I’m pleased to share that I have successfully completed all modules of Cisco Meraki through the Cisco Black Belt Academy, which provided structured, in-depth training across the entire Meraki ecosystem. This learning journey has significantly strengthened my understanding of cloud-managed networking solutions and their practical application in enterprise environments. Through this program, I gained hands-on knowledge and experience with: Meraki Dashboard: Centralized, cloud-based platform offering real-time network visibility, device management, and monitoring across all sites. Meraki MX (Security & SD-WAN): Configured Auto VPN, firewall rules, threat protection (AMP & Umbrella), traffic shaping, and policy-based routing for secure, optimized WAN connectivity. Meraki MR (Wireless): Set up SSIDs, RF profiles, client insights, Layer 7 firewalls, and guest access with splash pages. Meraki MS (Switching): Managed VLANs, port configurations, STP, virtual stacking, and performed advanced troubleshooting using packet capture and cable testing. Meraki MV (Smart Cameras): Deployed intelligent video surveillance with motion search, zone-based alerts, and cloud-based storage without NVR dependency. Meraki Systems Manager (MDM): Enabled device enrollment, security policies, application management, and geofencing for mobile endpoints. Meraki Insight: Analyzed application and WAN performance to identify issues impacting SaaS apps and user experience. Overall, Cisco Meraki offers a simplified, scalable, and secure approach to network management—ideal for modern, distributed enterprises. The platform’s zero-touch provisioning, robust API support, and seamless integration across networking and security components make it a strong fit for cloud-first organizations. This training has further enhanced my technical capabilities in cloud networking, and I look forward to applying this knowledge in real-world deployments
