Create a Local Meraki Network Object

A local Meraki network object must be made in the Merkai dashboard. If you have a Meraki device that has not been onboarded to Security Cloud Control yet, any pre-existing local objects are onboarded with the device; if you have a Meraki device that has been onboarded, sychronize the device in Security Cloud Control to read the new configuration and local objects.

Note

Once a device configuration referencing a Meraki network object or network object group is onboarded or synchronized with the Security Cloud Control UI, these objects are displayed as FTD Network objects or object groups.

These objects and object groups are read-only in Security Cloud Control.

Before you begin

If you have not enabled Merkai's Open Beta Network Objects, log into the Meraki dashboard and navigate to Organization > Policy Object to enroll and get access to local objects and object groups

Procedure

Step 1

Log into the Meraki dashboard and create a local object or a local object group. See the Meraki Network Objects Configuration Guide for more information.

Step 2

Log into Security Cloud Control.

Note: If you have not yet onboarded your Meraki device to Security Cloud Control, see Onboard an MX Device to Security Cloud Control for more information. Onboarding a device also onboards all the pre-existing objects.

Step 3

In the left pane, click Security Devices.

Step 4

Locate the Merkai device and select it so the device row is highlighted. The device status is Conflict detected. In the pane located to the right, select either Review Conflict to review the changes made to the device's configuration or Accept without Review to accept all configuration changes.
