Course content

1 section • 5 lectures • 2h 9m total length

  • Introduction27:01

    This section covers the IT trends and how the industry changed, and the new expectations of modern networks.

    Key topic covered:

    • What are the challenges in modern networks?

    • What is segmentation and the importance of security?

    • How does the SD-WAN fit in the current expectations?

    • What does "Network as a sensor" mean?

    • How does AI work with Meraki platform?

  • Get started - Building Meraki platform46:23

    This section covers the basics of building the Meraki platform.

    Key topics covered:

    • How do templates work?

    • What are the best practices to segment your users? Split users into different groups (i.e. Corp, Limited, Guest, etc.)

    • How to use Windows NPS (RADIUS) to control your users and use some of the attributes to enforce a specific policy to the Meraki platform?

    • How to control your guest users across wireless and wired connections?

    • How to use Meraki Systems Manager to control the endpoints on the network?

    In this lesson, you will learn how to deploy all the points mentioned above in an actual lab.

    This section covers the benefits of SD-WAN and the importance to utilize the links in your network.

    Key topics covered in this section:

    • How to use load balancing, policy-based routing and performance-based routing?

    • When to use Dynamic routing and how to implement BGP?

    • How to Meraki SD-WAN to third party networks?

    In the lab, all the points above are covered with step by step guide of what are the best practices to deliver SD-WAN and integrate with third-party networks via dynamic routing.

  • Network as a Sensor28:14

    This section covers the power of the platform and APIs.

    Key topics covered in the section:

    • The scanning API and the use of Node-Red.

    • Dashboard API and building Webex BOT.

    API is an open-ended topic, and this section will help you to get started with API.

  • Platform Efficiency9:10

    This section covers the newly developed features based on AI on the Meraki cloud.

    Key topics covered in the section:

    • Meraki Insight - More visibility on the WAN and the Application performance.

    • Wireless health - Analyse the wireless environment and direct your attention to any anomaly.

    The demo is covering how those reports are useful and when to be used.

Requirements

  • No prerequisites required

Description

This training includes five lessons designed to build your knowledge around the Meraki platform. The content focused on best practices and the integration with other systems like NAC servers and Bots.

Here is a short snapshot of the lessons:


Introduction:

We took a step back to understand the industry's shift and how modern networks' expectations changed. Then, we dived into how to construct a solution with Meraki's platform.


Get Started - Building a Meraki platform:

In this part of the training, I started to get into the details of configuring the different parts of every network needs. Basically, I am covering the foundations here.


SDWAN and Dynamic routing (BGP):

Modern networks based on SDWAN, and in this section, I covered how to configure SDWAN using Meraki's platform. Using dynamic routing is critical when you gradually move from one platform to another or integrate third-party networks; I will walk you through configuring BGP and exchanging routes from Meraki to Non-Meraki networks.


Network as a Sensor:

Nowadays, businesses expect the network to deliver a lot of insights that help improve the operations and offer business intelligence to make critical decisions. I will walk you through some examples of how to use the Meraki platform to deliver those outcomes.


Platform Efficiency:

Intent-based networking is the future, and in this section, I will walk you through that concept and how it can be implemented with the Meraki platform.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner with Meraki
  • New to IT
  • Beginner with API and programmability
  • Interested in SDWAN
  • Want to learn about the Meraki best practices
