In this Administering Meraki MS / Catalyst Switches 4-day Cisco Official course provides a comprehensive, hands-on overview of Cisco Meraki for Government switching solutions, guiding participants through the design, deployment, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of secure government-compliant networks. Learners begin with an introduction to the Meraki for Government platform, including product capabilities, support models, and licensing structures tailored for government environments, ensuring a clear understanding of compliance, lifecycle management, and operational considerations. The curriculum then explores the Meraki for Government switching portfolio, including Meraki switches, Catalyst 9000 switch integrations, mGig capabilities, and access point interoperability, establishing a strong foundation for designing modern government wired networks.
As the course progresses, students gain in-depth, practical experience configuring the Meraki Dashboard for government networks, covering organizational design, administrator roles, inventory management, firmware control, templates, and network-wide policies. Detailed configuration modules focus on Meraki switch deployment, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, routing, multicast, VRRP warm spare configurations, OSPF, access control lists, 802.1X authentication, RADIUS integration, port profiles, VLAN profiles, and staged upgrades. Spanning Tree design and configuration are addressed in detail, along with cloud monitoring and management of Catalyst switches using the Meraki Dashboard in both monitoring and managed modes.
The course emphasizes security, visibility, and operational excellence for government environments through advanced topics such as ISE integration, TrustSec and Adaptive Policy for software-defined segmentation, infrastructure security features, NetFlow, IPv6 design and security, and comprehensive monitoring and alerting. Learners develop structured troubleshooting skills using dashboard analytics, logs, packet analysis, and switch-level tools, and conclude with automation and integration using Meraki APIs, Python, Ansible, Postman, and action batches. By the end of the course, participants are equipped to design, secure, operate, and automate Cisco Meraki for Government switching environments that meet stringent reliability, security, and compliance requirements
