Meraki MX400 MX400-HW User Manual

Increased Reliability with Multiple WAN Links and 3G/4G Failover

Multiple WAN ports with balancing and failover enable the use of redundant commodity Internet connections, providing additional bandwidth
and higher reliability. For remote sites where multiple wireline providers are difficult to secure, the Cisco Meraki MX can fail over to 3G/4G
wireless Internet connections.

Reduce Bandwidth Costs with Web Caching and WAN Optimization

Web caching temporarily stores video, media, and web documents, lowering bandwidth usage and accelerating the download speed of Inter-
net content like YouTube videos and other media.

WAN optimization dramatically improves application performance and reduce bandwidth requirements at remote sites. All Cisco Meraki
MX appliances include WAN optimization at no additional charge. The MX60 and MX60W feature basic WAN optimization, while the MX80,
MX90, MX400, and MX600 feature advanced WAN optimization.

Basic WAN optimization includes link compression and protocol optimization. Link compression reduces TCP traffic by 20% - 30%, and proto-
col optimization accelerates Windows File Sharing (CIFS), FTP, and HTTP transfers.

Advanced WAN optimization adds high-capacity byte-level caching for additional performance improvements, employing a universal data
store to maximize the effectiveness of the cache.
