Meraki MS225-48LP Network Switch Nigeria

The Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP Nigeria 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. This Meraki MS225-48LP Nigeria supports an optional, rack-mountable remote PSU (Cisco RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements. The Meraki Network Switches Nigeria are built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP Nigeria 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. See which switches are near capacity across hundreds of sites.

Features

Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP Nigeria 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 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 Meraki switch family 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 Meraki MS225-48LP 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.

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, Meraki MS225-48LP 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.
