Is it out or DHCP addressing on that vLan? Addressing and traffic Client IP assignment Try set your SSID To : NAT mode: Use Meraki DHCP Clients receive IP addresses in an isolated 10.0.0.0/8 network. Clients cannot communicate with each other, but they may communicate with devices on the wired LAN if the SSID firewall settings permit.

How about a Meraki NVR for the MV line. - Small form factor NVR size like a Apple TV - Build in 4TB+ Internal HDD for long term retention. - Build in encryption just like the MV + Controlled thru the Meraki portal - MV can record to itself and NVR. - Camera got stolen or destroy? Footage still available on the NVR somewhere secure in the building. No need high bandwidth and costly cloud storage.

I like the new FishEye ALOT !! The demo show very low distortion... I have couple question 1) When i export the video does it export in 360 wrap mode only? Can i export it in de-wrap mode? 2) Does this camera have 4K sensor?

Disabling AMP for 10 min and enable it works for me. Try that.

Hi PhilipDAth, I bought the used Meraki Equipment from the previous owners (Not Stolen) and they did unclaimed it from their dashboard and I claim it on mine without any issue. I was also able to use it for about 5 weeks without noticing any issue. I also bought a full 3-year license which should include "warranty to the device". What I found out is Meraki will not honor the "Lifetime Warranty" part if the equipment if purchased from an unauthorized Meraki seller in this case the owner of the device. I still have the 48 port switch + 2+ years license with me in my office as decoration LOL. Hopefully, Meraki will change some policy and I can RMA the item in the future.

Ideally, we want Meraki to allow us to change of ownership even with a high premium. That's a win-win situation. Meraki earn a new customer + profit and the Used equipment doesn't get wasted in the landfill.

I rather catch a cobra with my bare hand then setting up Meraki client vpn on hundreds of ever changing client. 🤣 🤣 🤣 .. Hopefully 1 day Meraki will create a painless VPN app like Anyconnect.. 😁

Jack · ‎07-25-2018

Thanks PhilioDath as usual for your quick and useful solution... Do i need a RDP gateway if i need to do 2fa since i only have 1 TS?

Jack · ‎07-25-2018

That ADJ switch is the brightest idea ever !!!! Im doing this moving forward... Thank you for the idea !!!

Hi Everyone, I have a 1:1 NAT setup for my outside users to login to my remote desktop server. Recently I notice some Brute Force attack to that server. Any best practice anyone can share to prevent this? Here is what I did so far.... - Layer 7 group policy to only allow 1 country ( still some attack coming within that country) - Complex username / password ( users hate the complexity but a lot harder for a dictionary attack ) - ideally, I could set up only allow trusted IP but most clients do not have static IP / VPN. So anyway within MX that allows me to set maximum connection retry within 1 hours to prevent brute force etc? Any good 3rd party 2fa solution I could use? Thanks in advance..

I suggest blocking all Windows update and use a WSUS server since those things uses a lot of bandwidth.

Jack · ‎06-14-2018

Wow 6MB sharing with 50 - 100 users? Are you using satellite or something? I don't think any QOS will help much. I would block all recreational access if possible and also get a second internet ( 4G LTE cell-based internet) and bond it together..

Maybe you need a USA office just to deal with RMA 🙂

features request: How does Face ID work? Apple uses a combination of infrared emitter and sensor (which it calls TrueDepth) to paint 30,000 points of infrared light on and around your face and also capture flat or 2D infrared snapshots. For the points, the reflection is measured, which allows it to calculate depth and angle from the camera for each dot and construct a depth map.

Jack · ‎06-06-2018

Sure there is no perfect system in the world. But a good surveillance camera design should prevent both smart and savvy thief... All Meraki needs to do is to add an option to allow local NAS ( lock in a more secure room) / cloud storage option ( if bandwidth is not an issue) .

Jack · ‎06-06-2018

hahaha..good one...Or i could also hire a 24 hour security guard with shotgun

Jack · ‎06-06-2018

I agree this will be an extremely rare incident but if a smart thief can identify a Meraki camera and knows that the illegal footage will be lost forever by just removing the camera then they will do it. I'm just thinking out loud like a thief 🙂

Jack · ‎06-06-2018

Me too... I will buy a lot more MV if they have a cloud storage option.... For now, all we could do is to overlap those MV to catch the person who stole the camera unless that thief takes them all.... We also use a lot or Wifi & cell-based Netgear Arlo that support live cloud storage.

Jack · ‎06-06-2018

Great to know all these additional SLA options... I do keep a bunch of Meraki hardware in-hand ( I'm currently managing 50+ Meraki Network) for a quick swap if needed.... and we setup hot spare / VRRP on all mission-critical hardware such as MX Firewall. Another great thing with MERAKI - Hot spare hardware does not require a license or in Cisco terms Smartnet.

I would like to share my 1st AP RMA experience with Meraki yesterday and it was quick, easy and painless 🙂 6-5-2018 1.41PM - Called Meraki Support - Cisco Meraki Technical Support answer the phone within 3 rings ( not a receptionist to route your call depends on severity like many other company does "including Cisco")... After few minutes of quick diagnostic we concluded the hardware needed RMA. Whole process took about 10 min. Same day at 8.21PM the item has been shipped to me via FedEx Priority Overnight ( I was able to unclaim the old AP from my dashboard and claim the new one and set them name / location etc from home) 6-6-2018 9.30AM i reveived the replacement AP from Fedex with a return lable. 6/06/2018 - Wednesday 9:21 am Delivered Fairfax, VA Delivered to address other than recipient 9:21 am Delivery exception HERNDON, VA Customer not available or business closed 7:59 am On FedEx vehicle for delivery HERNDON, VA 7:41 am At local FedEx facility HERNDON, VA 6:12 am At destination sort facility DULLES, VA 5:02 am Departed FedEx location INDIANAPOLIS, IN 2:08 am Arrived at FedEx location INDIANAPOLIS, IN 6/05/2018 - Tuesday 6:44 pm Left FedEx origin facility ONTARIO, CA 6:37 pm Shipment information sent to FedEx 4:27 pm Picked up ONTARIO, CA

Sorry, I might not understand this correctly... Since VPNFilter is obviously proven to be bad stuff and AMP already has its signature and blocking it why do I still need to manually create content filtering rules ( to block those Photobucket links ) and Layer 3 firewall rule to block those bad IP?

Thank you so much for the shirt CarolineS. I'll surely wear this to Hawaii when the volcanos dies down... :

Repost. Newer Dell laptops have a piece of software called "SmartByte" I found this piece of software was blocking our access to our VPN. Once I disabled this software I was able to successfully log in to the VPN. To fix the issue launch the "SmartByte" software from the Start menu. There is an on off toggle, turn off "SmartByte" and you are able to connect. You are able to uninstall the software and it does no harm to the system. This software is installed by default on all Dell laptop systems since about June of 2017. I have not tested this with any desktop models.

Thanks for the link !! I never knew Meraki has such site ... Thanks again !!
