If they want to take a Catalyst and skin it, I wish they would at least offer CLI access via the dashboard like some of the other vendors. I could make the config changes needed that the dashboard side isn't capable of handling yet. ... View more

Yes I'm hating these MS390s more and more. This is another blind install. The client probably never saw that info or thought they had a reason to look for it. The spec sheets and comparison matrix details that purchasers land on lack these gotchas.   I'm just hoping there is a planned fix for this so I can give some long term guidance to the client. ...

I did log a ticket trying to get clarification or reasoning. I did find the specs for the Cisco 9300-48UXM and they are identical to the MS390 except I can't find any disclaimer about POE being limited by reservation versus consumption. This must be a "feature" of Meraki.   Or is there a way to flash the Cisco firmware on this and config via CLI to bypass this Meraki feature. I think I'll call this a failture. A feature that fails the task. ... View more

I agree. This is an e-rate customer so they are sometimes limited during the purchase.   I'm just trying to figure out why the 390 limits power based on budget versus consumption like all the other MS series switches. ... View more

Running CS 15.21.1 on MS390UX-48. These have 1100 watt power supplies but only 525 watts for POE. We didn't recommend this combo to the client. I believe they worked with a Cisco system architect that recommended this setup and brought me in for install.   I've already recommended a 2nd power supply but really hoping there is some upcoming change that addresses this.   Client bought 9166 APs to use on them. They are only drawing 12-13 watts each but calling for a 45 watt reserve. The issue is the switch is denying power based on reserve instead of consumed.   ... View more
