Hi dstrejo, This seems to be very common issue. For future reference I would like to highlight the following documentations - https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Understanding_and_Configuring_Management_VLANs_on_Cisco_Meraki_Access_Points More detail explanation with examples - https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Client_Addressing_and_Bridging/VLAN_Tagging_on_MR_Access_Points In general, Meraki APs have two types of traffic: Their own management traffic (Management VLAN) - any Cisco Meraki device will send upstream to the cloud controller - that's the IP address of the AP's Summary page (under Wireless > Monitor > Access Points > (AP's name)). It is important to ensure that the MR's traffic will be put on the appropriate VLAN, typically a dedicated management VLAN for cloud-bound traffic. Client traffic - When client devices connect to the SSID(s) either when you have a network with multiple VLANs or one VLAN different than the Management VLAN. Point 1 - If a native VLAN is configured on an upstream 802.1Q trunk port, then ensure the access point's VLAN tag is not the same VLAN ID as the Native VLAN. Specifying the same VLAN ID would tell the access point to tag its management traffic with that VLAN ID, which would likely cause it to be dropped by the upstream trunk port. Point 2 - If a VLAN ID is specified, management traffic from the AP will be sent out with an 802.1q tag for that VLAN ID. In this case it is expected that return Management traffic should also be tagged appropriately. VLAN IDs can be configured so that the management interface of a MR gets an IP on a specific VLAN. Point 3 - If a VLAN ID is NOT specified, management traffic from the AP will be sent out without an 802.1q tag for that VLAN ID. When the VLAN field it's empty, that DOES NOT mean that the AP won't receive an IP address, it means that the switchport native VLAN control what the Management VLAN is. Point 4 - If SSIDs are not tagging specific VLANs, then the Management VLAN will also be used for client traffic. This error message is for APs - This device is using a DHCP IP address from VLAN instead of using configured VLAN", which is similar for MS switches - https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Network_Alerts_and_Notifications/Dashboard_Alerts_-_Configuration_Issues#Device(s)_VLAN_Mismatch If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
