Overview
Overview of Cisco Meraki Z3 Cloud Managed Teleworker Gateway Wireless Router (Z3-HW) | New
The Cisco Meraki Z3 Cloud Managed Teleworker Gateway Wireless Router (Z3-HW) is an enterprise class firewall / VPN gateway with Wi-Fi and four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports that extends the power of Meraki cloud managed networks to telecommuting employees. Utilizing state of the art technology that includes: Meraki Auto VPN, 802.1x port authentication, PoE and other capabilities, administrators can increase security and productivity by deploying network services including VoIP, virtual desktops and Layer 7 traffic shaping through time-saving Zero Touch configuration. The Z3 is managed through an intuitive browser-based interface and kept continuously up-to-date by the Meraki Enterprise Cloud Dashboard. Since the Z3 is self-configuring and managed via the Internet, the Meraki Z3 can be deployed easily at remote locations without any assistance from end-users.
Key Features of Cisco Meraki Z3 Cloud Managed Teleworker Gateway Wireless Router
Auto VPN
Leveraging Meraki’s cloud architecture, VPN tunnels to HQ or the data center can be enabled via a single click without any commandline configurations or multi-step key permission setups. Meraki’s patent-pending Auto VPN technology automatically tunnels, hole punches, sets up route tables, and establishes the IPsec connections, completely eliminating the complexity seen in traditional site-to-site VPN solutions.
Application-aware traffic shapingThe Z-Series includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling you to set QoS policies based on traffic type. Prioritize your mission critical applications like VoIP or remote desktop, while setting limits on recreational traffic, e.g., peer to-peer and video streaming.
Simple, powerful security from end to endWith end-to-end VPN encryption, corporate data is always protected. Additionally the Meraki Z3 supports 802.1x wired port authentication, offering network and endpoint security no matter where the gateway may be deployed.
Self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healingWhen plugged in, the Z-Series automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins your network. In case of WAN IP address changes, the Z-Series self heals by re-establishing the site-to-site VPN tunnels using the new IP address. Also, if a supported 3G/4G modem is connected and primary WAN uplink connectivity fails, the Z-Series will automatically failover to cellular.
Industry-leading cloud managementMeraki’s award-winning cloud management architecture unifies WAN, LAN, and wireless management under a web based dashboard, and scales easily from small deployments to large, multi-site deployments with tens of thousands of devices. The Meraki dashboard provides intuitive yet powerful role-based administration, firmware updates, configuration changes, email alerts, and easy to audit change logs.
