Add MR36 to Z3 for targeted wifi in a remote part of the building?
Greetings, Meraki community!
So...
Initial design requirement: Z3, with wifi disabled, providing IPSec tunnel and ISE authentication for single-user access at remote sites. We've had this in place for quite some time now.
Fast forward to today: I'd like to see if the same Z3 (with wifi still disabled) would function correctly with an MR36 via PoE to another part of the building where wifi is required.
- The Z3 would still provide the IPSec tunnel and ISE authentication for its user
- On the MR36 would live two VLANs/subnets with Internet-only access
I'll likely still have to test this for management's sake, but could this design work? Thanks!
Solved! Go to solution.

This will work. The Z3 has 802.3af power and that is enough for the MR36.
If it is only for internet-access, even the access-control is easily done.
