Floor plan management in Meraki provides visual representation and spatial organization of network infrastructure within physical spaces. Floor plans enable precise device positioning, coverage analysis, and visual network management through interactive maps. This functionality supports WiFi heat mapping, device placement optimization, and spatial analytics for wireless deployments. Floor plans integrate with device management to provide location-aware network administration and enhance troubleshooting capabilities through visual device relationships.

Example-1: The example below demonstrates floor plans configuration.

This configuration manages indoor mapping and device positioning for location analytics and network planning. The example includes floor plan uploads, device placement, and spatial configuration for wireless coverage optimization and asset tracking.

This configuration creates a floor plan named “Main Office Floor” with precise geographic coordinates for spatial mapping and device positioning. The configuration uses five coordinate points to establish the floor plan’s geographic boundaries: “center” defines the floor plan’s central reference point, while the four corner coordinates (bottom_left_corner, bottom_right_corner, top_left_corner, top_right_corner) establish the geographic bounds using latitude and longitude values stored in environmental variables. These coordinates enable accurate GPS-based device positioning and location analytics. The “image_contents” parameter contains the floor plan image data (typically base64-encoded hash) that provides the visual representation of the physical space. Once configured, administrators can drag-and-drop wireless access points and other devices onto the floor plan for precise positioning, enabling WiFi heat mapping, coverage analysis, and location-based analytics. The floor plan integrates with wireless devices to provide visual troubleshooting, signal strength analysis, and optimal AP placement recommendations. This spatial configuration supports location-aware features like client tracking, asset management, and wireless coverage optimization for enterprise deployments.
