Switch meraki first to PPPOE as you will lose connection once you switch the modem into bridge mode. You can still access via the local status page mx.meraki.com
PPPOE settings to config vodafone modemL
username: [serial_number_of_modem]@vfiefttc.ie
password: broadband
Then switch vodafone modem to Bridged mode
You may need to untick TR-069 (used for managing CPE devices)
You may need to reboot vodafone modem for it to go into bridge mode

MS - http://switch.meraki.com
MX - http://mx.meraki.com or http://wired.meraki.com
MG - http://mg.meraki.com
Any - http://setup.meraki.com or http://my.meraki.com
FYI - Cisco reset local status page passwords, it used to be admin and the serial of the device but in 2025 cisco auto generated one and asked users to set a password.
