Hi all,
I've been trying out some Cisco Meraki kit (switch and AP). It all seems to work quite well. However, one thing I have noticed is that there doesn't appear to be any way to give meaningful names to VLANs anywhere in the dashboard.
e.g. On our existing HP switches, I can do a "show vlan" and it'll produce a list of all the defined VLANs on the switch, along with the names I have given them all (VOICE, IPTV, USER, NFS, etc.).
From what I can find in the dashboard, you can only really define and use VLANs by their ID. There's no nice way to identify what lives in a given VLAN. It would be nice to name them in order to reduce human error and the like as I intend to give certain users to manage port VLAN assignment who are by no means network engineers. The easier I make it for them, the less scope there is for things to go wrong.
This isn't necessarily a show-stopper, but I just find it a little bit odd that such a feature doesn't exist in there somewhere.
Would love to hear what other's experiences have been like in terms of managing VLANs on the Meraki platform.
I've done some googling, and I can't seem to find an answer, so my assumption is that it's not possible. I'll be grateful to be told otherwise!
Either way, thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Lachie.
