I have completed the training titled "Introducing Cisco Meraki Cloud-First Wireless". The session was highly informative and provided valuable insights into Meraki’s innovative wireless solutions. Several features particularly stood out to me: Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Enables improved performance and reliability by allowing simultaneous data transmission over multiple frequency bands at once. Software-Defined Flex Radio: This feature allows Meraki APs to operate in either 5 GHz or 6 GHz mode, effectively future-proofing WLAN deployments. Air Marshal: A powerful wireless intrusion detection system that helps identify and mitigate rogue access points within the network. Dual Ethernet Ports with LACP: Supports link aggregation for redundancy and enhanced reliability, including PoE sharing with redundant mGig uplinks. Layer 7 (L7) Firewall Filtering: Enables granular application-level traffic control directly at the AP. Intelligent Packet Capture: Facilitates advanced troubleshooting by capturing packets directly from the AP. AI/ML-Based Radio Resource Management (RRM): Automatically tunes radio settings based on real-time environmental scanning to optimize performance. Overall, the training gave a comprehensive view of Meraki’s cloud-first approach and its robust wireless capabilities.
