Meraki MS120-8 Network Switch Ghana

Cisco Meraki MS120-8 Ghana provide Layer 2 access switching in a fanless, compact form factor. Meraki MS120-8 Ghana is equipped 1GbE SFP ports for fiber uplink, integrated mounting brackets, and a Kensington security slot, for rapid and secure deployment to branch location. The Meraki MS120-8 Network Switch Ghana is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than through command line. With Meraki’s secure cloud architecture, device provisioning and orchestration becomes completely streamlined. Zero-touch configuration coupled with configuration templates let administrators define a switch configuration once and then bind thousands of switches to a profile, reducing overhead and increasing network security.

 Meraki switches run the same 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 MS120-8 Kenya switch 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.

Industry-Leading Cloud Management

Meraki MS120-8 Ghana is cloud managed giving 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 to indicate power loss, downtime, excessive Layer 1 issues, and 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

Branch & Campus Access

• 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 configure thousands of ports across a network in one dashboard action
• 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
• Staged, automatic, and scheduled firmware upgrades for the complete network

Rapid Deployment & Configuration

With Meraki’s secure cloud architecture, Meraki MS120-8 Ghana provisioning and orchestration becomes completely streamlined. Zero-touch configuration coupled with configuration templates let administrators define a switch configuration once and then bind thousands of switches to a profile, reducing overhead and increasing network security.

Application Layer Visibility

Meraki MS120-8 Ghana include integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting. Our powerful, built-in traffic classification features can 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, Macs, iPads, Android devices, and other device types. This unprecedented visibility allows optimizing of network resources and maintaining an optimal, secure network that always performs.

Unified Software Architecture

Meraki switches run the same 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 MS120-8 Ghana 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.
