Today, our Meraki wireless network is air-gapped from our production network. Associates HATE having to VPN back into the network if they're on wifi just to get access to network resources. We just finished integration ClearPass as our NAC solution on the wired side and now have begun to integrate CP on the wireless side. One of our network architects wants to look at using another vendor because of their documented and easier CP integration. He also thinks Meraki isn't that robust on an enterprise level. We have a ton of Meraki equipment at over 12 sites around the country and the thought of swapping everything out makes me cringe. Has anyone tied ClearPass into Meraki and was it harder or easier than you originally thought? I am hoping that once we get a working model in a test environment, our architect will be surprised that Meraki is more robust than he thought and he will not want to jump ship for another vendor.
