Check and Configure Firewall Settings
If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP
addresses. The most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses for your particular
organization can be found here.
Assigning IP Addresses to GR60s
All gateway GR60s (GR60s with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned
routable IP addresses. These IP addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically
assigned.
Dynamic Assignment
When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static IP address for
each MAC address belonging to a Meraki AP. Other features of the wireless network, such as
802.1X authentication, may rely on the property that the APs have static IP addresses.
Static Assignment
Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each AP. The following procedure
describes how to set the static IP:
1. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to
any SSID broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection.
2. If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the GR60 either through a
PoE switch or a PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the
GR60's Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE switch. Then connect the client
machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE switch. If using a PoE Injector, connect the
GR60 to the "PoE" port of the Injector, and the client machine to the "LAN" port.
3. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP's built-in web server by
browsing to http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128.
4. Click on the "Uplink Configuration" tab. Log in. The default login is the serial number
(e.g. Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx), with no password (e.g., Q2DD-551C-ZYW3).
5. Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that
this AP will use on its wired connection.
6. If necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN.
