Prisma Access provides a flexible way to effectively secure Cisco Meraki SD-WAN
deployments. By delivering security from the cloud and closer to the branch
networks, Prisma Access lets you optimize networking and security with the same
protections that you have at corporate headquarters.
As with other SD-WAN deployments, you secure the Cisco Meraki SD-WAN by onboarding a
remote network using IPSec tunnels between the Cisco Meraki SD-WAN and Prisma
Access. Using Prisma Access, you can secure SD-WAN devices at a branch, at a data
center, or both, as shown in Integrate Third-Party SD-WANs with Prisma Access.
You can onboard a remote network using IPSec tunnels between the Cisco Meraki SD-WAN
device and Prisma Access automatically or manually. See the product requirements
below for eligible devices that support this automation. The automation also
supports devices in MX Warm Spare – high-availability pair mode. To onboard the
Cisco Meraki networks manually, see Integrate Prisma Access with Cisco Meraki SD-WAN (Manual Integration). Ensure you meet the following
requirements before you integrate Prisma Access with Cisco Meraki:

To secure a Cisco Meraki SD-WAN with Prisma Access, complete the following steps.
- Configure Cisco Meraki SD-WAN based on the requirements mentioned above.
- If you have not already, allocate bandwidth for Prisma Access locations.
- Go to.SettingsPrisma Access SetupRemote NetworksBandwidth Management
- Edit theAssigned Bandwidthfor the remote network’s compute location.
- Pushthe changes.
- Go toCisco Meraki Integration with Prisma Accesssettings.
- Select.SettingsIntegrationsThird Party SD-WAN Integrations
- Locate theCisco Meraki Integration with Prisma Accessapplication.Contact your Palo Alto Networks account team if you don’t see this integration option.
- Enter the information needed to establish a connection between Prisma Access and Cisco Meraki by editing theSettings.
- GenerateCisco Meraki API Keyin Cisco Meraki dashboard, and enter the key information.
- Enter thePSK Seed, which is a string used to derive pre-shared keys (PSKs) per tunnel.
- (Optional) Enter an FQDN IKE identifier as theLocal Identifierin the following syntax:name@domain.comThis identifier acts as a template to generate a unique ID per tunnel.
- (Optional) Enter an FQDN IKE identifier different from the local identifier as theRemote Identifierin the following syntax:name@domain.com
- Set theAdmin StateasEnabled.You can setAdmin Statein the following modes:
- Enabled: Enables the integration to discover new networks on Cisco Meraki that are eligible for tunnel formation with Prisma Access. Additionally, this verifies current configurations.
- Disabled: Disable the integration to remove all configurations created, in Prisma Access as well as in Cisco Meraki, when a connection was set up between them.
- Paused: When you pause the integration, you can no longer add new networks or remove any unconfigured networks. However, the current configurations don't change.
- Check Connectivityto verify the connection.
- Savethe changes.You canSavechanges only after youCheck Connectivityevery time you change settings or configurations.After you save the changes, you can see the Cisco Meraki networks eligible for tunnel formation with Prisma Access inDiscovered Sites. Cisco Meraki networks are displayed as sites here. It might take some time to view the discovered sites.
- Establish the tunnel setup between Prisma Access and Cisco Meraki devices.
- View the discovered Cisco Meraki networks and their information by clicking the site count.The integration checks every 15 minutes for new Cisco Meraki networks. You can also initiate an on-demand site discovery.
- (Optional) Select the nearestPrisma Access Locationfor the networks.
- (Optional) SelectIPSec Termination Nodefor each site.If you select the same Prisma Access location for multiple networks, ensure to allocate the bandwidth equally by selecting different IPSec termination nodes for the networks sharing the same Prisma Access location.The integration assigns Prisma Access location and IPSec termination nodes automatically. However, you can choose other Prisma Access locations or IPSec termination nodes if needed.
- Select the Cisco Meraki network and toggle theEnableoption to establish a tunnel formation with Prisma Access.
- Updatethe changes.You can view all theEnabled SitesandConfigured Sitesin theCisco Meraki Integration with Prisma Accessapplication.
- Verify the changes in Prisma Access.
- Go to.SettingsPrisma Access SetupRemote NetworksAlternatively, you can clickRemote Networks - Cisco Meraki Integration with Prisma Access >.Verify the tunnel status. The integration creates remote networks automatically. Such remote networks have names in the following syntax:AUTO-Meraki-Network_NameThe configuration status of Cisco Meraki networks will beIn sync.

- Log in to the dashboard, and select.Security & SD-WANMonitorVPN Status
- Check the status for non-Meraki peer.

On-Demand Site Discovery
You can initiate network discoveries anytime to view
new networks added in the Cisco Meraki dashboard. You can also initiate network
discoveries to resolve any misconfiguration in the integration-created objects. To
initiate on-demand network discovery, perform the following steps:
- Select.SettingsIntegrationsThird Party SD-WAN Integrations
- Locate theCisco Meraki Integration with Prisma Accessapplication.
- View the discovered Meraki networks and their information by clicking the site count.
- Discover Sitesto identify new eligible Cisco Meraki networks when required.
