Cisco+ Secure Connect is a turnkey, unified Service Edge Secure Access (SASE) solution designed to deliver an exceptional user experience with minimal effort by securely connecting users, things, and applications seamlessly from anywhere. This solution converges cloud-delivered security (SSE) and networking (SD-WAN) on one powerful platform with a single dashboard, making management easy and providing greater visibility and control. There are many use cases that Cisco+ Secure Connect offers, but one of the key use cases is Remote Access. If you would like to learn more, please refer to the document here.

 

Traditionally, the organization has several hubs deployed as a headend where Remote users establish the connectivity through VPN client. Meraki MX provides this capability with two options: Client-VPN and Cisco Secure Client (aka AnyConnect) VPN. With Cisco+ Secure Connect, you can achieve the same with cloud hubs available in various regions. It provides benefits such as scale, flexibility and cloud-delivered security capabilities that does not limit the performance or impact the end user experience.

 

While transitioning to the cloud-based Remote Access solution, one of the key questions is, how can I make sure that all my current policies can be applied to the cloud-based solution? One way is to create them from scratch line by line. Or as Meraki says, we make things simple. Cisco+ Secure Connect is built on the fundamental principle of simplicity everywhere, interconnect everything. Hence, the other option is to instead use a newly developed tool - Policy Import.

 

Yes!! We are very excited to announce that the Policy Import feature is now available in all Cisco+ Secure Connect supported regions. It is specifically designed to simplify the admin experience, where IT can simply follow a few steps via a guided wizard to import all their Remote Access policies from MX SD-WAN to the Cisco+ Secure Connect Cloud Firewall. To learn more, please visit our documentation here.

To reduce confusion between the new Cisco+ Secure Connect product and the existing MS and MR SecureConnect feature, we are renaming the port configuration capability. We will begin referring to the automated process of securely provisioning MR Access Points when directly connected to Meraki MS Switches as SecurePort.  

 

Please note that this name change will impact the following API end-point, where customers will need to modify the key ‘secureConnect’ to ‘securePort’ on their API calls:

 

1.https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-settings 

2.https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-device-switch-ports-statuses

Keeping track of your firmware update isn’t a glamorous task, but it’s a necessary one that can consume bandwidth you probably don’t have. Perhaps you’ve checked out the improved Staged Upgrades feature, but how can you monitor upgrade progress at the individual switch level? “Does this switch have an upgrade scheduled?”, “Does anything need my attention?”. These are the common questions we all have when updating. 

 

We now have per-device upgrade status for each switch in a network.

 

Rolled out on Oct 31st (no trick, only the treat!), firmware upgrade status provides context on the upgrade status for each switch in a network, to reassure admins that firmware upgrades are progressing as scheduled. Update status flags will appear automatically for all switch networks whenever an upgrade is scheduled or in progress. 👏👏

Description


Public License Move in co-termination is now available and accessible via the Early Access Page.

There are many scenarios that may require the transfer of a license from one Meraki dashboard organization to another.

 

Previously, moving license keys between organizations could only be performed by a member of the Meraki Support team, but now this feature is available on the dashboard and APIs to Meraki customers using the co-termination model.

 

This is another step towards adding more flexibility for our multi-org customers so they can save time and money spent when moving licenses in co-termination.

Putting endpoints to sleep to save energy doesn’t normally play well with 802.1X. You often have to make a choice between compromising security or keeping devices awake 24/365. With more pressure on IT energy savings on the one hand and rising cybersecurity threats expected to continue on the other hand, network pros (like you) are getting a seemingly impossible mission. 

 

Great news! We are excited to share the public preview of the new MS 802.1X Control Direction (1XCD)! This public preview is now available for all orgs on the switch access policies page. 

 

Public preview allows all customers to test the feature and leverage Meraki support if they encounter issues. However, this feature is still considered “beta” and customers should be prepared to test for unexpected issues that may occur before deciding to roll out the feature to critical networks.
