Subscribers receive automatic firmware upgrades, security patches, and feature enhancements delivered through the Meraki cloud. This means your MX80 remains current against evolving threats without manual intervention. The license also covers access to Meraki’s technical resources and customer support during the term, ensuring you have help when you need it and that your security posture stays aligned with industry best practices.
• Comprehensive security capabilities at the edge: The MX80 delivers integrated firewalling, VPN, and threat protection for site-to-site and client VPN scenarios. With built-in intrusion prevention concepts, malware defense, and content filtering options, your network gains a robust security envelope at the network edge. The cloud-based policy engine lets you define and enforce granular rules across multiple sites, enabling consistent security standards from headquarters to remote locations. The 5-year license ensures that these capabilities remain supported and up-to-date throughout the term.
• Reliable connectivity and site-to-site protection: Meraki’s Auto VPN technology simplifies establishing secure, encrypted tunnels between locations. The MX80 can support multiple VPN tunnels with automatic failover and load balancing to maintain uptime even if a WAN link experiences issues. This license reinforces the reliability of your VPN fabric by ensuring ongoing updates, support, and optimization of VPN performance as your network grows. Combined with unified device monitoring, you’ll have clear insight into tunnel health, throughput, and compliance across all sites.
