The MX has a comprehensive suite of network services, eliminating the need for multiple appliances. These services include Layer 7 application firewall, content filtering, web search filtering, SNORT® based intrusion prevention, web caching, Intelligent WAN with multiple uplinks and 4G failover.

Cloud Managed Architecture

Built on Cisco Meraki’s award-winning cloud-managed architecture, the MX is the industry’s only 100% cloud-managed Unified Threat Management appliance. MX appliances self-provision, automatically pulling policies and configuration settings from the cloud. Powerful remote management tools provide network-wide visibility and control, and enable administration without the need for on-site networking expertise.

Cloud services deliver seamless firmware and security signature updates, automatically establish site-to-site VPN tunnels, and provide 24x7 network monitoring. Moreover, the MX’s intuitive browser-based management interface removes the need for expensive and time-consuming training.

Ironclad Security

The MX platform has an extensive suite of security features including IPS, content filtering, web search filtering, anti-virus / anti-phishing, geo-IP based firewalling and IPsec VPN connectivity, while providing the performance required for modern, bandwidth-intensive networks.

Layer 7 fingerprinting technology lets administrators identify unwanted content and applications and prevent recreational apps like BitTorrent from wasting precious bandwidth.

The integrated Sourcefire SNORT® engine delivers superior intrusion prevention coverage, a key requirement for PCI 3.0 compliance. The MX also uses the Webroot BrightCloud® URL categorisation database for CIPA / IWF compliant content-filtering, Kaspersky Safestream II® engine for anti-virus / anti-phishing, and MaxMind for geo-IP based security rules.

Best of all, these industry-leading Layer 7 security engines and signatures are always kept up-to-date via the cloud, simplifying network security management and providing peace of mind to  IT administrators.

Intelligent WAN Made Simple

Transport independence

Dual WAN ports with load balancing and failover enable the use of MPLS and redundant, commodity Internet connections, providing additional bandwidth and higher reliability.

3G / 4G failover

The Cisco Meraki MX supports 3G/4G service providers globally for WAN connection failover. Web caching temporarily stores video, media, and web documents, lowering bandwidth usage and accelerating the download speed of Internet content.

Application optimisation

Layer 7 traffic shaping, application prioritisation optimise the traffic for mission-critical applications and user experience.

Intelligent path control

Use dynamic VPN path selection to choose the best VPN uplink based on packet loss, latency, and jitter. Define policies for sending the right traffic through the appropriate path (e.g., send voice via MPLS, http via VPN over broadband).

Secure connectivity

Cisco Meraki’s unique auto provisioning site-to-site VPN (Auto VPN) connects branches securely with unmatched simplicity. MX Security Appliances automatically learn VPN parameters needed to establish and maintain VPN sessions using a 128-bit AES encryption. A unique cloud-enabled discovery mechanism enables automatic interconnection of VPN peers and routes across the WAN, and keeps them updated in dynamic IP environments.

Cloud Managed Architecture

Built on Cisco Meraki’s award-winning cloud-managed architecture, the MX is the industry’s only 100% cloud-managed Unified Threat Management appliance. MX appliances self-provision, automatically pulling policies and configuration settings from the cloud. Powerful remote management tools provide network-wide visibility and control, and enable administration without the need for on-site networking expertise.

Cloud services deliver seamless firmware and security signature updates, automatically establish site-to-site VPN tunnels, and provide 24x7 network monitoring. Moreover, the MX’s intuitive browser-based management interface removes the need for expensive and time-consuming training.



Ironclad Security

The MX platform has an extensive suite of security features including IPS, content filtering, web search filtering, anti-virus / anti-phishing, geo-IP based firewalling and IPsec VPN connectivity, while providing the performance required for modern, bandwidth-intensive networks.

Layer 7 fingerprinting technology lets administrators identify unwanted content and applications and prevent recreational apps like BitTorrent from wasting precious bandwidth.

The integrated Sourcefire SNORT® engine delivers superior intrusion prevention coverage, a key requirement for PCI 3.0 compliance. The MX also uses the Webroot BrightCloud® URL categorization database for CIPA / IWF compliant content-filtering, Kaspersky Safestream II® engine for anti-virus / anti-phishing, and MaxMind for geo-IP based security rules.

Best of all, these industry-leading Layer 7 security engines and signatures are always kept up-to-date via the cloud, simplifying network security management and providing peace of mind to  IT administrators.

Intelligent WAN Made Simple

Transport independence

Dual WAN ports with load balancing and failover enable the use of MPLS and redundant, commodity Internet connections, providing additional bandwidth and higher reliability.

3G / 4G failover

The Cisco Meraki MX supports 3G/4G service providers globally for WAN connection failover. Web caching temporarily stores video, media, and web documents, lowering bandwidth usage and accelerating the download speed of Internet content.

Application optimization

Layer 7 traffic shaping, application prioritization optimize the traffic for mission-critical applications and user experience.

Intelligent path control

Use dynamic VPN path selection to choose the best VPN uplink based on packet loss, latency, and jitter. Define policies for sending the right traffic through the appropriate path (e.g., send voice via MPLS, http via VPN over broadband).

Secure connectivity

Cisco Meraki’s unique auto provisioning site-to-site VPN (Auto VPN) connects branches securely with unmatched simplicity. MX Security Appliances automatically learn VPN parameters needed to establish and maintain VPN sessions using a 128-bit AES encryption. A unique cloud-enabled discovery mechanism enables automatic interconnection of VPN peers and routes across the WAN, and keeps them updated in dynamic IP environments.
