Description

Meraki MS225-24 Network Switch Nigeria

The Meraki MS225 Nigeria is Cloud Managed Stackable Access Switch providing layer 2 access switching ideal for deploying to branch locations. With stacking capabilities and 10G SFP+ uplinks on every model, performance is guaranteed. This Meraki Network Switch Nigeria also supports an optional, rack-mountable remote PSU (Cisco RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements. Meraki MS225-24 Nigeria is built from the ground up for easy management without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. The Meraki MS225-24 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.

Features

Industry Leading Cloud Management

Meraki MS225 Nigeria is cloud managed with 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.

Meraki MS225-24 Nigeria switch includes 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 trucking, 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 Meraki Network Switch Nigeria 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. Meraki MS225 Nigeria supports 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 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 MS225-24 Nigeria includes 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, Meraki MS225-24 Nigeria 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.
