Update Meraki MX Connection Credentials

If you generate a new API key from the Meraki dashboard, you must update the connection credentials in Security Cloud Control. To generate a new key, see Generate and Retrieve Meraki API Key for more information. Security Cloud Control does not allow you to update the connection credentials for the device itself; if necessary, you can manually refresh the API key in the Meraki dashboard. You must manually update the API key in the Security Cloud Control UI to update the credentials and re-establish communication.

Note

If Security Cloud Control fails to sync the device, the connectivity status in Security Cloud Control may show "Invalid Credentials." If that's the case, you may have tried to use an API key. Confirm the API key for the selected Meraki MX is correct.

Use the following procedure to update the credentials for a Meraki MX device:

Procedure

Step 1

In the left pane, click Security Devices.

Step 2

Click the Devices tab and then click the Meraki tab.

Step 3

Select the Meraki MX whose connection credentials you want to update.

Step 4

In the Device Actions pane, click Update Credentials.

Step 5

Enter the API key Security Cloud Control uses to log into the device and click Update. Unless it was changed, this API key is the same credential you used to onboard the Meraki MX. You do not have to deploy these changes to the device.
