Cisco Meraki MR Series User Manual

5. After connecting, open a web browser and connect to one of the local status page addresses
6. A list of the administrative tasks which are available to use can be found on the Using the Cisco Meraki Device Local Status Page article.
Default SSIDs
Potential known default SSID names along with potential causes/solutions:
<SSID_name>-bad-gateway
Cause: An AP's configured default gateway has failed to respond to 15 consecutive ARP requests.
Solution: Check the AP's IP address configuration and reachability to its default gateway.
<SSID_name>-connecting
Cause: An AP's SSID that is configured to use a VPN concentrator is unable to connect.
Solution: Verify connectivity to the concentrator using the tools in dashboard. Also, confirm that your local firewall is not blocking the connection.
<SSID_name>-scanning
Cause: Similar to 'bad-gateway', an AP is unable to connect to its default gateway.
Solution: Check the AP's IP address configuration and reachability to its default gateway.
Meraki Setup
Cause: An AP has never connected to the Meraki Cloud Controller (MCC) or has been factory reset.
Solution: Establish MCC connectivity for the AP by ensuring appropriate Internet access.
IPv6 Support on MX Security & SD-WAN Platforms
LAN
The MX security appliance's local status page can be accessed using IPv6 via the browser by using the IPv6 address of an IPv6-enabled VLAN.
The local status page will report the existing IPv6 address of the uplink(s). IPv6 uplink cannot be configured statically via the local status page.
If a Meraki Access Point does not have a configuration from the Meraki Cloud Controller it will instead broadcast a default SSID of "Meraki-Scanning."
The AP takes an address of 10.128.128.128, the SSID runs DHCP, and it will try to assign any clients that associate with it an address. This is merely
to provide a connection between a client and the AP to allow for local configuration.
Note: MR46 (and other Wi-Fi 6 and newer APs) might not broadcast any of the default SSIDs out-of-the-box when running a factory firmware if an AP
cannot acquire an IP address (e.g., networks without a DHCP server available).
In this scenario, the local status page cannot be used for an initial IP configuration, and the AP must be connected to the network with the DHCP
server so the AP can connect to the dashboard.
