Read the first 6 MS Switching and Network Segmentation flashcards as text

  1. Which Layer 3 routing capability is available on Meraki MS switches when configured as a Layer 3 switch?

    Answer: Static routes and OSPF inter-VLAN routing

    Meraki MS Layer 3 switches support static routing and OSPF, enabling inter-VLAN routing and dynamic route exchange with other L3 devices.

  2. What is the purpose of creating a 'Switch Virtual Interface (SVI)' on a Meraki MS Layer 3 switch?

    Answer: It provides a Layer 3 IP interface for a VLAN, enabling inter-VLAN routing on the switch itself

    An SVI is a logical IP interface assigned to a VLAN that allows the switch to route traffic between VLANs and serve as the default gateway for hosts in that VLAN.

  3. When a Meraki MS switch loses connectivity to the Meraki cloud, what happens to its switching and routing functions?

    Answer: It continues forwarding traffic using its last known configuration

    Meraki devices are designed with local intelligence; they store their configuration locally and continue to operate normally even when cloud connectivity is temporarily unavailable.

  4. What Meraki feature allows an administrator to remotely capture packets on a specific MS switch port for troubleshooting?

    Answer: Meraki dashboard packet capture tool

    The Meraki dashboard includes a built-in packet capture tool that can capture live traffic from switch ports or wireless interfaces and download the PCAP file for analysis.

  5. Which Meraki MS feature helps identify connected device types (IP phones, APs, cameras) automatically by reading LLDP/CDP neighbor data?

    Answer: LLDP/CDP neighbor discovery displayed in the dashboard

    Meraki MS switches collect LLDP and CDP neighbor information from connected devices and display device type, hostname, and capabilities in the dashboard port detail view.

  6. What is the recommended practice when deploying Meraki MS switches in a stacked or modular configuration for high availability?

    Answer: Connect redundant uplinks from each switch to separate upstream switches using LAG or RSTP

    For high availability, Meraki best practice recommends dual uplinks from each access switch to separate distribution switches, using LAG or relying on RSTP for redundancy.
