--> Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed solution which includes wireless, switching, security, EMM,
communications, and security cameras.
--> All the Cisco Meraki devices can be managed from the web.
--> Cisco Systems acquired Meraki in December 2012.
--> Meraki is a Greek word which means "doing something with soul, creativity, or love.
--> Meraki MS Switch is a cloud-managed switch from Cisco Meraki.
--> The MS cloud managed switch is available in 24 and 48 ports with and without PoE/PoE+
--> The MS cloud managed switch is similar to wireless access points that can be managed by using Meraki's management interface, Dashboard.
--> Meraki MS Switches gives administrators the freedom of zero-touch provisioning by using web
management interface.
--> Meraki MS switches all have non-blocking backplanes, meaning that all ports can be used at
bidirectional max capacity simultaneously.
--> Troubleshooting switches remotely requires a physical visit from IT staff to find out and then resolve the problem.
--> Remote live tools are available on Meraki MS Switches to troubleshoot the switches without a physical visit.
--> Remote live tools such as cable test allows the network admin to identify a cable problem by running a simple cable test on Meraki dashboard.
i) OK: Cable is good
ii) Open: Unused/unterminated pair
iii) Couplex: Specified pair too strongly coupled to pair X, indicating the high amount of crosstalk
--> To perform a cable test using Dashboard, navigate to Monitor -> Switches and select the "Cable Test" Live Tool. Next, enter the port or port range (ie. "1" or "1-24" without quotes) into the test window and click the Play button.
--> Once the Play button is clicked, you can see the health status of those ports.
--> There are other remote tools available on Meraki Switches such as Remote reboot, Blink LEDs, Ping and Throughput test.
--> Remote Packet Capture tool on Meraki Switches allows you to configure packet capture without the need to configure SPAN/RSPAN.
--> Simply we need to select the switch and ports that are needed on the switch to capture the packets and later we can verify the packet capture on Wireshark.
--> Client tab on Meraki dashboard allows you to check which type of devices are connected to switch ports.
--> Cisco Meraki Switches also provides application visibility as well as which user is using more bandwidth within in the network without any additional configuration.
--> Port Schedule is a feature of Meraki MS Switch which allows the port to be shut down after the specific time such as non-business hours to save the power by turning off wireless access points and IP Phones automatically.
--> Meraki Switches support CDP/LLDP to view the information about directly connected devices.
