How does a Meraki device behave if cloud connectivity is temporarily lost?

  1. The offline device continues to run with its last known configuration until cloud connectivity is restored.
  2. The offline device reboots every 5 minutes until connection is restored.
  3. The offline device stops passing traffic.
  4. The offline device tries to form a connection with a local backup sever.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

What happens if a network loses connectivity to the Meraki cloud?

Because of Meraki's out of band architecture, most end users are not affected if Meraki wireless APs, switches, or security appliances cannot communicate with Meraki's cloud services (e.g., because of a temporary WAN failure):
· Users can access the local network (printers, file shares, etc.) · If WAN connectivity is available, users can access the Internet · Network policies (firewall rules, QoS, etc.) continue to be enforced · Users can authenticate via 802.1X/RADIUS and can roam wirelessly between access points · Users can initiate and renew DHCP leases
· Established VPN tunnels continue to operate
· Local configuration tools are available (e.g., device IP configuration https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_datasheet_cloud_management.pdf



Which two actions can extend the video retention of a Cisco Meraki MV Smart Camera? (Choose two.)

  1. enabling audio compression
  2. installing an SSD memory extension
  3. enabling motion-based retention
  4. enabling maximum retention limit
  5. configuring a recording schedule

Answer(s): C,E

Explanation:

https://documentation.meraki.com/MV/Advanced_Configuration/Scheduled_Recording

By default, the Meraki security camera's will record continuously 24/7. In some situations, certain times of day are not allowed to be recorded. Scheduled recording covers this requirement as well as improve the video retention capabilities of the camera.

Which information do the MXs in a High Availability pair share?

  1. spanning-tree state
  2. time synchronization state
  3. DHCP association database
  4. stateful firewall database

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

DHCP Synchronization To prevent a scenario in which an IP address is assigned by the primary via DHCP and then that same address is assigned to another client by the secondary after a failover, the DHCP lease table is synchronized regularly between the primary and secondary over UDP port 3483. https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Deployment_Guides/MX_Warm_Spare_- _High_Availability_Pair



When wireless SSIDs are configured in Dashboard, which setting on the Access Control page affects the ability of a 2.4 GHz only client device from associating to the WLAN for the first time?

  1. Content filtering
  2. Bridge mode
  3. 802.11r
  4. Dual band operating with Band Steering

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When band steering is enabled on an SSID, APs will stop advertising that SSID in 2.4GHz beacons. Since 2.4GHz-only clients that rely on a passive scan will not "see" that SSID in beacons, they might not be able to join this SSID unless they do an active scan or have been pre-configured with the SSID name and security settings (for example, a pre-shared key). https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Radio_Settings/Band_Steering



Which requirement is needed to implement Fast Lane on Cisco Meraki APs?

  1. wireless profile installed on an Apple iOS device
  2. wireless profile installed on a Cisco iOS access point
  3. adaptive 802.11r disabled
  4. traffic shaping rule tagging traffic with a DSCP value of 46 to Apple.com

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Meraki MR Access Points, in combination with a wireless profile installed on the iOS device, will enable the Fast Lane technologies. The fastest way to install a wireless profile on an iOS device is via Meraki EMM. https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Wi-
