Micetro synchronizes data from Meraki by mapping Meraki objects into its object model. These objects may include networks, VLANs, DHCP options, and network clients.
Networks
Micetro can synchronize multiple Meraki organizations using the same API key. This creates a DHCP server object for a Meraki network during synchronization, and names the object after the network.
VLANs
VLANs on Meraki devices which are configured to serve DHCP from the Meraki device will be displayed as DHCP scopes in Micetro. They are attached to the correscponding DHCP server object representing the Meraki network.
VLANs without DHCP or those configured with a DHCP relay will not be displayed in Micetro.
Fixed IP assignments in Meraki are displayed as DHCP reservations in Micetro, allowing management similar to other DHCP providers. Static IPs in LANs for Meraki devices, such as appliances and access points, are also displayed as DHCP reservations in Micetro.
Reserved IP ranges in Meraki are displayed as DHCP exclusions in Micetro. These can be managed in the same way as in Cisco IOS and Microsoft DHCP systems.
DHCP options
Regular DHCP options in Meraki are mapped to Micetro DHCP options and can be managed similarly to DHCP options for other providers. Micetro also maps certain Meraki LAN properties such as “Lease time” and “DNS nameservers” to DHCP options.
The following table outlines Meraki LAN properties that Micetro treats as DHCP options:
| Property | Option |
|---|---|
| DNS nameservers | DHCP options 6 |
| Lease time | DHCP options 51 |
| Boot next-server | DHCP options 66 |
| Boot filename | DHCP options 67 |
To update any of these LAN properties, open the DHCP options dialog for a scope and select the option you want to update from the dropdown.
Network clients
Network clients in Meraki are displayed as DHCP leases in Micetro. When you drill down into a scope, the data grid on the IPAM page displays details related to the client for that lease. The Inspector also displays the lease's information when you select it in the grid.
