Features and Capabilities
Meraki switches include all of the traditional Ethernet features found in modern enterprise access switches, including:
INTELLIGENT CAMPUS &
BRANCH SWITCHING
With built-in monitoring, troubleshooting and logging
capabilities, Meraki switches provide a refreshing new
approach to managing network infrastructure, regardless of
deployment size.
Meraki’s Virtual Stacking technology eliminates the need
for configuration scripts and commands, empowering
administrators to make changes quickly and securely on Intelligent anomaly detection flags potential network events
one or all the switches in a deployment at once.
WIRED SECURITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Whether deployed in an office environment, hospital or
retail store, Meraki switches make enforcing security
policies a breeze. Set up multiple policies and enable them
at the port-level, or apply them across the entire network in
a few clicks.
Meraki switches also provide comprehensive security
reporting, making it easy to proactively discover rogue
DHCP servers and other malicious activity on the network.
Rogue DHCP server detection across the entire network
TROUBLESHOOTING, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
Drastically reduce time-to-resolution with a variety of
powerful troubleshooting tools such as remote cable testing
and packet captures that help isolate and troubleshoot
network issues.
With Meraki’s dynamic network topology, see how the
entire network is interconnected, automatically.
Ensure the entire team receives alerts upon power loss,
downtime, or configuration changes. Remote cable test in the Meraki Dashboard

INDUSTRY LEADING CLOUD MANAGEMENT
Meraki’s cloud management architecture delivers true zero-
touch switch provisioning – configure switches before they
arrive onsite, or use Meraki templates to standardize an
entire fleet of switches, no matter what size.
With Virtual Stacking, IT admins can make configuration
changes to hundreds of switch ports in seconds with
our intuitive dashboard interface, enabling rapid and Switch virtual stack for managing all switch ports at once
streamlined switch port management that would otherwise
take weeks to complete.
BUILT-IN APPLICATION LAYER VISIBILITY
Meraki switches include integrated Layer 7 visibility, to help
IT admins identify hundreds of applications, from business
apps to BitTorrent and YouTube.
User fingerprinting with Google-like search allows
administrators to easily identify and control individual users,
PCs, iMacs, iPads, Androids, and other devices.
Granular network client visibility up to the application layer
This unprecedented visibility allows optimizing of network
resources and maintaining optimal network performance.
BEYOND-THE-NETWORK SOFTWARE
ARCHITECTURE
Meraki switches run the same operating system used by all
of our products, which allows us to deliver a consistent user
experience for network management.
When connected, new Meraki switches automatically reach
out to the Meraki cloud and download the most current
configuration. Future updates can be user-scheduled,
ensuring the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes,
security updates, and new features.
