I understand that Meraki Switch cannot configure for PVST or MST, and if we need to connect Meraki SW to 3rd party switches which run PVST/PVST+ or MVST, Meraki BPDU traffics will go through only VLAN1.    In the environment where we mix Meraki switches with Cisco (using PVST+), do we need to assign VLAN1 on our Meraki Management VLAN or Native VLAN ?   note: I googled on many meraki documents but it only says "For the Meraki switch to participate in spanning tree within a PVST+ or Rapid-PVST network, a spanning tree instance must be active on VLAN 1 across all switches", but never say whether management or native vlan.

In the Meraki Mesh document (as of Oct 3,2023 update), it said that the New Mesh Features in MR 29.1+ Firmware supports AP Mesh over 6GHz on new Wifi6E AP (for example MR57).   I understand If we use 6GHz for Mesh backhaul, that means we free up 2.4GHz and 5GHz to serve to clients only, which should be a good thing in term of RF Management. But I try to search information on how much this will improve in term of clients throughput and latency.   Have anyone done any test on the Mesh throughput when using 6GHz as a backhaul? Does it provide much better Mesh throughput for client devices? Assuming that most of the clients are still 2.4GHz/5GHz devices.   Thanks, Sakul ... View more

My client is a supplier for a large US automaker. The automaker requires every suppliers to crate a S2S VPN for its auto sequencing process. Currently my client uses Cisco ASA, and the setup goes like this.     Now, I am replacing the ASA5505 with Meraki MX75, but I cannot find a way to do the S2S VPN NAT on the Meraki. I have tried the ‘Site to Site VPN Translation’ https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Site-to-site_VPN/Using_Site-to-site_VPN_Translation, but when I tried to translate 210.1.xx.48/28 to 192.168.200.51, it gives me the ‘overlapping VPN subnet ’error. And I think this ‘Site to Site VPN Translation’ does not serve my purpose because the MX will translate all the WAN subnet (I need to only translate one IP). Can anyone shed me some light? Thanks, ... View more

MS350-24X has eight of mGig RJ45 ports. On the Server side is Intel X550-AT2 (10Base-T) NIC. My customer worries that since mGig is Cisco proprietary protocol, will it be compatible with standard 10Base-T ?   On the Intel X550-AT2, I can search for information easily, it supports 802.3an, 802.3az, P802.3bz/D1.1 But I cannot find such information from Meraki side... whether Meraki mGig support 802.3an, az ... ? ...

Meraki launched BLE version 3 in late 2020. This BLE v3 API introduces a new property "nearestApMac" which tells that tag is nearest to that AP. Also in the Dashboard>Wireless>Monitor>Bluetooth Clients shows you the list of tags with "Last seen by" AP. I found many time the "nearestAPMac" and "Last seen by" are different APs. For example, for the same BLE Tag, API tells you "nearestApMac" is AP1, but Dashboard tells you "Last Seen By" AP2 I wonder if Meraki uses different algorithm to determine these 2 values differently ? note: AP1 and AP2 are in adjacent areas.  ...
