Cisco Meraki MS130-12X

Intelligent campus and branch switching

With built-in monitoring, troubleshooting, and logging capabilities, Meraki switches provide a refreshing new approach to managing network infrastructure, regardless of deployment size. The virtual stacking technology eliminates the need for configuration scripts and commands, empowering administrators to make changes quickly and securely on one or all of the switches in a deployment at once.

Wired security without compromise

Whether deployed in an office environment, hospital, or retail store, Meraki switches make enforcing security policies a breeze. Set up multiple policies and enable them at the port level or apply them across the entire network in a few clicks. Meraki switches also provide comprehensive security reporting, making it easy to proactively discover rogue DHCP servers and other malicious activity on the network.

Troubleshooting the way it should be

Drastically reduce time to resolution with a variety of powerful troubleshooting tools, such as remote cable testing and packet captures, that help isolate and troubleshoot network issues. With the dynamic network topology of Meraki, automatically see how the entire network is interconnected and ensure the team receives alerts upon power loss, downtime, or configuration changes.

Industry-leading cloud management

The Meraki cloud-management architecture delivers true zero-touch switch provisioning. Configure switches before they arrive on-site or use Meraki templates to standardize an entire fleet of switches, no matter what size.

With Meraki virtual stacking, administrators can manage up to thousands of ports from a single dashboard, enabling rapid and streamlined configuration that could otherwise take weeks to complete.

Built-in 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 optimization of network resources and maintenance of optimal network performance.

Beyond-the-network software architecture

Meraki switches run the same operation system used by all Meraki products. The use of a common operating system allows a consistent experience across all product lines, from security products to VoIP phones. Meraki switches 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.
