Update Meraki MX Connection Credentials
If you generate a new API key from the Meraki dashboard, you must update the connection credentials in Firewall Manager. To generate a new key, see Generate and Retrieve Meraki API Key for more information. Firewall Manager 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 Firewall Manager UI to update the credentials and re-establish communication.

If Firewall Manager fails to sync the device, the connectivity status in Firewall Manager 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:
