cisco 3750x configuration for meraki MR 26

[Sureshkachwa]

Below is the configuration I used to access the switch through SSH (3750x).

This is a basic network, ISP (comcast cable) is directly plugged into switch ( not secure, yes), when one of the employee plugged in a LAN cable to this switch he had internet access (DNS and DHCP enabled in comcast router) but I am trying to get SSH access over to the public ip of the switch and also trying to make Meraki MR 26 up through POE.

enable
conf t
aaa new-model
ip routing
no ip domain-lookup
ip domain-name xxxxx
lldp run
interface gig 1/0/5
switchport mode access  --- we have meraki mr 26 connected to this port, other access points comes up through POE but meraki mr 26 doesn't boot up through POE, I know am missing some port configuration for meraki to come up. Any idea?

Hello
The remote ssh access to the switch should work however just be aware having a device open to the public internet isnt recommended.

As for the meraki ap, is the switchport thats its attached too POE capable, Try not to hardcode the speed/duplex let it negociate and lastly if the AP iss going to support multiple vlans then the port needs to be a trunk not a access port.

Example:
default interface gig 1/0/5
interface gig 1/0/5
switchport trunk encap dot1
switchport mode trunk
power inline auto
no shut

or
interface gig 1/0/5
switchport host
power inline auto
no shut

Paul, you are right that switch shouldn't be exposed to internet but that is ok sir since we need this switch only for internet access and for meraki MR 26 to boot up through this switch POE, let me give it a shot with "power inline auto" and see if that helps.

I remember I used some power management commands especially for Meraki APs but I don't have them handy now.

Also, we have only one vlan which is the default one. Yes, even this is not recommended so "access port" should be good enough, right

?

Meraki most of the time Try to register with Cloud to get configured for your SSID to work.

What you can do, you can make seperate VLAN in the switch and add routing to go to Interenet towards your ISP or FW side and allow Meraki IP to register.

is this what you looking ?

Hello

FYI - you can also try to access the ap locally, if/when it powers up -http://ap.meraki.com into a web browser of a pc on your network
