Provide guest access using Meraki MR

[CHGR]

We are planning to provide guest access using Meraki MR.

we are going to build a syslog server in order to get the information how long guests are using our network.

1) Could someone let me know which logs we need to send to syslog server to get to know what time guests start using and what time guests finish using our network.

2)Could someone show me the log above?

3)Does a syslog server need to assign a global ip address?

Best regards,

I would suggest you look at RADIUS Accounting, not Syslog. Or failing that, the Scanning API.

You can read about syslog here as well as see examples.

>3)Does a syslog server need to assign a global ip address?

No.  The MX just needs to be able to send a udp/514 packets to the syslog server.  So whatever connectvity is required for that in your environment.

Thank you for your advice. I tried to get logging messages using some Syslog application.

The logs I received didn't contain timestamps.

<134>1 1568079752.579029350 Test_AP events type=disassociation radio='1' vap='0'

Should I set up something on Meraki?

Or, do I need to configure something on the Syslog application?
