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 5-1/8 inches (13 cm).

• 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 WAN

All Meraki MX devices must have an I 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 C. This web service is used for configuring and monitoring basic IS /WAN connectivity.

Setting up a static I address

To ensure that the client C 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 I address, subnet mask, default gateway I and DNS server information.

Setting up a DHC I address

By default all MX devices are configured to DHC from upstream WAN / IS servers. Simply plug the MX's WAN /

Internet port to your upstream circuit and wait a few minutes for the unit to negotiate a DHC address.

When the WAN connection is fully enabled, Internet LED 1 will turn green.

Additional settings

lease 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)

Edit

section

The MX65 comes with two dedicated Internet ports, which are both configured through the Uplink configuration under

the Local status tab.

Setting PPPoE

oE 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 IS ) 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 HTT 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.
