Cloud-Managed Aggregation Switching for the Campus
The Cisco Meraki MS425 series extends cloud management across the aggregation layer for medium-size networks with our 10/40G fiber aggregation switches. As with our access layer switches, our aggregation switches are built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. To bring up a Meraki switch, simply plug it in. Meraki switches do not require CLI for switch configuration or port management.
