Meraki Dashboard

For the last week or so, when you go to the switches/switches page in the dashboard the firmware that the switches are running has not initially been displayed. Now the whole table is empty and it doesn't seem to come back. See below:

So today I was greeted with the suggestion of using the new dashboard layout which I agreed to. Only issue is there is a bug that prevents me from editing or adding users to the Client VPN as the entire screen is grayed out and I'm unsure why. I plan on Meraki but don't intend on getting an answer quickly, wasn't sure if there was a button to turn this off. I have tried multiple browsers on multiple computers, all the same result.

I use Firefox for accessing the dashboard and when browsing to a page that has a hidden password & then browse away. Firefox gives me a pop-up asking me if I want to save the credentials. The funny thing is the password comes up in the username section unencrypted.

Just disable form and pass autofill on the dashboard page (browser setting). I don't think it's the dashboard implementation that is the problem, rather than the browser filling in info where it shouldn't.

Hey there,

I've been doing a lot of Meraki equipment setup for my job recently and noticed a frequent issue that I cant find a fix for myself. Randomly when powering on the device, it will do its whole start up process and then stay on a solid white light. Now in the documents I found online a solid white light means "Fully operational, uplink actively using wired WAN" However when I log into meraki dashboard to test the device it states either "This device has never connected to the meraki dashboard" or "Unreachable for X time".

I've tried to restart the device, unplug and plug back in the ethernet connection, Double checking all my configurations (Ive done about 85 of these devices now and we use pretty much the same configuration for each).

The only thing that seams to work is to just leave it for multiple hours until it decides to come online.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've been noticing the same thing for at least a couple weeks now. Doesn't matter what browser I use. For me it seems it's usually the Switches page that goes blank, though once or twice the entire dashboard went blank. Refreshing the page doesn't help, but clearing the cache usually does. Or just open a different browser. I have about 200 networks to monitor so I'm in the dashboard all day every day, and it gets quite annoying. I'm hoping they are noticing and working on fixing it.

I've been using the dashboard for months and this only started recently. There's no way it's all from cache data, especially when we are clearing our cache and it happens again not long after. And they recommend using Chrome, that's what I'm using and having issues with - and I'm generally only having issues with the Switches page.

If this is your first time learning about this capability, cloud monitoring allows existing and new Cisco Catalyst customers to onboard and monitor Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches using the Meraki dashboard.

In the Meraki Dashboard, customers are able to view Catalyst switch statistics, configuration, and troubleshooting capabilities, providing a single pane of glass visibility. With monitoring, network device management and configuration changes are done elsewhere as the dashboard will have read-only access to the network devices. This means that IOS-XE features, CLI management, and configuration on the Cisco Catalyst switches in cloud monitoring mode are still supported.

Anyone can take advantage of this feature; for example, Cisco Catalyst customers not using Cisco DNA Center as their operational platform: you will be able to gain immediate value with cloud monitoring, providing a view of your network from anywhere, anytime, a low-effort way to experience the Meraki Cloud dashboard simplicity.

Another example is customers who are running a hybrid network of Meraki and Catalyst: you will benefit by moving your Catalyst hardware into view on the Meraki dashboard with monitoring to experience a single pane of glass for both solutions.

The onboarding process is very simple and straightforward. We leverage the Onboarding app, which is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. The app can be downloaded from the Meraki Dashboard under Networkwide>Add Devices page. This page is accessible when you are logged in with your Meraki dashboard account.

After you have everything confirmed and ready to go, you can follow the Onboarding tool which has guided steps to bring up switches into the Meraki dashboard. It is recommended that you back up your device configuration before onboarding your Catalyst switches to the Meraki dashboard.

I'm relativly new to Meraki, although not new to Cisco (having spent the past 15+ years working on various models of Catalyst switches). That said, I'm curious (frustrated) to know how long one waits for the management plane to connect to the dashboard, before one stops waiting and starts troubleshooting. In peoples experience, what's the longest any of you have had to wait?

The scenario is that we've switched out an MS390 today under an RMA. Not a very technical setup. 1 x MS390 with a couple VLAN's and a couple AP's. On the final test reboot this even, the switch has dropped off from management dashboard. Post the restart, the switch comes up and traffic flows as expected. The network is atleast operational. But it's been over an hour and it's still not connected to the management dashboard (solid amber). I'm rather surpised that for an enterpirse grade product, there aren't a huge number of tools to troubleshoot these connectivity issues other than checking upstream (which one assumes is fine if it's able to pull down the config) and a rather basic console. The cycling of a single LED stopping on amber, is doing nothing for the blood pressure.

Generally 5 to 10 minutes from bootup a switch should be connected to dashboard. I have had some instances where a switch was powered up for like an hour before having an uplink connected and then I still had no connectivity after 20 minutes. So I usually make sure an uplink is connected before powering up a switch. Although this might not apply to your scenario.

With new equipment I always spin them up connected to a test network we have which gives direct access to the internet, that way you can set management VLAN's and IP's and know the equipment will actually talk to the dashboard and get its config.

I followed these instructions to monitor my Meraki dashboard Monitor Meraki wireless infrastructure in NPM (solarwinds.com) but I am unable to see any of my MR devices. My API key is entered correctly but I am only able to see the Dashboard as URL via ICMP pooling method. No controllers are showing up. I feel like I am missing something but I can't find anyone who can fill in the blanks.

I have connected up and patched in a Meraki MR33 access point and it powers up fine. However when i give it a static IP, add it to Windows Network policy access server for Radius, it will not connect to the Meraki dashboard.

The Meraki dashboard delivers sophistication without complexity and agility without compromise. Log in to the instant demo and see how Meraki unifies and automates network management and monitoring across campus, branch, and remote sites.

I'm having a problem with a specific REST api from meraki. I have been able to perform all the get operations with success, however the POST operations I am receiving a "308" error from the server. I'm trying to do the following:

So apparently the issue boiled down to me trying to create a test account on my dashboard with the same name as what was in the api example doc. I simply modified the email suffix with my own custom suffix and that resolved the issue and the rest command worked!

In the SAML Signing Certificate section, copy the Thumbprint Value and save it on your computer. This value needs to be converted to include colons in order for the Meraki dashboard to understand it . For example, if the thumbprint from Azure is C2569F50A4AAEDBB8E it will need to be changed to C2:56:9F:50:A4:AA:ED:BB:8E to use it later in Meraki Dashboard.

Enter the Role meraki_full_admin, mark Organization access as Full and click Create role. Repeat the process for meraki_readonly_admin, this time mark Organization access as Read-only box.

Boolean indicating whether users in this organization will be required to use an extra verification code when logging in to the dashboard. This code will be sent to their mobile phones via SMS or can be generated by the authenticator application.

For Zabbix version: 6.2 and higher.The template to monitor Cisco Meraki dashboard by Zabbix that works without any external scripts.Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection.

The first feature of web application health is the performance indicator, which is a Meraki Insight dashboard containing a set of applications you choose to collect statistics about. These could be common Software-as-a-service products (SaaS), like Salesforce, the Microsoft Office suite, an ERP system, or accounting software. The performance indicator shows you at-a-glance status information about these applications, like this:

The dashboard provides a method for drilling into specific issues, at specific locations, for specific users, reducing the time to resolution for downtimes and outages. Additionally, the data aggregated in the web application health dashboard can be used to proactively monitor application performance and notify users of potential issues. Once an application is being monitored in Meraki insight, its performance is cataloged and scored over time, which you can see in the performance dashboard: ff782bc1db
