Cisco Meraki Configuration

Modified on Mon, 12 Aug at 8:31 AM

The ARIA™ Cybersecurity Solutions Advanced Detection and Remediation (ADR) platform integrates with Cisco® Meraki® products. When configured, NetFlow and/or syslog records from Cisco Meraki products are sent to the Control and Collections Engine (CCE). You can then configure the CCE to generate alerts when suspected activity occurs. This document provides the steps required to configure the Cisco Meraki appliance to send NetFlow and syslog records.


TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. NetFlow Records

To configure the Cisco Meraki appliance to send NetFlow records to the CCE:

  1. Log into the Cisco Meraki appliance.
  2. Select Network-wide > Configure > General.
  3. Configure the following under the Reporting header:
    • NetFlow traffic reporting: Use the drop-down menu to select Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics.
    • NetFlow collector IP: Enter the IP address of the CCE host. This option is available only if NetFlow traffic reporting is set to Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics. 
    • NetFlow collector port: Set the UDP port to 9995. This is the port the CCE uses to listen for NetFlow records. This option is available only if NetFlow traffic reporting is set to Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics.
