• 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 configure thousands of ports across a network in one dashboard action 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

Meraki switches are intended to combine data, audio, and video onto a single IP backbone. Meraki switches all include extensive quality-of-service (QoS) capability for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. On each port, the switches handle eight class-of-service (CoS) queues, allowing them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritizing. Power over Ethernet (PoE) versions power VoIP phones, IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. Furthermore, PoE power is smartly budgeted utilizing CDP and LLDP to optimize the number of PoE clients supported.

Application Layer Visibility

Meraki is the only switch with built-in Layer 7 fingerprinting. Recognize hundreds of programs ranging from commercial applications to BitTorrent and YouTube. Administrators can quickly identify and control individual users, PCs, Macs, iPads, Androids, and other devices using user fingerprinting and Google-like search. This unique access enables network resource optimization and network performance maintenance.

Unified Software Architecture

Meraki switches use the same operating system as the rest of the company's products. Meraki is able to provide a uniform experience across all product lines by using a similar operating system. MS120 switches instantly connect to the Meraki cloud, download settings, and join the appropriate network when connected. If new firmware is required, the switch retrieves it and updates it automatically. This keeps the network up to speed on bug patches, security updates, and new features.
