Here is the Air Marshall configuration warning that states that the Air Marshall can shut down neighboring WiFi deployments.       "Warning: Care should be taken when configuring SSID block list policies as these policies will apply to SSIDs seen on the LAN as well as off of the LAN from neighboring WiFi deployments. Containment can have legal implications when launched against neighbor networks, and it may harm your own network by increasing channel utilization and potential disrupt clients connecting to your APs. Ensure that the rogue device is within your network and poses a security risk before you launch the containment.  Review the section Overview of Air Marshal Containment to understand how the APs may block the configured SSIDs."   https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Air_Marshal#Overview_of_Air_Marshal_Containment    ...

We do not have a Meraki deployed in our field network.   The issue is that our Cradlepoint networks are being attacked by Meraki Air Marshalls.   In one case, we sent a message to the building IT team about the issue, indicating that we suspected an Air Marshall,  and they whitelisted us in their Air Marshall configuration. The problem instantly disappeared.   The question is though, why did the Air Marshall start shutting our network down, even though our SSID is a friendly neighbor?  As we deploy across thousands of sites, this issue will grow. ...

Hello, thanks for responding.   The IOT client has a PSK.    The client also "retries" automatically if it does not achieve an internet connection.   ... View more

In our situation, we have cellular wifi gateways with a predefined SSID.   Our IOT clients have a predefined SSID to connect to the cellular gateway.    What we observe is that a neighboring Meraki Air Marshall takes us down.   We've made no attempt to connect to the Air Marshall's host network.   We have no defense against the Air Marshall (or so it seems) I'm wondering if we "stay hidden" if the Air Marshall will detect us.   ...
