Step 1

From the IAP Dashboard, select Configuration Manager and then expand the Devices menu.

 Step 2

Here, you can see the Meraki devices have been federated into IAP.  Select one of the devices.  

 Step 3

Notice the device is online.   When selected, IAP will run a quick test to ensure the device is reachable.  Click Load Configuration.

 Step 4

Configuration Manager will perform an API call to the Meraki Controller using the Itential adapter to grab the configuration of the device.  

 Step 5

To create a device backup, click the + in the Device Details section.  

 Step 6

Enter a description for the backup and click Create.

 Step 7

The backup is created and appears on the Backups tab.  Device backups can be created manually in Configuration Manager, or they can be added to a workflow as part of a larger orchestration or automation process.

 Step 8

This completes our use-case exercise.
