Meraki MS210-48FP Network Switch Kenya

Meraki MS210-48FP Kenya features switches that provide Layer 2 access switching for branch and small campus locations. The MS210 includes 4 x 1G SFP uplinks and physically stacks with the MS225 to gain access to its 10G uplink. This family also supports an optional, rack-mountable PSU ( RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements. Built from the ground up, Meraki MS210-48FP Kenya is easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. The Meraki MS 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. Users can see  switches are near capacity across hundreds of sites. Find all configuration changes made by a certain person with instant search.

Besides, Meraki’s cloud management provides Meraki MS210-48FP Kenya with benefit features including; security, and scalability for networks of any size. Meraki scales from small sites to campuses, and even distributed networks with thousands of sites. Meraki devices, which self-provision via the cloud, can be deployed in branches without IT. Firmware and security signature updates are delivered seamlessly, over the web. With the cloud, branches can automatically establish secure VPN tunnels between one another with a single click.

MS210-48FP Features

Industry Leading Cloud Management

Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build networks large and small:

• True zero-touch device provisioning.
• Virtual stacking: manage up to thousands of ports from a single pane of glass.
• Application layer visibility with automatic operating system, client, and hostname fingerprinting.
• Powerful Live Tools such as packet capture and cable test to isolate and troubleshoot network issues.
• Alerts upon power loss, downtime, or configuration changes.
• Role-based administration and automatic, scheduled firmware upgrades over the web.
• Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered on demand from the Meraki cloud.

Branch & Campus Access

• Physical stacking with support for up to 8 stack members for built-in redundancy, performance, and access to 10Gbps uplinks when stacked with an MS225 switch
• Quality-of-Service (QoS) to prioritize mission critical traffic such as voice and video
• Voice VLAN support for simplified VoIP deployments
• CDP, LLDP advertisement and snooping, with detailed neighbor discovery and visibility
• Port Mirroring support for monitoring network traffic at line rate
• IGMP Snooping to optimize network performance for multicast applications
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for high-capacity trunking, with Multichassis (MLAG) support on stacked switches

Network Security

• IEEE 802.1X, MAB, and Hybrid authentication support for wired access control with RADIUS server monitoring
• Port security and MAC whitelisting
• Change of Authorization (CoA) and RADIUS accounting support
• DHCP snooping to prevent users from adding unauthorized DHCP servers on the network
• Rapid spanning tree, BPDU guard, root guard, and other safeguards to help prevent misconfigurations and reduce convergence time
• Per port VLAN configuration
• Multiple administrative roles with sophisticated security policy management

Network Troubleshooting & Automation

• Virtual Stacking lets administrators manage up to thousands of ports in a single interface without having to physically connect stack members
• Configuration templates for rapid, zero-touch provisioning and auditing of all sites
• Network Topology for automatic and interactive network mapping
• Remote cable testing, packet capture and client discovery
• Automatic and scheduled firmware upgrades for the complete network

Converged Voice, Video and Data Environments

The Meraki MS210-48FP 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.

Application Layer Visibility

Meraki MS210-48FP Kenya 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.

Cloud Managed Networks

Cisco Meraki’s hardware products are built from the ground up for cloud management. As a result, they come out of the box with centralized control, layer 7 device and application visibility, real time web-based diagnostics, monitoring, reporting, and much more. Cisco Meraki networks deploy quickly and easily, without training or dedicated staff. Moreover, Meraki provides a rich feature set that provides complete control over devices, users, and applications, allowing for flexible access policies and rich security without added cost or complexity.

Cloud Management Architecture

Meraki’s architecture provides feature rich network management without on-site management appliances or WiFi controllers. Every Meraki device – including wireless access points, Ethernet switches, and security appliances – connects over the Internet to Meraki’s datacenters, which run Cisco Meraki’s cloud management platform. These connections, secured via SSL, utilize a patented protocol that provides real time visibility and control, yet uses minimal bandwidth overhead (typically 1 kbps or less.) Moreover, Cisco Meraki’s cloud platform is designed to spread computation and storage across independent server clusters in geographically isolated datacenters. Any server or datacenter can fail without affecting customers or the rest of the system. Additionally, Meraki’s datacenter design is field proven to support tens of thousands of endpoints.
