CUCM VPN with Meraki MX

As we are all aware the world has lost it's collective mind and once again I.T. rides to the rescue lol. I have CUCM Version 11.5 and I need to know if I can setup a Meraki MX in place of a Cisco ASA to enable the VPN on the phones. Given the requirements I do not believe it is possible, but I only have Meraki MX's in our environment. I'm left with this Hail Mary or trying to overnight an ASA.

 

  • Cisco IP Phone supported Models - 79xx / 89xx
  • CUCM 8.0.1 or later
  • Cisco ASA IOS 8.0.4 or later
  • AnyConnect VPN Pkg 2.4.1012
  • AnyConnect premium license and AnyConnect for Cisco VPN Phone license

You need to use Cisco Expressway:

We haven't installed it yet but are looking into it.

It uses SSL VPN doesn't it? So no, MX won't be able to help you there. At least not at the moment.

Here to help

MRA on the expressway is the way to go, but it only supports 7800/8800 series phones. Jabber is also supported, so you can deploy jabber as a full client or soft phone only mode.
