A primary application for NetMRI is discovering the network and all its infrastructure devices.

Note
titleNote
NetMRI does not save configs from Meraki devices. As device components, it collects only chassis. For interfaces collected from Meraki devices, NetMRI displays only the enabled or disabled interface status in the Admin Status and Operational Status fields.

NetMRI uses Meraki API version 0.4.

To add and configure Cisco Meraki discovery, complete the following:

  1. Make sure that you enable SDN and SD-WAN polling in Settings icon –> Setup –> SDN/SD-WAN Polling. For more information, see Configuring SDN and SD-WAN Polling Settings.
  2. Choose Settings icon –> Setup –> Discovery Settings –> SDN.
  3. Click New.
  4. In SDN Type, select Cisco Meraki.
  5. Complete the following:
    • Config Name: Specify a short and unique name for the current Cisco Meraki configuration.
    • Network Interface: Select the interface that will be used to access the device. In parentheses next to the interface name is displayed the name of the associated collector. As Cisco Meraki infrastructure may have overlapping IP addresses in different network views, you should explicitly specify a network interface exposed to the internet.
    • Protocol: HTTPS by default.
    • Address: Enter the hostname or IP address of the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API. By default it is api.meraki.com.
    • API Key: Access key required to use Cisco APIs.
