Implement the service
Netgraph Connectivity Platform – Sign In
The Netgraph Connectivity Platform – Sign In is a SaaS solution designed to seamlessly integrate with existing LAN and WLAN networks, including both traditional infrastructures and Cisco Meraki.
To connect the service to the customer network, the platform supports several integration methods, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to various network environments. The topology of each is shown below; follow the links for the full architecture.
Cisco Service Gateway
Section titled “Cisco Service Gateway”A Cisco router (any IOS-XE model) bridges the customer network to the cloud over a FlexVPN tunnel. The captive portal, DHCP, and DNS are served from the cloud, while client internet traffic breaks out locally at the gateway.
See Cisco Service Gateway for the full architecture.
Service Gateway for Service Providers
