No-commitment… # Managed Cisco Meraki network: MX95, fibre switches and Wi-Fi At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 Meraki MX95 firewall with operator redundancy and 4G/5G failover. - 02 Three 48-port MS-120-48 switches on a fibre backbone and five Wi-Fi access points. - 03 All managed in the cloud and supervised by DataRoad under IT Unlimited. ### In this article **A firewall without carrier redundancy leaves the business offline when a link fails, and an unmanaged network degrades in silence.** DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting installed, configured and now manages a complete Cisco Meraki corporate network: an MX95 firewall with redundancy between internet operators, three 48-port MS-120-48 switches interconnected by fibre optics and five wireless access points. The entire infrastructure is managed from the Meraki Dashboard, in the cloud, and is under DataRoad's permanent supervision. The client gained stronger security, high performance and a network ready to grow. ## Project inventory | Component | Quantity | Role | | --- | --- | --- | | Cisco Meraki MX95 firewall | 1 | Perimeter security, VPN and operator redundancy | | Cisco Meraki MS-120-48 switch | 3 | Access network, 48 ports each, fibre backbone | | Cisco Meraki access point | 5 | Business Wi-Fi throughout the office | ## The firewall: Cisco Meraki MX95 The MX95 is a cloud-managed firewall for demanding business environments. It is what enables full redundancy between operators: if one connection fails, the company stays online. ### Key specifications - **WAN** 2 × 10 GbE SFP+, 2 × 2.5 GbE RJ45 (one with PoE) and 1 × USB for 4G/5G failover. - **LAN** 4 × GbE RJ45 and 2 × 10 GbE SFP+. - **Performance** 2 Gbps firewall throughput and 800 Mbps site-to-site VPN. - **Scale** Up to 500 users. - **Unified security** IDS/IPS, anti-malware, content filtering and threat management. - **Management** Fully centralised in the Meraki Dashboard. ## The network core: fibre-linked switches The three MS-120-48 switches are interconnected by fibre optics. This backbone delivers speed, reduces latency, adds redundancy and makes it easier to segment the network as the company grows. Like the firewall, the switches are managed in the cloud.

The result is a stable, fast wireless network with no blind spots. More in [managed business Wi-Fi](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/business-wifi-installation/). ### Meraki or UniFi? DataRoad works with both platforms. Ubiquiti UniFi is the usual choice for offices, hotels and clinics, with no mandatory recurring licences; we currently manage more than 138 sites and 1,321 Ubiquiti devices. Cisco Meraki makes sense in larger installations, with several sites or advanced security requirements, as in this project. ## After installation: ongoing management DataRoad takes over the running of the network: - **Firewall** Management of security policies. - **Active monitoring** Alerts dealt with before they affect the team. - **Preventive maintenance** Updates to the Meraki solution. - **Internet access** Continuous optimisation of the connections. - **Incidents** Resolution and proactive interventions. This oversight is provided under the [IT Unlimited](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-unlimited-managed-it-services-fixed-fee/) contract, with monitoring, alerting, reporting, remote and on-site intervention and unlimited support. The plans range from Essential to Premium and Premium 365; 24/7 monitoring is exclusive to Premium 365.
