FAQs

Is the MX250 suitable for very small offices?

Yes, the appliance is often deployed by authorised resellers to consolidate security and SD-WAN services in branch or small offices. It may be over-spec’d for a handful of users, but it ensures you will not need an upgrade as the business grows.

What licensing model does Cisco Meraki use?

Meraki operates on a simple subscription model covering firmware, cloud management and 24 × 7 support. Hardware and licence must be co-termed; license pricing in Australia varies by term and feature set.

How does the MX250 protect an online workforce?

Integrated client VPN, Auto-VPN, IDS/IPS and advanced malware protection together create an encrypted, policy-based fabric for remote staff, delivering the same security policies whether users are on-site or off-site.

Can I stack multiple MX250 units for redundancy?

Yes. Two units can be configured as a warm-spare pair using Meraki’s HA features, providing seamless fail-over and state synchronisation.

Licensing and Support

Every MX250 requires an Enterprise or Advanced Security licence; term options range from one to ten years. Bundled support includes next-business-day hardware replacement, firmware updates and 24 × 7 phone assistance. Contact your local authorised reseller for hardware bundles and license pricing Australia wide.
