[AusNOG] Meraki Switches

[Michael Rave]

With some customers I now use Aerohive instead of Meraki. Mainly because it has - besides a cloud solution - an on premise solution too.

We have deployed not a small number of Meraki routes and WAP to some of our customers.  Things was fine in the beginning, then Meraki released firmware update which suddenly break things.  Network was revisited, and things fixed. After some time is other thing is get change by Meraki and it starts again. It is possible to postpone of new firmware deployment, but not indefinitely. Sooner or later you will have to allow firmware to be deployed and deal with consequences.
