This question relates to a network of 9130 APs, managed by a 9800 WLC. I'm trying to reduce the number of SSIDs being used in the network. One of the reasons for having so many SSIDs is that there are several communities of wireless IoT devices that...

I'm investigating an issue with a newish installation: 9130APs in RTLS-density deployment running on an HA pair of 9300 controllers.17.3.5a software. The 5GHz looks fine, but on performing an Ekahau survey it became apparent that the 2.5GHz was not. ...

I have to re-engineer a Meraki network that is running as a flat VLAN on VLAN 1. I want to introduce a number of VLANs so that I can allocate different users/devices to different VLANs to allow me to better secure the devices environment. Straight-fo...

I'm trying to enhance a network, and want to add APs to get greater capacity (I know less is more in WiFi, but I cant get the throughput with 25+ active users on an AP). I have 2702is in sutu, they are EOS, so I'd rathe not try to buy any. I don't ha...

Guys, this should be a simple problem, if I could just find the right documentation!I have a Meraki MX67, with a site-to-site VPN linking to a hub Meraki MX84 HA pair. I have client PCs successfully doing IEEE802.1x authentication on the MX67, using ...

That looks to be the way to go...I will lab it and see how it works. Thanks!

The IoT devices have no 802.1x supplicant, but lets assume they could handle iPSK. Can the ISE do VLAN steering based upon each different user/group's PSK? If that were possible, that could be a simple solutionThanksJim

It's getting stranger....we disabled FRA and the 2.4GHz APs stayed in monitor mode, even after resets. We are going to raise a TAC. Will advise of the outcome

Thanks for your comments Rasika. However, it seems very odd that FRA, with which I am very familiar, would chose to shut down nearly ALL 2.4GHz radios and leave areas unserved. The areas affected are too far away from operational 2.4GHz radios to hav...

I've done a little more digging and its looking more convoluted Looking at the ISE logs, it looks like we are actually getting USERNAME back from the MX....see the attached snipNow I'm not sure what is happening, I was expecting a MAC address to com...
