Cisco Meraki MS120-8 compact switches provide Layer 2 access switching in a fanless, compact form factor. All models include 1GbE SFP ports for fiber uplink, integrated mounting brackets, and a Kensington security slot, making them ideal for rapid and secure deployment to branch location.
All Cisco Meraki switches are managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than through command line. To set up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there's no need for complicated configuration files or even direct physical access to the switch.
Cloud management has 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 configurations changes; Role-based administration and automatic, scheduled firmware upgrades over the cloud; Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered on demand from the Meraki cloud.
