group Policies to iPSK Groups: Ensure each iPSK is correctly mapped to its corresponding Group Policy in the Access control settings of the SSID. ... View more

Does anyone know if WPN will be supported on the Catalyst APs when "managed" via the Dashboard? Also does anyone have a simple feature supported list for Catalyst APs and switches when managed/monitored by Dashboard i.e. what you lose e.g. environmental munitioning, USB port on APs and say virtual stack wise, BGP, granular QoS, Netflow on Catalyst? I have asked several people at Cisco and it seems too early to be asking   Thanks  ... View more

Hi community, we are deploying more and more enterprise size networks, e.g. 100+ switches with dual power supplies and stacking cables. The sheer amount of packaging is excessive, each secondary power supply is shipped within its own box, each stacking cable ships in a plastic bag, with plastic end cable protectors plus a linen bag too. Each power cable also ships linen bag.….why? We have literally thrown away hundreds of unrequired packaging items.   Can Meraki look at replacing plastic with recyclable card based packaging, the high-density foam within switch boxes could also be replaced with a corrugated card style product?    Meraki provide great products and solutions, leading the way in simplifying the complex, please look at leading the industry in respect to reducing unnecessary waste and becoming eco friendly...thanks       why? ...

Hi, I have a client who has set-up their networks in Dashboard and claimed over 900 APs into the inventory, but not assigned them to any network as yet. The client has physically labelled each AP with a device name, which matches a serial number which will be deployed within a specific network. e.g. AP-001, serial xyz, network New York. They have repackaged all the labelled APs for shipment.   I have the serial numbers of the APs per site, a small site has 32 APs, a large one over 300, all I want to do is assign the APs on mass to each of their appropriate networks which match the client labelling. However when I search the inventory I do not seem to be able to enter multiple serial numbers into the search field..   I need a way of been able to enter the AP serial numbers for an entire site into the inventory, select them and assign to the correct network. Is this possible without using Puppet, then to assign names to the APs on mass. Is it easier to delete the network and start again using the bulk import tool?   Many thanks ... View more

Hi I have been looking at the Meraki Dashboard and various document and can't seem to see if the following is possible?   How to apply two separate Radio profiles to one AP, e.g. a  Corporate SSID set for 5 Ghz only connectivity and a Guest SSID to allow both 2.4 and 5 Ghz clients. When selecting an AP in Dashboard and then applying a profile e.g. 5 Ghz Corporate , only one profile can be applied.  ... View more

I'm starting this post just to ensure that there are no gotchas etc with the following:   A large multi-regional MX based network with some sites provisioned with a single Internet connection, while other more critical site have two. Only Internet circuits will be used to create a corporate WAN, regional data centres having MX HA pairs acting as the VPN hubs.   All traffic will be routed to the regional hub / data centre sites where Internet connectivity is managed via a Palo Alto service the client insists on using i.e. no local Internet breakout / split tunnelling is permitted   The ISP is providing "service levels" in respect to latency and QoS over the Internet connections. Traffic levels are not expected to be particularly high, hence MX65, MX100 will be used for the spoke sites with MX250 and above for the regional data centres.   Are there any known issues with mixing SD WAN spoke ( where multiple ISP connections exist) and auto VPN branch offices (singe ISP) connection configurations, as SD WAN sits on top of auto VPN I was assuming not?   Is is still best to deploy the spoke sites in NAT mode and the DC VPN hub in passthrough, if there is a relevant CVD or case study, apologies I have missed this!  ...
