Network Enrollment String

A network enrollment string allows end users to access their organization’s enrollment portal (enroll.meraki.com) or self-service portal (portal.meraki.com) using a known and recognizable network identifier. Network enrollment strings are unique to each Endpoint management network and can be used as a substitute for the randomly-generated 10-digit network ID.
