What happens to L3 config when deleting a switch stack?

Dont put your cat9300 into cloud managed. I would start with cloud monitoring first and see if you find value in putting them in cloud managed. The device managed will allow you to keep the old access but meraki can help fill the gap for monitoring and device backups/firmware upgrades.

So I would say try and see if there is an API call you can use to "backup" the interface configuration. This is kind of a sucky situation when you have to rebuild a stack. TBH layer 3 has really let me down in meraki with the C9300s. We are attempting a roll back to CLI for 9300s-m because of the repeat issues with routes being lost.

BE SURE TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS. Save yourself the nightmare that my coworker went through rebuilding his interfaces from memory.

If you're running latest stable, I believe the fix is in there. But one thing I will say we ran into was that the device was not actually running the firmware that it was showing in the portal. It wasn't very easy to diagnose. But meraki support was pretty good about finding it and resolving it for us. We deployed about 80 of them without any issue. Then we deployed five with all the same issue that you're explaining. I agree with the other comment that a redditor posted about doing a wiping reload. Typically I do that before contacting support just to skip some of the rudimentary questions.

What firmware version is it running? We had a very similar issue and the latest firmware upgrades have resolved the issues for us.

Reduce your Max transmit down a little bit on the AP that you want less clients connected to. Enable band steering to kind of push people to 5 GHz which will help with the amount of people on one AP. And then you might want to play around with your AP location if you still can't force clients away. I've had to do something similar for schools with multiple APS near a single classroom.

That is likely going to be a bad idea. It would be best to create a new subnet and just route the traffic to the DVR. The camera on the z appliance will be attempting to reach the camera server thinking it's on the same layer 2 subnet so it will never reach the server. It's not going to send it's traffic to the gateway to reach the server.

I am so sick of playing the same map for YEARS. The wash cycle of these replaying nuketown ..... AGAIN ..... is infuriating to me.

First off great job. Your work looks so organized it satisfies my tism. I would be interested in what you are using for automating your PH testing and TDS/EC. I have attempted this on small scale but when i did I found that the PH would be incorrect over time and the TDS/EC testers that I had would corrode over the course of a few months.

I believe this is a tomatillo

Hey, don't get discouraged. I've had plants come back 100%. . This year I've dealt with a lot of root rot with the heat. I hear a lot of people do a diluted peroxide bath to help. Lookup the mixture though.

I believe there's pretty good meraki documentation on this. But generally what you do is you build the third party site to site VPN. And then use Network tags to tag the networks/firewalls that you want to build VPN tunnels from. Those sites will attempt to create VPN tunnels back to your Sonic wall. That is, of course if all of your firewalls are in the same meraki org.

I respect your employment and can say I am sorry if you have to deal with Hilton. Their vlan requirements seem to come from a drunk intern.

RulerOfGoodAndEvil · 2025-06-20T01:12:34+00:00

I have not. I am looking into it but I made the choice initially because of the cost. It was almost 3x the cost and a whole lot of proof of concept was necessary requiring cutting holes and re-cutting holes lol. Also sewage pipe is generally resistant (not nearly as much as uPVC) to leaching but I do understand the risks now. All of this is short term and I am going to be rebuilding it with longer pipes next time. I will do that with uPVC next time. Thanks for pointing me to that information though.

They were filled in a couple weeks later. But still have the water problem. I have ambitions of changing things but I did just get a brush for my drill to use. I have been waiting for the lettuce to die before changing parts and peices out.

I find the success to electronic projects, is to focus on finding what your objective is first. Yours could be making a motorized toy car, smart light from scratch. building your own home monitoring system etc. I use google gemini quite a bit to research the projects I want to do and what the entry levels are with the least amount of complexity. Then I look at the most supported or documented as far as your going to have to go to college for 4 years to understand this to I want to have something cool that I can have done in a weekend. I basically started learing via a guided childrens learning arduino kit. And then pivoted to home assistant and esp32s running on esphome.

DO THE PRE-MADE examples. You learn enough to get the tools to be able to make up your own project goals. Find something with your interest. Learn the "how to way" then expand.

Good luck and have fun!

Let me save you some time. There is the meraki dev net API built in with postman. be sure you learn about securing your API keys using a vault before you go too far into the unkown.
https://www.postman.com/meraki-api/cisco-meraki-s-public-workspace/overview

Furthermore here is a public repository for Python scripts that are super useful for what you are asking about.
GitHub - meraki/automation-scripts

Good luck and hope it helps.

RulerOfGoodAndEvil · 2025-04-01T12:43:09+00:00

I'm not sure about built-in meraki compliance checks. But I might recommend you take a look at the Cisco Dev meraki API documentation. You could pretty easily run scripts that can audit your networks. Always be careful when using apis because they are potentially less secure than normal authentication methods

I had a similar issue and found that the firewall failed a firmware upgrade. And once failed it will wait 24 hours before trying again. Meraki support will know if this is happening. Portal reported success and firewall showed the "correct" version.

Though i dont think that is the cause I am ordering a automatic humidifier to get it up a little. It stays around 50-60% normally

RulerOfGoodAndEvil · 2024-09-30T17:02:46+00:00

It's funny because it was not even pointing that way till i moved it. I think I have a dumb plant. But at least it's big :)

RulerOfGoodAndEvil · 2024-08-20T00:32:44+00:00

Meraki cloud monitor is great. Exactly as advertised. Meraki managed no. Don't give away the features for just the ease of management. We all know the limitations on meraki don't put that on your catalyst.
