5. Layer 2 / Layer 3 Feature Full Description

Layer 2 Features

IEEE 802.1Q trunking, 802.3ad LACP link aggregation (8 ports per EtherChannel), PVST+/RPVST+/MSTP spanning tree suite with BPDU guard, root guard, loop guard and UDLD, LLDP/CDP device discovery, port security, broadcast/multicast storm suppression, IGMP snooping v1/v2/v3, port mirroring (SPAN/RSPAN), MAC sticky address learning.

Layer 3 Routing Features

IPv4 static routing, OSPFv2 dynamic routing, PIM-ASM multicast routing, VRRP redundant gateway protocol, DHCP server and DHCP relay agent, inter-VLAN routing, IPv4 unicast/multicast forwarding at wire speed.

6. Security Feature Set (Meraki M-Tier Exclusive)

IEEE 802.1X port authentication, MAB MAC bypass authentication, multi-host/multi-domain authentication modes, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, role-based access control (RBAC), centralized multi-factor authentication via Meraki cloud dashboard, Adaptive Policy security group segmentation, encrypted management transport (HTTPS, SSH), local user credential policy enforcement, endpoint visibility and threat logging streamed to Meraki cloud.

7. Meraki M Tier Software Differentiator

The suffix “-M” denotes Meraki-managed licensing tier, enabling full zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), single-pane-of-glass Meraki cloud dashboard management, cloud-based firmware upgrades, remote troubleshooting, unified wired/wireless policy orchestration with Meraki MR access points, Adaptive Policy group-based traffic segmentation, cloud-native Flexible NetFlow telemetry, cross-site network visibility, and integration with Cisco SD-Access fabric architecture. It retains full IOS XE feature set while prioritizing cloud-first centralized operations versus on-prem Network Essentials/Advantage license tiers (-E/-A suffix models).
