Description

Meraki MS210-48LP Network Switch Kuwait

The Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait 48-Ports Cloud Managed Stackable Gigabit PoE+ Switch provides Layer 2 access switching for branch and small campus locations. The MS210-48LP includes four (4) 1G SFP uplinks and physically stacks with the MS225 (sold separately) to gain access to its 10G uplink. This switch also supports a rack-mountable PSU (Cisco RPS-2300 – sold separately). For power redundancy requirements, the Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait is built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a cryptic command line. To bring up an MS210-48LP 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.

Converged voice, video and data environments

The Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. It supports rich quality of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The MS210-48LP supports eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization. The Meraki MS210-48LP can provide power VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. In addition, 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 Cisco UPoE is also available. Meraki MC products (sold separately) work flawlessly with the Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait, and create a unique and powerful experience to installing, supporting and troubleshooting VoIP technology

Application layer visibility

The Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait includes 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.

Unified software architecture

The Meraki MS210-48LP runs on the same Meraki 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, the Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait switch automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads configurations, and joins 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.

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. The Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait 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. The MS210-48LP also includes several remote diagnostic features, from network connectivity and cable integrity tests to latency measurement tools. For deep client troubleshooting, administrators can even perform per-port remote PCAP packet captures without any additional probes or hardware on site.

Designed for reliability and environmental efficiency

The Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait 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 highly reliable products with exceptional mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings. Each Meraki MS210-48LP Kuwait switch also operates with a split-plane architecture, where silicon-based switching and data forwarding are separated from software-based control and management. By decoupling the underlying switching logic from control, each unit is able to deliver wire-speed switching even when advanced software features such as Layer 7 host and OS fingerprinting are enabled. Finally, the highly integrated design of the MS210-48LP results in power and cooling savings in large deployment environments of 30-60% when compared with similar managed Gigabit switches.
