Please make sure that the DHCP server used for providing a management IP address to the switch has an available
address pool that falls within the active VLAN range.
Static Assignment
Static IPs can be assigned using the local status page on each switch. For more information on how to configure static
IP from the local status page refer to this documentation.
Static IP via DHCP Reservations
Instead of associating each Meraki switch individually to configure static IP addresses, an administrator can assign static
IP addresses on the upstream DHCP server. Through “DHCP reservations,” IP addresses are “reserved” for the MAC
addresses of the Meraki switches. Please consult the documentation for the DHCP server to configure DHCP
reservations.
Check upstream VLAN configuration
Ensure the upstream switch/router port is configured properly and there is no VLAN mismatch.
Check STP configuration
MS390 series switches run a single instance of MST out of the box. Please refer to this document for interoperability.
Device reboot/ reset precaution
After powering on the unit or a device reboot, the power LED goes through the following cycle -
1. Solid amber
2. Cycle through different colors
3. Solid white if dashboard connectivity is successful or, remain solid amber if dashboard connectivity is unsuccessful.
Different power LED colors and their interpretation are listed under this section. It may take some time for a device to
boot up so refer to the power LED indicators to understand what the switch is doing during boot up. Be patient and let
the switch complete the whole boot-up process and connect to the Meraki cloud.
Do not power down or reset the device during a firmware upgrade. A device which has its power LED blinking white is
indicating that it is going through a firmware upgrade.
Once the devices are upgraded to the latest version continue configuring other switch features/settings. For details refer
to the MS documentation
