Onboard Meraki MX to Defense Orchestrator

Review Connect Cisco Defense Orchestrator to your Managed Devices

Review How Does CDO Communicate With Meraki

You must first register the Meraki MX in the Meraki dashboard. Without having access to the Meraki dashboard, your organization will not be recognized by the Meraki cloud and you will not be able to generate an API token to onboard your device.

CDO silently converts invalid CIDR prefix notation IP addresses and IP address ranges to valid form by zeroing all bits associated with the host.

Onboarding Meraki MX devices or templates no longer requires a connection through a Secure Device Connector (SDC). If you have some Meraki MX devices that have already been onboarded and connect to CDO using an SDC, that connection will continue to work unless you remove and re-onboard the device or update its connection credentials.

MX devices do not have to be connected to the Meraki Cloud in order to be managed by CDO. If a MX device has never connected to the cloud, the device connectivity is listed as unreachable. This is normal, and does not affect your ability to manage or deploy policies to this device.
