Cisco Meraki 自動預配現已在 Purple Portal 上線

How long would your Meraki guest WiFi rollout take by hand?

Compare typing splash, walled garden and RADIUS settings into every Meraki network against pushing them through the Meraki Dashboard API with Purple.

Rollout estimate for 180 access points across 15 venues

Meraki Dashboard API workload

What gets set on each guest SSID

• 1Read the inventory: GET /organizations/{orgId}/networks and GET /organizations/{orgId}/devices (up to 1,000 per page)
• 2Set splash mode, walled garden and RADIUS: PUT /networks/{networkId}/wireless/ssids/{number}
• 3Point the SSID at the Purple portal: PUT /networks/{networkId}/wireless/ssids/{number}/splash/settings

Method: manual time per guest SSID is 6 min for the SSID basics, 4 min for the splash mode and URL, 6 min for about 12 walled garden entries, 8 min for RADIUS authentication and accounting servers, plus 10 min to test a login at each venue and 1.5 min to register each access point MAC address in the Purple portal. Meraki applies SSID settings per network, so the SSID work scales with venues, not access points. The API figure is a floor set by the rate limit; real runs add network latency and retries.
