Trying to boot a Sandbox environment of Merika Enterprise

CenT23863 — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 10:03:46 GMT

Logged in at https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/ launched the Meraki Enterprise from the catalog seems to always end up in a failure. Any advise?

I'm looking to perform an end-to-end test towards a Cisco Meraki integration. Since these sandboxes aren't working. Can anyone let me know how to achieve this?

Dear Cisco,

Any update on this issue? Looks to be ongoing now for at least 2 weeks now. The inability to test Meraki API's outside of Production is a problem.

Kind Regards,

Did you find any other methods CenT23763?

@CenT23863 do you have access to Cisco dCloud?

Didn't know that existed, and I do have access it seems.
Besides a demo environment (UI) it doesn't seem to be useful in terms of API access. Or I can't seem to find a way to enable it.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Sadly, no.

@Alexander Stevenson - any way you can escalate the issue internally? I tested other Cisco labs and they worked OK, like ACI. These Meraki Dashboard API's are needed to test code etc.

Hi @Cisco Foo,

I've just tried reserving it again and the launch failed once again.

All Sandbox Support is handled here, through the Cisco Community. The sandbox engineers monitor these spaces and will respond.

That being said, I've just made a request internally to have this looked at. We'll have to wait and see...

Seems that it is currently working. I haven't been able to test end to end but the sandbox seems to be up so that's promising.

Yep so far so good, got further than all recent attempts.

We've fixed Meraki SMB/Enterprise sandbox. Please let us know if any issues found.
