The MS350 is the flagship Meraki layer 3 stackable access switch, designed for high-speed connectivity and high availability, with optional redundant power supplies and fans. MS350 switches can be physically stacked up to 8 units, with 160Gbps of stack bandwidth.

A FRESH APPROACH

Meraki switches are built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterpriseclass switches.

Cisco Meraki switches are 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. Find all configuration changes made by a certain person with instant search.

Industry-Leading Cloud Management

Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build networks:

• Single pane of glass management of distributed switch deployments, wireless APs, and firewalls across multiple sites through the browser
• Virtual stacking: manage up to thousands of ports from a single pane of glass
• Layer 7 visibility with operating system, client, and hostname fingerprinting
• Powerful Live Tools such as packet capture and cable test to isolate network issues
• Alerts upon power loss, downtime, or 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
• True zero-touch provisioning

Simplified Management and Operations

Meraki's cloud managed architecture makes it simpler than ever to quickly provision and reconfigure switch ports with security, QoS, and other parameters. The Meraki dashboard provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, which make it easy to manage and grow large network deployments.

By providing a complete, powerful 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 MS switches can be fully deployed and provisioned in minutes, without requiring any local configuration or staging. Additional or replacement switches can be sent to remote offices and installed by non-technical staff, saving thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses.

Layer 7 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.

Network Topology

Cisco Meraki switches include integrated network topology, which automatically maps the whole network, shows direct and redundant links across wired and wireless infrastructure, and is essential for troubleshooting network issues that would otherwise require manual mapping, overlay monitoring software, or keeping track of MAC address tables.

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 switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization.

Meraki's Unified Software Architecture

Meraki switches run the same Meraki operating system used by Meraki's firewalls and wireless LAN products. The use of a common operating system allows Meraki to deliver a consistent experience across all product lines.

Layer 3

Cisco Meraki MS320/350 series switches augment security and performance with built-in layer 3 features. Large network deployments can use warm spare redundancy, or OSPF to manage routing between VLANs through Meraki's intuitive, web-based dashboard.

Designed for Reliability & Environmental Efficiency

The Meraki switch family was designed for reliable, long-lived operation in wiring closet environments, which may be prone to high temperatures and limited ventilation. By minimizing total component count and only using proven switching silicon, Meraki is able to deliver mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings of over 750,000 hours on products such as the Meraki MS220-8.

Distributed Branches & Remote Sites

Meraki's cloud-based system makes it easy to manage a single switch, or thousands of distributed switches, from a single interface.

• Troubleshoot problems remotely, e.g., find which port has a bad cable attached
• Add or replace switches without having to send a technician onsite. Switches automatically download their current configuration as soon as they are connected to the network
• Receive email alerts or SMS messages whenever there's a problem at a remote site

Campus Edge

MS switches are ideal for small and large scale campus deployments, where reliability, scalability, and manageability are top priorities.

• Virtual Stacking lets administrators manage up to thousands of ports in a single interface without having to physically connect stack members
• 10GbE cable SFP+ ports with link aggregation provide high speed connectivity to aggregation switches such as the MS420
• Get alerts when any switch fails or goes offline, before users complain
