Meraki MS120-8LP Network Switch Kenya

Meraki MS120-8LP Kenya is a cloud-managed compact switch providing Layer 2 access switching in a fanless, compact form factor. This Meraki MS120-8LP model include 1GbE SFP ports for fiber uplink, integrated mounting brackets, and a Kensington security slot, making it ideal for rapid and secure deployment to branch location. Meraki Network Switch Kenya has Meraki dashboard that provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, making it easy to manage and scale large network deployments. By providing a complete, powerful set of management functions over the web, Meraki cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces, which require expensive and time-consuming certifications.

Meraki MS120-8LP Kenya can be fully deployed and provisioned in minutes, without requiring any local configuration or staging. Additional or replacement switches can be sent to remote offices and installed by non-technical staff, saving thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses. The Meraki MS120-8LP Kenya also includes several remote diagnostic features, from network connectivity and cable integrity tests to latency measurement tools. For deep client troubleshooting, administrators can even perform per-port remote packet captures without any additional probes or hardware on-site.
