2 Pre-Deployment Setup

2.1 Dashboard Settings

2.1.1 Setting Up a New Dashboard Account

Step 1: Create an account.

To manage Meraki networks through the Dashboard, you need to create

an account at http://dashboard.meraki.com. Assuming you are the

network administrator, your email address will be used as the login ID.

Step 2: Add a Cloud-Managed Router to your account.

After logging into your account, click on “Configure” and then “Add

routers.” Enter the order number or the serial number of the Cloud-

Managed Router, choose a name for the router, and provide the router’s

physical location (in order to accurately place it on the integrated

Google map or floor plan). Click the “Add routers” button on the bottom

of the page.

2.1.2 Using an Existing Dashboard Account

If you have an existing Dashboard account that you use for Meraki

wireless, you need to create a separate network in the Dashboard for

each Cloud-Managed Router that you plan to deploy.

Follow Step 2 above to add a Cloud-Managed Router to your account.

You can use the “Network” pull-down option on the overview page to

navigate between networks.

2.2 Firewall Settings

If your Cloud-Managed Router will be placed behind a firewall, you will

need to allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP

addresses. The most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses

can be found here:

http://tinyurl.com/y79une3

2.3 Local Management Console

If you need to assign static IP to MX60W, you need to use the local

management console. The local console is also viewing some local

settings, such as whether an upgrade is in progress or the device is

connected to the Internet.

To access the local management console, simply follow these

instructions:

1. Connect the router to a power supply.

2. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the Cloud-

Managed Router through any of the LAN ports (by plugging

one end of an Ethernet cable into the client machine, and the

Meraki MX60W Installation Guide

Pre-Deployment Setup | 8

other end of the Ethernet cable into the one of the router’s LAN

ports).

3. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the

router’s built-in web server by browsing to

http://setup.meraki.com.

4. Note that you do not have to be connected to the Internet to

reach this address, as you are simply connecting to a web

service running locally on the router.

Network*Settings*

All Meraki Cloud-Managed Routers must have an IP address. The

following section describes how to configure your local area network

prior to deploying a Meraki Cloud-Managed Router. Please check with

your ISP to make sure you have the adequate Ethernet handoff device

(e.g., T1, MPLS, ADSL or Cable modem), as the Cloud-Managed

Router only supports RJ45 Ethernet connectivity.

2.3.1 Router Mode: Gateway to the Internet

In router mode, the Cloud-Managed Router will provide network address

translation (NAT) services. Therefore it requires two IP addresses, one

that is recognized by the WAN interface and another that is recognized

by the LAN interface.

Internet (WAN) IP address settings:

Please follow these instructions if you need to set a static IP address for

the Internet port. IF you are going to set the Internet port settings

automatically through DHCP, you can skip these instructions.

1. If you need to assign static IP address, connect to the

router’s local management console using the instructions

in section 2.3.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a static IP

address.

3. Now connect the Internet port on the router to your ISP

modem or the upstream device that is ultimately

connected to the WAN.

4. On your client machine, connected to one of the LAN

ports, go to http://dashboard.meraki.com.

5. Login to your account and go to the network that you

already created for the new Cloud-Managed Router (see

section 2.1). Confirm that your router is connected to the

Dashboard and that the status is online. If you have a

problem, visit the Meraki online knowledge base at:

http://www.meraki.com/support/.

6. You are now ready to begin monitoring your network

through the Meraki Dashboard.

LAN IP address settings:

These settings let you create a new local subnet that will be served

through the LAN 1 – LAN 4 ports of the Cloud-Managed Router.

1. Using a web browser on the client machine (e.g., a

laptop), go to http://dashboard.meraki.com.

2. Login to your account and go to the network that you

already created for the new Cloud-Managed Router (see

section 2.1). Confirm that your router is connected to the

Dashboard and that the status is online.

3. Navigate to “Configure ->Router settings.”

4. Choose “Run NAT only” or “Run a DHCP server and

NAT.”

5. Choose a local subnet base address and subnet mask.

6. Choose an IP address for the Cloud-Managed Router.

Please note that if you have chosen “Run a DHCP server

and NAT,” Dashboard will prepopulate the “Router IP” field

with a suitable IP address for the Cloud-Managed Router.

If necessary, you can override the IP address with a

choice of your own.

7. Set up your DNS servers. You can either use Google’s or

OpenDNS’ servers or simply enter your own DNS server

instruction.

8. Optionally, provide the DNS domain information for your

organization.

7. To test your settings, refresh your laptop / desktop

network settings (e.g., simply disconnect the client device

from the LAN port of the Cloud-Managed Router and then

connect it again). If you have a problem, visit the Meraki

online knowledge base at http://www.meraki.com/support/.

9. You are now ready to begin monitoring your network

through the Meraki Dashboard.

2.3.2 Passthrough Mode: Behind an Existing Router and/or Firewall

In passthrough mode, the Meraki Cloud-Managed Router is transparent

to the rest of the network. You should use passthrough mode if you

don’t want your router to provide routing functions. In this mode, the

router requires one IP address.

Internet (WAN) IP address settings:

The Internet (WAN) IP address is the only setting that must be applied

locally, prior to connecting to the Internet. Please follow the same

instructions as in the Router Mode section above.
