Meraki

Known Affected platforms: All

Description: Meraki API has limited functionality and doesn’t provide all necessary data for our model. Following issues are known:

  • Multiple Meraki devices can have the same public IP

  • CDP/LLDP might be not linked between devices correctly as reported port ID doesn’t allow it

  • CDP/LLDP timespan is 2h, so it might not show actual state

  • ARP is missing, MAC table is reconstructed from endpoints

  • DHCP/STATIC doesn’t provide IP mask

  • STP is missing

  • Routing table static routes only for Firewalls

  • Pathlookup is not working because tables for forwarding are not all provided

  • Can't add Meraki device into snapshot (refresh works)

  • Limited snapshot - Meraki tasks will be always downloaded

  • MX firewall uplink ports - not possible to determine if traffic load balancing is enabled and/or which port is primary and backup

  • Multiple Meraki devices can have the same public IP

Following issues will be resolved in future IP Fabric releases

  • Can't add Meraki device into snapshot (refresh works)

  • Mini snapshot - Meraki will be always downloaded

  • All discovered devices from Meraki are licensed (no matter if it's Meraki AP)
