Design guide for Small , medium, Large and extended campus sites

[Prabhueee35]

Hello team,

Please note we are working on recommending Meraki equipment to our customers 

I had searched the entire Meraki network documentation and couldn't find any design guide / scaling guide which provides reference designs and recommends the Meraki switch and wireless device models for sites of different sizes such as small, medium , large and extended campus sites

Can you please guide me to such reference materials which contains reference designs and sizing information SD Campus LAN /WLAN 

Thanks,

Prabhu

Hi @Prabhueee35 , I would advise looking at the data sheets for each of the switch models.  From here you can make informed decisions about which switch models fit your site/business requirements

Plenty of design guide’s available

Hello Darren,

Thanks for sharing the design materials 

I had a look at the documents which you have mentioned in the above post

I could see that the one below gives best practices 

https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Meraki_Campus_LAN%3B_Planning%2C_Design_Guidelines_and_Best_Prac...

Whereas this one below gives campus design that too specific to switches

Whereas I am actually in need of validated Software defined (LAN/WLAN )design guides for 

1. Small sites ,

2. Medium sites,

3. Large campus sites and

4. Extended campus sites.

I could see that such reference material is available for Cisco DNA - SD Access.

If you have such similar materials in Meraki, could you please share it in this post.

Thanks,

Prabhu

hi @Prabhueee35 - there are no Meraki CVD's for small, medium, large sites etc.  I would look at the switch model datasheets and build your solutions out from there:

As far as I know these don't exist.

However you might find some additional information in the partner portal (if you're a Cisco partner)

https://www.merakipartners.com/ 

https://salesconnect.cisco.com/ 

Otherwise if you're investigating this on behalf of a specific client, grab your Cisco rep as they should be able to organize resources to help make suggestions around the most appropriate equipment choices.
