Assigning an IP Address

All switches 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 switch. Other features of the network, such as 802.1X authentication, may rely on the property
that the switches have static IP addresses.
Static Assignment
Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each switch. The following procedure describes how to set the
static IP:
1. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the switch over a wired connection.
2. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the switch's built-in web server by browsing
to http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://1.1.1.100
3. 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).
4. Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this switch will use on its
management connection.
5. If necessary, reconnect the switch to the LAN.
Static IP via DHCP Reservations
Instead of associating to each Meraki switch individually to configure static IP addresses, an administrator can assign
on the firewall configuration
