MacOS Meraki VPN Setup Here are the basic steps: Open System Preferences Network from Mac applications menu.

The Meraki MX64 provides unlimited VPN users We love the Cisco Meraki VPN at Telnexus. The MX security appliance is a powerful guardian and gateway between the wild Internet and your private Local Area Network (LAN). M eraki’s teleworker device, the Meraki Z3 provides a great, set it and forget it system for VPN services. In this article, I will go through various use case setups on how your remote network (I live in Europe) can seem like you are in your home country (I’m from the USA) without constantly having to enable a VPN client or to sign up for proxy services requiring monthly fees. Heads up that more recent version of both Meraki code and FirePower code has eliminated IKE1. You can still follow this document (which I need to update) but modify things to use IKE2 instead. Make sure your settings on IKE2 match up on both sides, and your site to site VPN from a FP to a Meraki device should work fine.

Recovering Access to Accounts Protected by Two-Factor Authentication

Two Factor Authentication (TFA) is an important security mechanism, and cannot be disabled by Cisco Meraki without positively identifying the account owner. There are two methods available to ensure access is not lost: a backup phone number (with SMS auth), and a list of one-time codes (with Google Authenticator).

The two methods above are the primary options for disabling or temporarily bypassing two-factor authentication. If these methods cannot be utilized for any reason, the only alternative is to provide proof of identity after contacting Cisco Meraki Technical Support. There are two methods to request removal of SMS and Google Authentication for TFA.

Please note that 2FA removal requests cannot be resolved via our support phone lines. 2FA disablement needs to be requested and processed by the admin email that needs assistance via a Meraki case for security purposes. See steps on recovering access below.

Method 1:

Open a case by emailing licensing@meraki.com.
- This email must be sent from the email address of the account TFA is to be disabled on.
- It must include the full name of the organization that the account resides in.
A second organization administrator must comment on the case through Dashboard granting approval to disable TFA on the account.
- Email or phone approval is not acceptable for this. The approval must come as a comment on the case.
- This permission can be granted only by an organization administrator with Full access.

Method 2:

Alternatively, if a second organization administrator with full access does not exist or is otherwise unavailable:

Open a case by emailing licensing@meraki.com.
- This email must be sent from the email address of the account TFA is to be disabled on.
Once in communication with a Cisco Meraki Support Specialist, explain that TFA needs to be disabled for the account and provide the requested documentation.
The Support Operations Specialist will request more information about the organization and its contents and settings to verify the validity of the request.
Once this step has been completed, a Cisco Meraki Support Specialist will provide you a document which must be signed, notarized, and mailed to Cisco Meraki Headquarters (address found below).
- When this is received by support, it will then be scanned and attached to the case before TFA is disabled.
- It is strongly recommended to send this letter with tracking, in case of postal issues.
- Unless otherwise specified by the Support Ops Team, use the following address format:
  Cisco Meraki- Support Operations
  500 Terry A Francois Blvd
  4th Floor, C/O [SUPPORT OPS SPECIALIST'S NAME]
  San Francisco, CA 94158
