Description

Meraki MS355-24 Network Switch Nigeria

The Meraki MS355-24 Nigeria is cloud managed multi-gigabit switch line designed to help prepare organizations for the increased bandwidth requirements of the upcoming 802.11ax wireless standard. This Network Switch is equipped with high-count mGig switch ports and increased switching capacity to meet the demands of next generation access points. Networks with sizeable wireless deployments such as universities, hospitals, and large public complexes like transportation centers can all benefit from the increased bandwidth capabilities of the MS355-24.

Meraki MS355-24 Nigeria provides a complete, robust set of management functions over the web. Meraki’s cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces which require expensive and time-consuming certifications. Meraki MS355-24 Nigeria can be fully deployed and provisioned in minutes without local configuration or staging. New switches can be sent to remote offices and installed by non-technical staff, saving thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses.

Features

Simple Cloud Management

Meraki MS355-24 Nigeria is cloud management with many benefits that make it easier to build networks large and small:

Automatic email alerts from power loss, downtime, excessive Layer 1 errors, or configuration changes Powerful remote diagnostic tools such as packet capture to help isolate and troubleshoot network issues
Role-based administration
Firmware upgrades and enhancements from the Meraki cloud
Virtual Stacking enables switch port configuration changes on the dashboard interface without the need to physically stack switches
Incredible network transparency with application, operating system, client, and hostname visibility
Zero-touch provisioning for rapid deployment across sites

Powerful Access Switching

High-bandwidth physical stacking with support for up to 8 stack members for built-in redundancy and performance
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for high-capacity trunking, with Multichassis (MLAG) support on stacked switches
Static and dynamic routing support with DHCP relay and server capabilities
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 visibility and discovery
Port Mirroring to monitor network traffic
IGMP Snooping to optimize network performance for multicast applications

Network Security

IEEE 802.1X, MAB, and Hybrid authentication support for wired access control with RADIUS server monitoring
ACL support (IPv4 & IPv6) and MAC whitelisting
Single-Host/Multi-Domain/Multi-Host/Multi Authentication
Change of Authorization (CoA) and RADIUS accounting support
DHCP snooping to protect against rogue DHCP servers on the network
Dynamic ARP Inspection to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
Rapid Spanning Tree, BPDU guard, root guard, loop 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 helps IT admins make configuration changes to hundreds of switch ports in seconds with our intuitive dashboard interface
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 MS355-24 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. 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 to VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. 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 support is also available.

Application Layer Visibility

Meraki MS355-24 Nigeria includes integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting without the need to purchase additional modules or services. Identify hundreds of applications from business apps to BitTorrent and YouTube. User fingerprinting allows administrators to quickly identify individual users by device and tune network resources for optimum performance.

Beyond the Network Software Architecture

Meraki switches run the same operating system used by all of our products, which allows us to deliver a consistent user experience for network management. When connected, new Meraki MS355-24 Nigeria automatically reach out to the Meraki cloud and download the most current configuration. Future updates can be user-scheduled, ensuring the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.
