Data cap per user

[EdgarGN]

Hi fellas,
I have multiple networks with Meraki enviroment (MX68 + MR44)
I would need to get each user a quota and block/reduce speed when the user exceeds the quota . 1Gb per day...10Gb/week... something like this.

Is it possible? I didnt find it anything on documentation.

Thanks in advance 😃

It's not directly supported by Meraki MX68 and MR44 devices. But, you can set bandwidth limits and traffic shaping rules to manage network usage.

Configuring Bandwidth Limitations and Enabling Speed Burst on Wireless Networks - Cisco Meraki Documentation

Unfortunately, setting specific data quotas (such as 1 GB per day or 10 GB per week) is not supported.

[EdgarGN]

Yep the idea is to allow 1Gb per day full speed, and after the Gb, reduce the speed to 512 Kbps...

Any strategy? Seems with API you can check and move clients to another group policy. Anyone tried?

[aleabrahao]

Yes, I think it is possible to do this by using the Meraki Dashboard API to monitor data usage and then move clients to a different group policy when they exceed their quota.

It will take a bit of effort, but it should work.

You would need a third party solution like Splash Access to achieve this.
