Prerequisites

...

1. The user generating the Meraki Management Station API access key must have organizational-level read access.

The Process

1. Configure the Meraki integration in LumetaAsset Manager.

2. The Lumeta Asset Manager system calls the Meraki API and processes its responses.

3. Lumeta Asset Manager synthesizes the responses and then either creates or updates a device on Asset Manager.

   IF the device . . .	THEN . . .	AND . . .
   Does not exist on

   Lumeta

   Asset Manager

   Lumeta

   Asset Manager records the response with scan type "external" and adds the device to the

   Lumeta

   Asset Manager database.

   A device created by Meraki APIs follows same algorithm for target generation as any other scan type

   Adds the attribute "externalSource" with the value "Meraki Management Station"

   Generates

   Device becomes a discovery target and follows the same algorithm as though it were

   and following the same algorithm

   any

   other

   device discovered in
