Meraki MS210-24P Network Switch Kenya

Meraki MS210-24P switch Kenya provides Layer 2 access switching for branch and small campus locations. The MS210-24P includes 4 x 1G SFP uplinks and physically stacks with the MS225 to gain access to its 10G uplink. This model also supports an optional, rack-mountable PSU (Cisco RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements. Meraki switches are built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. The Meraki MS210-24P Kenya is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a cryptic command line. To bring up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there’s no need for complicated configuration files or even direct physical access to the switch. Meraki’s centralized management gives administrators deep visibility into the network and how it’s used. See which switches are near capacity across hundreds of sites and also find all configuration changes made with instant search.

Converged Voice, Video and Data Environments

The Meraki MS210-24P Kenya is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. All Meraki switches support rich quality of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization. PoE models provide power VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. In addition, using CDP and LLDP, PoE power is intelligently budgeted to maximize the number of PoE clients supported. For the most power-hungry applications, support for Cisco UPoE is also available. The Meraki MC products work flawlessly with Meraki switches, and create a unique and powerful experience to installing, supporting and troubleshooting VoIP technology

Application Layer 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 of network resources and maintaining optimal network performance.

Unified Software Architecture

Meraki switches run the same Meraki operating system used by all of Meraki’s products. The use of a common operating system allows Meraki to deliver a consistent experience across all product lines. When connected, MS210 switches automatically connect to the Meraki cloud, download configuration, and join the appropriate network. If new firmware is required, this is retrieved by the switch and updated automatically. This ensures the network is kept up-to date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.

Simplified Management and Operations

Meraki MS210-24P Kenya is cloud-managed architecture makes it simpler than ever to quickly provision and reconfigure switch ports with security, QoS, and other parameters. The Meraki dashboard provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, which make it easy to manage and grow large network deployments. By providing a complete, powerful set of management functions over the web, Meraki’s cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces which require expensive and time consuming certifications. Meraki MS switches 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.

Designed for Reliability & Environmental Efficiency

The Meraki MS210-24P Kenya is designed for reliable, long-lived operation in wiring closet environments, which may be prone to high temperatures and limited ventilation. By minimizing total component count and only using proven switching silicon, Meraki is able to deliver highly reliable products with exceptional mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings. Each Meraki switch also operates with a split-plane architecture, where silicon-based switching and data forwarding are separated from software-based control and management. By decoupling the underlying switching logic from control, each unit is able to deliver wire-speed switching even when advanced software features such as Layer 7 host and OS fingerprinting are enabled.

Distributed Branches & Remote Sites

Meraki’s cloud-based system makes it easy to manage a single switch, or thousands of distributed switches, from a single interface.

• Troubleshoot problems remotely, e.g., find which port has a bad cable attached.
• Add or replace switches without having to send a technician onsite. Switches automatically download their current configuration as soon as they are connected to the network.
• Receive email alerts or SMS messages whenever there’s a problem at a remote site.

Campus Edge

• MS switches are ideal for small and large scale campus deployments, where reliability, scalability, and manageability are top priorities.
• Virtual Stacking lets administrators manage up to thousands of ports in a single interface without having to physically connect stack members.
• Get alerts if any switch fails or goes offline, before users complain.
