  1. User Office VPN Access
    • Identify which office the user needs to connect to
    • Check the Radius section within Jump Cloud to identify what group the corresponding office is in
    • Add user to the same user group(s)
      • In this case you would need to add the user to OPD reporting to access the 70
        Broadway Office
  2. Acquire VPN Configuration Settings (In step 3 when we go to setup the VPN you will need to know both the VPN IP address as well as the pre-shared key)
    • Using the Meraki VPN web portal select the office the user needs access (In this case it would be the Denver office for 70 Broadway​​​​​​Select the office)
    • Expand the "Security & SD-WAN" tab
  • "Select Appliance Status"
  • WAN 1 contains the VPN IP address needed for VPN configuration
  • Get the Pre-shared Key
    • Expand Security & SD-WAN
    • Select Client VPN
    • The Shared Secret is going to be used as the Pre-shared Key
    •  
    • Take note of both the Pre-shared Key and VPN IP address (WAN1)

3. Configuring Users VPN on their machine (This section of the SOP comes from an older article showing how to configure a VPN on a user's PC. Follow the instructions using the Pre-shared Key and VPN IP Address (WAN1) that you found in Step 2)

  • Fill out the information below using the information specific to the office you are connecting to. 
    • The connection name can be anything so long as the Server address matches the VPN IP Address (WAN1)
    • Be sure to use your Pre-shared Key not the one in the example. (They may be the same however)
    •  
    • Finally go to control panel and edit the properties for the VPN network adapter we just created.
    •  
    • The user can then connect to the VPN by entering their windows credentials, solong as you moved them into the proper JumpCloud group in Step 1!
