    The Cisco Meraki MX85-HW is a 1U rackmount security gateway built for small and medium branches with up to 250 users. It pairs SD-WAN routing with a full next-generation firewall, including Layer 7 application controls, Cisco Talos-powered intrusion prevention and Advanced Malware Protection, all managed through the cloud-based Meraki dashboard. A Meraki licence must be purchased separately to activate the appliance.

    Key Features

    • 1 Gbps stateful firewall throughput, 500 Mbps site-to-site VPN, 750 Mbps with advanced security enabled 
    • 4 dedicated WAN uplinks: 2x 1 GbE SFP and 2x 1 GbE RJ45 (port 4 supports PoE+) 
    • 10 LAN ports: 8x 1 GbE RJ45 and 2x 1 GbE SFP 
    • USB 3.0 port for 4G/5G cellular failover 
    • Up to 200 concurrent IPsec VPN tunnels with Auto VPN, AnyConnect and standard IPsec 
    • Cisco Talos-backed AMP, IDS/IPS, geo-based firewall rules and content filtering

    Benefits

    • Cloud-first management means zero-touch deployment without on-site configuration 
    • Removes the need for separate firewall, router, VPN concentrator and content filtering hardware 
    • All-Gigabit interfaces match the connection speeds typical in small and mid-size branches 
    • PoE+ WAN port can directly power a paired Meraki cellular gateway for resilient connectivity

    Product Comparison

    • Cisco Meraki MX75 - the step-down model for smaller offices with lower throughput and fewer ports 
    • Cisco Meraki MX95 - the step-up model with 2 Gbps firewall throughput, 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks and a 500-user ceiling, suited to busier sites or fibre WAN circuits faster than 1 Gbps 
    • Fortinet FortiGate 70G - a comparable small-branch NGFW from another vendor, typically chosen where IT teams prefer locally managed FortiOS to a cloud-only dashboard

    Sizing and Capacity

    1U rack-mountable chassis measuring 484.6mm wide and 250mm deep, with around 55W typical power draw and an operating temperature ceiling of 40°C. Rated for up to 250 users at 1 Gbps firewall throughput, 500 Mbps VPN throughput and 200 concurrent IPsec tunnels. A single non-redundant power supply is fitted - the MX95 or MX105 are the routes to redundant power.

    Who It's For

    Small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, retail outlets, dental and medical practices, and small professional firms that want enterprise-grade security and SD-WAN without needing on-site IT specialists to run it.

    FAQs

    • Is a Meraki licence included? No. A Meraki licence (Enterprise, Advanced Security or Secure SD-WAN Plus) is mandatory and must be ordered separately to activate and manage the device. 
    • Can I run fibre and copper WAN connections together? Yes. The MX85 offers four dedicated WAN ports across SFP and RJ45 interfaces, although firmware currently allows two active WAN uplinks at any one time. 
    • Does it work as a full firewall? Yes. It's a true next-generation firewall with Layer 7 inspection, IDS/IPS and AMP, not a routing-only device. 
    • Can it support home and remote workers? Yes. Up to 200 IPsec tunnels are supported, alongside Cisco AnyConnect and Meraki Auto VPN for client and site-to-site connections. 
    • Is it rack-mountable? Yes, it's a 1U appliance and fits any standard 19-inch rack.
