Meraki MS Series Switches
FAMILY DATASHEET

Overview
Cisco Meraki offers a broad range of switches, built from theground up to be easy to manage without compromising anyof the power and flexibility traditionally found in traditional
enterprise-class switches.
Meraki access & aggregation switches are all managed
through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, freeing
administrators to spend less time on configuration and moretime on meeting business needs.

A powerful centralized management interface gives
administrators deep visibility into the network and how it isused. See which switches are near capacity across hundredsof sites. Quickly provision and reconfigure switch ports withsecurity, QoS, and more. The Meraki dashboard provides
unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, making it easy tomanage network deployments without sacrifice.

To set up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there’s no need forrepetitive, command-based configuration, and switches canbe up and running within minutes of connecting them to thenetwork.

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 makechanges quickly and securely on one or all the switches
in a deployment at once.

Intelligent anomaly detection flags potential network events

WIRED SECURITY WITHOUT COMPROMISEWhether deployed in an office environment, hospital orretail 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 toproactively discover rogue DHCP servers and othermalicious 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 andtroubleshoot network issues.
With Meraki’s dynamic network topology, see how theentire network is interconnected, automatically.
Ensure the entire team receives alerts upon power loss,
downtime, or configuration changes.

Remote cable test in the Meraki Dashboard

STACKPOWER AND,
IMPROVED PHYSICAL STACKING
StackPower pools power from each individual PSU in aswitch stack to form a larger, shared pool of power thatprovides additional redundancy and also helps saves
cost by managing the available PoE more efficiently.
Improved Physical stacking helps in faster-stack
convergence in case of a failover which is critical inlarge enterprise deployments.

INDUSTRY LEADING
CLOUD MANAGEMENT
Meraki’s cloud management architecture delivers truezero-touch switch provisioning – configure switches
before they arrive onsite, or use Meraki templates tostandardize an entire fleet of switches, no matter whatsize.
With Meraki Virtual stacking, administrators canmanage up to thousands of ports from a single paneof glass, enabling rapid and streamlined configurationthat could otherwise take weeks to complete.

Switch virtual stack for managing all switch ports at once

BUILT-IN APPLICATIONLAYER VISIBILITY
Meraki is the only switch to include integrated Layer
7 fingerprinting. 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.
This unprecedented visibility allows optimizing ofnetwork resources and maintaining optimal network
performance.

Granular network client visibility up to the application layer

BEYOND-THE-NETWORK SOFTWARE
ARCHITECTURE
Meraki switches run the same Meraki operating
system used by all of Meraki’s products. The useof a common operating system allows Meraki todeliver a consistent experience across all productlines, from our Security products to our VoIP phones.
When connected, MS350 switches automaticallyconnect to the Meraki cloud, download configuration,and join the appropriate network. If new firmware isrequired, this is retrieved by the switch and updated
automatically. This ensures the network is kept upto-date with bug fixes, security updates, and newfeatures.
