Mounting hardware
The supplied wall screws and anchors allow you to mount the appliance on a drywall
surface, either vertically or horizontally. The distance between the holes you drill should be
165 mm.
• For mounting on drywall, use a ¼-in drill bit, then insert the plastic and screw assemblies.
• For mounting on wood or a similar surface, use only the screws.
• Allow the heads of the screws to stick out far enough to be inserted securely into the back
of the appliance.
Connecting to the 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 four 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.
4. Choose Static for the IP Assignment option.
5. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway IP and DNS server information.
Setting up a DHCP IP address
By default all MX devices are configured to DHCP from upstream WAN / ISP servers. Simply
plug the MX's WAN / Internet port to your upstream circuit and wait a few minutes for the
unit to negotiate a DHCP address.
Icon
When the WAN connection is fully enabled, Internet LED 1 will turn green.
Additional settings
Please note that all these settings below are accessible only via the local management
console.
Setting VLANs
If your WAN uplink is on a trunk port, choose VLAN tagging > Use VLAN tagging and enter
the appropriate value for VLAN ID for your network.
Setting up secondary WAN interface (dual WAN)
You can toggle the LAN1 port between LAN and Internet, through Uplink
configuration under the Local status tab.
Setting PPPoE
PPPoE authentication may be required if you are connecting MX device to a DSL circuit. You
need to know your authentication option and credentials (supplied by your ISP) in order to
complete these steps.
• Choose Connection Type > PPPoE.
• Select your Authentication option.
• If you select Use authentication, enter appropriate values for Username and Password.
Web proxy settings
These settings take effect if the MX device has to fall back to using HTTP to contact the
Cloud Controller. By default, web proxy is disabled. To enable web proxy, do the following:
• Choose Web proxy > Yes.
• Enter values as appropriate for Hostname or IP and Port.
• If you require authentication, choose Authentication > Use authentication, and enter
appropriate values for Username and Password.
To apply all configuration settings to the appliance, be sure to click Save Settings at the
bottom of the page.
Configuring physical link settings
To configure physical link settings on the Ethernet ports, click Local status > Ethernet
configuration. You can enable half duplex, full duplex, and autonegotiation, as well as set
10- or 100-Mbps data rates.
