Meraki MX Security and SD-WAN Licensing
The Meraki MX is a multi-functional security & SD-WAN enterprise appliance with a wide set of capabilities to address multiple use cases for organizations of all sizes, in all industries.
Given the range of use cases that can be solved, there are three license options for the MX appliance that provides customers the flexibility to select the license most appropriate for their intended use.
Enterprise | Advanced Security | Secure SD-WAN Plus |
|---|---|---|
“All I require is Auto VPN and a firewall” | “I connect directly to the Internet so need a UTM too” | “My business is reliant on SaaS/IaaS/DC served apps” |
|
|
|
The licensing structure for MX appliances is the same as that of any other Meraki device – 1:1 ratio of devices to licenses. Pair your chosen MX appliance(s) with the relevant license for your use case
