Connecting to WAN
All Meraki MX devices must have an IP address. This section describes how to configure
your local area network before you deploy it. A local management web service, running on
the appliance, is accessed through a browser running on a client PC. This web service is
used for configuring and monitoring basic ISP/WAN connectivity.
Setting up a static IP address
To ensure that the client PC is redirected to the local web service in the following step, you
must disable all other network services (ex: wi-fi) on your client machine.
Do the following to configure basic connectivity and other networking parameters:
1. Using a client machine such as a laptop, connect to one of the LAN ports of the MX.
2. Using a browser on the client machine, access the appliance's built-in web service by
browsing to http://setup.meraki.com. (You do not have to be connected to the Internet to
reach this address)
3. Click Uplink configuration under the Local status tab. The default credentials use the
device serial number as the username, with a blank password field.
4. Choose Static for the IP Assignment option.
5. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway IP and DNS server information
provided in you Telstra Internet Direct Completion Advice.
