Cisco Catalyst Switch Stack Alert

Jeff910 — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:19:20 GMT

I have set up our Catalyst C9300 Switch stacks in meraki for monitoring. Each switch has been added so we can see all the individual switches in the stack. Because of this, Meraki is alerting that is cannot reach through ssh or netconf because the IPs are the same. Is there any way to get this alert ignored within the Meraki console so it does not show as a warning all the time?

Not sure if you have seen this or if the lower part of the document might help answer some of your questions but sharing in case it might.

I do see the line for "Note: As Cisco stacks share the same IP address across all members, the single IP should be entered which will onboard the entire stack."

The stack is listed under the switch stacks with the corresponding labels (stack1 (1), stack1 (2)). So it does recognize the stack. But under switches, it shows them all with the alert. The switches themselves are checking in, but it seems like it cannot get any information from any of the ports because of this. Do I need to remove the extra switches and see if it corrects itself, or try to redo the monitoring configuration from scratch?

I'm not sure what model switches you are stacking so hesitant to provide a response.

There are several community members with more experience here than I have...perhaps they will chime in.

My mistake. Just added to original post. They are C9300s. We were looking to convert them to Meraki management, but found that you lose CLI with that so decided to do only monitoring.

Stacking Catalyst (MS390s / C9300-M / C9300X-M) has a section for your stack if interested.

What model of C9300 do you have, and what IOS-XE version is it running?
