Three of the 85 questions in this pack

Question 1

For which two reasons can an organization become “Out of License”? (Choose two.)

  1. licenses that are in the wrong network
  2. more hardware devices than device licenses
  3. expired device license
  4. licenses that do not match the serial numbers in the organization
  5. MR licenses that do not match the MR models in the organization
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B, C

B. more hardware devices than device licenses C. expired device license An organization becomes out of license when it has more hardware devices than the number of device licenses purchased, or when device licenses expire. Device licenses have expiration dates, and once they expire, the organization no longer has valid licensing for those devices. Similarly, if the count of physical devices exceeds the licensed device count, the organization is in an out-of-license state. Network location and serial number matching are administrative concerns but do not directly result in an out-of-license status.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. License network location is an administrative setting and does not cause out-of- license status.
  • D. Serial number mismatches are configuration issues, not licensing compliance issues.
  • E. MR model mismatches do not trigger out-of-license status; the license count versus device count determines compliance.

Question 2

In an organization that uses the Co-Termination licensing model, which two operations enable licenses to be applied? (Choose two.)

  1. Renew the Dashboard license.
  2. License a network.
  3. License more devices.
  4. Call Meraki support.
  5. Wait for the devices to auto-renew.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A, C

A. Renew the Dashboard license. C. License more devices. In the Co-Termination licensing model, licenses are applied by renewing the Dashboard license (which renews all associated licenses simultaneously) and by licensing additional devices. These two operations allow organizations to add or maintain licenses within the co-termination framework. Calling support or waiting for auto-renewal are not standard operational methods for applying licenses, and licensing networks separately is not how co-termination works.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. In co-termination, you license devices, not networks separately.
  • D. Calling support is not a standard method to apply licenses in co-termination.
  • E. Auto-renewal is automatic but not an operation you perform to apply licenses.

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit. This Dashboard organization uses Co-Termination licensing model. What happens when an additional seven APs are claimed on this network without adding licenses?

Exhibit for question 3

  1. All APs immediately stop functioning.
  2. All network devices stop functioning in 30 days.
  3. One AP Immediately stops functioning.
  4. All APs stop functioning in 30 days.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. All APs stop functioning in 30 days.

Under the Co-Termination licensing model, when devices exceed their license limit, they enter a grace period rather than stopping immediately. The exhibit shows 7 Wireless APs are licensed with 1 currently in use. Adding 7 more APs would exceed the limit of 7 by 7 devices. In Co-Termination models, unlicensed devices operate in a grace period (typically 30 days) before enforcement occurs. At the end of the grace period, all APs stop functioning when compliance is not restored, not just individual ones. This is the standard behavior to encourage license compliance while allowing time for administrative remediation.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. APs do not stop immediately; Co-Termination provides a grace period before enforcement.
  • B. While a 30-day grace period applies, the question specifies APs (network devices, not all network devices), and only the APs would stop, not all network devices.
  • C. Co-Termination enforces all out-of-compliance devices together after the grace period, not selectively one device at a time.

What makes the ECMS hard

ECMS is the only Cisco exam that is entirely Meraki, and it assumes you have lived in Dashboard. There is no CLI on this blueprint; the questions are about how you would design, configure and troubleshoot MX, MS, MR, SM, MV and MI from the cloud, and about the licensing and organisation model underneath all of it.

Design and Monitoring and Troubleshooting are 30% each. Design covers scalable Auto VPN architectures, vMX deployment, routing designs, redundancy, QoS for voice and video, and high-density and guest wireless. Troubleshooting covers Dashboard alerts, logging and reporting, the Dashboard API, firmware upgrades, and diagnosing Layer 2, Layer 3 and wireless client problems. Implementation at 25% is configuration detail: MX SVIs, Auto VPN, SD-WAN, 802.1X access policies, SSIDs, RF profiles, and Systems Manager profiles. Cloud management at 15% covers the cloud architecture, organisation structure and permissions, and licensing.
