Silas,

Without entering in detail about how the Meraki is sending his requests you could do the following.

Configure your controller to send RADIUS requests to PacketFence, and then look in the logs/radius.log for message like "Error: Ignoring request to authentication address [...] from unknown client [Controller @] ...". You should do that before trying to add the Meraki (in Configuration->Switchs), that will give you the IP from where the requests are coming from.

From then you need to add the range /24 around this address (in Configuration->Switchs) and you should be able to get everything working.

Thanks,

Thanks Antoine,

I am accessing the webinterface via Meraki Cloud but there is also a smaller local page on the Meraki accessible by using my.Meraki.com <http://my.Meraki.com> while connected to the AP which I am able to resolve to an IP. Would this be the IP of the cloud controller or local AP web interface?

Kind Regards,
Sanya Silas

Hello Silas,

The documentation to configure the Meraki with PacketFence is available here(p94-95):

http://www.packetfence.org/downloads/PacketFence/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_Guide-5.4.0.pdf

The IP of the Meraki should be the IP of management you are using to connect the webinterface of the Meraki.

Thank you,

Hi,

We are new to packetfence and trying to setup packetfence with Meraki access points in webauth mode. Stuck at the point where to add switch on Packetfence config to add the new AP. How do I go about this setup, what is the IP of Meraki cloud controller and do I need more setting to get this working. Anybody tried Meraki with packetfence? See pic attached

What i want to understand is what IP address to use for the Meraki Cloud controller and if there are any config requirements for RADIUS, SNMP e.t.c to make this work with Meraki.

Any pointer to documentation on this will be most appreciated

Kind Regards,
Sanya Silas.
