Cisco Meraki and DNA-Center Integrations

[ToryDav]

I hope I put this in the correct location. I am trying to understand if this integration is possible, or road-mapped, or if it was abandoned.

@Inderdeep I will happily try it. I did find the info how to do this thanks to you. I will report my success or failures here.

[Inderdeep]

Sure let us know as well..

Fantastic, I followed the steps found in the solution provided by @Inderdeep and was able to add my Meraki devices into DNA-C sites inventory. 

There are a few product types that didn't appear though, but what I really needed / expected to come over has, so this is a win for me. 

More testing to come.

Hi ToryDav, What Meraki models were you able to add to the DNAC site?

Is your DNA in assurance or automated mode?

Greetings

I was able to add my dashboard, thank you. Though this may be my impatience, but the only thing it has added so far is the api.meraki device, will it eventually add the access points?

Not tried it recently, but with an older release of DNAC I added a test organization to see what it was like.

Found it extremely limited, then when I removed the org from DNAC, DNAC didn't clean itself up properly (no impact on the org itself.)

I think the latest versions of DNAC allow some basic provisioning of MR devices to assign SSID(s) defined in Dashboard, but beyond that I believe it's still very limited.

Thank you, this is good to know!

At the moment, I'm not really looking for a way to push configuration although it would be a nice to have. At this time I am only looking for up/down monitoring and network visibility, a way to consolidate my Catalyst + Meraki into a single dashboard (DNA-C). Getting these into my DNA-C Sites Hierarchy would just be nice.

Telemetry information would also be nice.
