SSID and Network

[maurizio.pederneschi]

Hi all,

I'm new with Meraki Dashboard and I would like to know if it possible to associate an existing SSID with a new Network that I have created.

Many thanks,

Maurizio

Try looking under organization-configuration sync

You can also say to create the new network by copy the existing network.

Both of the above should work. I've included a link here to a article outlining configuration sync in more detail - https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Templates_and_Config_Sync/Cloning_Network_Settings_with_Configuration_Sync

When I try to sync my new SSID to my other Wifi networks, I can only see two of them? Why can't I sync the SSID across all?

I'm trying to create a Meraki Radius SSID and have it available for all networks. I assume I can just manually create the SSID on the other networks and the users will be able to sign in at any branch office?

[Philip D'Ath]

Are they all "MR" access points? I'm not sure the built in access points (such as MX65W) have the same capability.

[BRYANQ1234]

Each branch office has a MX60W. The SSID settings page allows us to setup WPA2 Enterprise with Meraki Radius for each of these sites.

We just setup a test and it appears the users have to created at each site. I hope there is a better way...

[Philip D'Ath]

You need a central authentication source, like Active Directory.

Do you have any centralised authentication system?

[BRYANQ1234]

Yes sir, we have an Azure Domain Controller... So the Radius has to be setup there?

Appreciate your input!

[Philip D'Ath]

Absolutely. Follow this [long] guide.

https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Encryption_and_Authentication/Configuring_RADIUS_Authentication_with_WPA2-Enterprise

Once done you can even create a group policy to deploy the WiFi settings. Users will never have to touch anything, because they will authenticate with their logged in AD credentials by default.

[BRYANQ1234]

Awesome! You are a big deal!

[Philip D'Ath]

That sounds like a promotion from "Kind of a big deal". Thanks.
