Configure Cisco Meraki WAP to Use Cloud RADIUS

Get the strength and security of RADIUS without building, maintaining, or monitoring physical servers. It’s also quick to roll out managed RADIUS to your organization to authenticate users to Wi-Fi, VPNs, switches, and network devices securely. This is a full walkthrough of configuring JumpCloud's RADIUS-as-a-Service (RaaS) and a Meraki Wireless Access Point (WAP).

Settings and Configuration Notes

• Encryption/Authentication Mode: WPA2 Enterprise.
• Server IP Addresses: For current RADIUS server IPs, see JumpCloud RADIUS Server Details.
• RADIUS Port(s): 1812/UDP (accounting port 1813 is not supported).
• Shared Secret: The Shared Secret is created by performing the steps in RADIUS Configuration and Authentication.

To view the Shared Secret:

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
2. Select USER AUTHENTICATION > RADIUS from the left-hand navigation.
3. Click to select a configured RADIUS server.
