# Collect the Meraki Network Maps

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature is in Early Release/BETA. Please contact your Epiphany Systems support or sales contact to learn more.
{% endhint %}

## A**bout** 

For all organizations and networks being analyzed by Epiphany, follow the steps in this section.

#### Step 1: 

* Log in to the Cisco Meraki dashboard using the Epiphany user’s credentials.
* To select the various organizations and networks, the side panel has a drop-down menu for every organization and network linked to the Meraki Dashboard instance. In the side panel, select **Network-wide** and then **Topology**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Not all networks will have a topology, for instance, some networks that are dedicated to user VPNS. All available maps should be extracted to create the most robust Epiphany network model.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 2: 

* Select the **L3 – Networking Layer** tab, then select **Download,** which is found to the left of the **Print** button. This will download an **SVG** file of the network map to the local device.

## SSH Submission

#### Step 1:

* Once you collect every map from the Meraki dashboard, create a compressed file of the folder they are stored in. Next you'll submit the file using Secure Copy Protocol, as described below.

#### Step 2:

* Log in to your Epiphany dashboard using a web browser
* Download PEM file to the local device.\

#### Step 3:

Once the PEM file is downloaded, it can be used to perform SCP of the compressed map folder to the Epiphany Collector.

* You will need to send the file to the ‘upload’ user using the Linux command shown below. Enter the following command within terminal in Linux:

```
cp -i ~/.ssh/key.pem <mapfiles> upload@<Collector_IP>:~/upload
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that the PEM file and map file can be anywhere on the file system, so provide that file’s pathway for the SCP command.
