Meraki uses LLDP for automatic discovery of connected devices. https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Other_Topics/LLDP_Support_on_Cisco_Meraki_Products LLDP is enabled by default on all Meraki devices with varying degrees of support. Keep in mind that if you are not a full stack customer you will likely have to enable and or configure LLDP your other network devices. Note you can always suggest a new device type to Meraki if you find that the automatic discovery is incorrect. Select the client in question under Network-wide > Clients Click on the gray flag to the right of the existing device type Enter the correct device type and click "Save" This will not update the device type in your dashboard immediately but I have had success using this feature in the past. Providing accurate feedback to Meraki should help them to identify and resolve any potential problems.
