Cisco Meraki MX100 Secure SD-WAN Plus 5YR License and Support (LIC-MX100-SDW-5Y)All Cisco Meraki security appliances are equipped with SD-WAN capabilities that enable administrators to maximize network resiliency and bandwidth efficiency. This guide introduces the various components of Meraki SD-WAN and the possible ways in which to deploy a Meraki AutoVPN architecture to leverage SD-WAN functionality, with a focus on the recommended deployment architecture.What is SD-WAN?Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is a suite of features designed to allow the network to dynamically adjust to changing WAN conditions without the need for manual intervention by the network administrator. By providing granular control over how certain traffic types respond to changes in WAN availability and performance, SD-WAN can ensure optimal performance for critical applications and help to avoid disruptions of highly performance-sensitive traffic, such as VoIP. Additionally, SD-WAN can be a scalable and often much cheaper alternative to traditional WAN circuits like MPLS lines.MX100The Meraki MX100 is an enterprise security appliance designed for distributed deployments that require remote administration.
