New SSID Not Connecting

[GJ1]

Hi,

I have added a new SSID to our Meraki dashboard but I am unable to connect to it. I have done the following:

1. Setup a WiFi VLAN on our core switch, with IP helpers pointing to our domain controllers

2. Created a DHCP scope on the domain controllers

3. Added a network object on our firewall and assigned it to the same groups as our other SSID (using Check Point firewall)

4. Setup firewall rules

5. Deployed the policy

6. Added the VLAN to the trunk on the switch

When connecting I get an error saying it couldn't get an IP address.

I'm not sure what else to try. What could be the likely cause?

Thanks in advance

your ssid is in bridge mode?

your coreswitch connects Wi-Fi AP's? or did you add the vlan to all switches. 

does the coreswitch send the related dhcp packet to the AD , and the AD receives the dhcp packet?

Hi,

As I posted my message I realised I didn't add the new VLAN to the allowed VLANs on the relevant switch ports. I am now able to connect to the SSID now but have no internet access. I'm assuming this is a firewall issue?

traceroute to your gateway, fw and beyond your fw to the internet. and look in your fw logs

Hi. I figured out why I wasn't getting any connectivity. I missed out a NAT setting on the firewall. All good now - thanks a lot for the help!
