Meraki  MS355-24X-HW

The Cisco Meraki MS355-24X 24-Port Cloud Managed Stackable Gigabit PoE+ Switch provides full 10G multi-gigabit (mGig) access switching for demanding enterprise and campus environments. This MS355-24X switch features a high mGig port density for 802.11ax wireless access points, servers, and workstations. It supports 40G or 10G uplinks, physical stacking, up to 60W of port power with UPoE, and field replaceable power supplies/fans. As with all Meraki switches, the MS355-24X is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud-based interface, rather than cryptic command line. To bring up the MS355-24X switch, simply plug it in. The Meraki MS355-24X does not require CLI for switch configuration or port management. Meraki’s centralised management platform gives administrators granular visibility into their network. The dashboard helps you keep track of every configuration change in your network with detailed event and change logs.

Industry Leading Cloud Management
Cloud management has 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 prioritise mission-critical traffic such as voice and video.
• Voice VLAN support for simplified VoIP deployments.
• CDP, LLDP advertisement and snooping, with detailed neighbour visibility and discovery.
• Port Mirroring to monitor network traffic.
• IGMP Snooping to optimise 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 Authorisation (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 the 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.
