Description

Meraki MS225-48LP Network Switch Kenya

The Meraki MS225-48LP Kenya is a 24-port cloud-managed stackable L2 enterprise-class access switch with four SFP+ uplinks and support for ‘s Redundant Power System (RPS) for mission critical environments. The MS225 family includes integrated client and layer 7 application visibility, remote troubleshooting tools like live packet capture and cable test. The MS225 family is 100% cloud-managed via the intuitive, browser-based Meraki dashboard, and includes a rich, out-of-the-box feature set without additional cost and complexity.

The Meraki MS225 series switches provide layer 2 access switching and are ideal for deploying to branch locations. With stacking capabilities and 10G SFP+ uplinks on every model, performance is guaranteed. Meraki MS225-48LP Kenya also supports an optional, rack-mountable remote PSU ( RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements. With 5 different models, capable of providing up to 740W of PoE+ power over a variety of port densities, including SFP+ capable uplinks, the MS225 line is fully ready to support future wireless infrastructure deployments across a variety of environments.

MS225-48LP Features

Meraki switches include all of the traditional Ethernet features found in modern enterprise access switches, including :

Branch & Campus Access

• Physical stacking with support for up to 8 stack members for built-in redundancy and performance
• 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 (SPAN) 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 Multi-chassis (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 Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP 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, MS250 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.
