The Key to Effective and Secure Port Management

Meraki dashboard view on laptop

Business works when the network works, and the importance of having a reliable and efficient network is critical. 

For example, imagine a smart office where digital signage shows available conference rooms, smart whiteboards power collaboration, and smart cameras ensure security—all connected to a network switch that is the backbone of everything.

If a port is configured incorrectly, these services could be interrupted, causing disruptions in productivity and potentially compromising the safety and security of the office. IT teams would then spend hours troubleshooting, delaying resolution and causing frustration for everyone.

Modern networks are increasingly complex. The Meraki cloud-managed switching platform provides an efficient way to manage networks across locations remotely, empowering IT teams to achieve scale effectively and intuitively. 

From (day) zero to hero with zero-touch provisioning 

A proactive approach to port management involves identifying and labeling all ports when deploying new switches. This prevents unauthorized access or accidental connection. Meraki zero-touch provisioning eliminates the need for dedicated on-site network staff and potential errors from manual configurations, optimizing both network management and security.  

Paul Campbell, CEO and Founder, Quaversal, discusses zero touch provisioning on the Cisco Champion Radio Podcast

Get the best of both worlds of security and sustainability

Being able to safely monitor usage and quickly detect anomalies requires keeping ports and devices on 24/7. But network switches can consume a significant amount of energy, even when not all ports are in use.  

With the Meraki switching port schedule feature, network teams can remotely and safely disable ports (on a set schedule, like after business hours). This limits access to authorized devices for enhanced security posture and also helps reduce energy consumption.   

Be adaptive to changing needs

As an organization continues to connect more devices to its network, managing port settings and configurations becomes increasingly complex. 

Port Profiles aims to solve the problem of highly repetitive and error-prone port configurations by allowing network teams to create a set of standardized attributes. These can then be applied to one or thousands of ports across the network, making initial and ongoing configuration a breeze. 

Let’s consider a hypothetical fast-food franchise that wants to add additional drive-through order monitors to multiple locations to improve the customer experience. Network teams can create a static profile that includes all the required settings and configurations for the monitors. They can then assign the profile to all targeted ports from the Meraki dashboard or API.

With the upcoming release of dynamic port profiles automation, if the monitors need to be moved to another port in the future, the port configuration is automatically applied. Port Profiles reduces the need for manual configuration or reconfiguration, saving time while minimizing errors and downtime.

As more comprehensive capabilities are added, Port Profiles will become more intelligent, with an increasing ability to dynamically and concisely assign to appropriate devices across a variety of networks.

Delivering Hybrid Work With a Team of One

Architects collaborating

Hybrid work is a huge opportunity for companies to create a more flexible work model that can improve employee satisfaction and retention while expanding their talent pool, but it also presents challenges in maintaining productivity and collaboration across different work environments. Small and medium-sized companies with limited IT resources may struggle the most. But don’t worry, there are solutions!

We recently hosted Aaron Sturniolo, IT Director at RRMM Architects, a Chesapeake Virginia-based firm with four offices and customers across many states, for a conversation about the setup and operation of his IT network for 150 employees using the Cisco Meraki cloud-based network platform.

Aaron shared valuable insights on what it takes to run a secure, distributed office network with a very small IT team. Watch the full webinar to hear practical tips from Aaron and learn how you can optimize your network for remote and hybrid work.

Q: Aaron, can you tell us about RRMM’s hybrid work environment?

A: Our hybrid work journey started when our staff had to work remotely during the pandemic. We needed a solution that was secure, reliable, and user friendly to allow folks to work from home and remain collaborative. With the Meraki MX security appliances already in place in all of our offices for secure VPN connectivity, we supplied MX security devices to all our employees. This allowed us to easily extend security anywhere folks were located.

Over the last year, our setup has allowed us to evolve our hybrid work model, with employees in the office two to three days a week.

Q: What have been the key ways you’ve kept employees productive and motivated?

A. Mainly it’s been the reliability and ease of use of the Meraki platform.

Users have the opportunity to continue working with their MX devices while at home, which provides the ease of just turning on their laptops. It automatically connects to Wi-Fi using the same ID that we use at the office.

We also leverage Meraki Systems Manager mobile device management (MDM) to remotely access their devices to troubleshoot connectivity issues. It also allows the user to come into the office and plop down almost anywhere and either join the Wi-Fi or plug into our data network and use the resources that we have in the office.

All of these benefits keep people happy and help them stay productive, and that’s the biggest thing we’re trying to do.

Q: Can you tell us about how you’ve done IT all on your own?

A: One of the ways I’ve been able to save so much time was through the configuration templates in the Meraki dashboard. When we had to send about 70 MX devices to employees’ homes, we created a perfect configuration and then copied that to all the devices. We just selected the source and the devices we wanted and hit copy. This gave every employee the same content filtering, firewalls, and other static information that we needed to have programmed for them. It’s quick and easy to do through the dashboard.

Some of the benefits that RRMM Architects sees are thanks to Aaron’s IT leadership and the solutions he’s implemented, including:

  • Reduced IT headcount costs
  • Faster and easier issue resolution
  • Increased employee productivity and security
  • Reduced hiring costs by finding employees from a broader geography close to key clients

Watch the recorded webinar to hear more useful best practices and try the Meraki dashboard for yourself to see how easy it is to conquer hybrid work.

Make Zero-Touch Dashboard Provisioning a Reality

Ekahau Sidekick 2 heat map

This article was contributed by Meraki technology partner Ekahau.

The Meraki dashboard is packed with useful features designed to simplify network management. However, many features require accurate provisioning of access point (AP) locations to unlock location-specific insights, and for network deployments with tens, hundreds, or thousands of APs, a primary pain point is manually provisioning the dashboard to show the geolocation of each AP.

Challenges with manual entry 

Manually provisioning APs can be both slow and highly prone to errors. Even a small mistake in misidentifying a few AP locations can result in inaccurate geolocation data, causing devices to appear to teleport between floors or across the building. This can create significant challenges when troubleshooting and cause major headaches for IT teams.

Zero-touch. Seriously.

Ekahau Zero-Touch Dashboard Provisioning utilizes the accuracy of the Ekahau Sidekick 2 device and Ekahau software to automatically identify and map AP locations in the Meraki dashboard. By simply walking around the site with the Sidekick 2, you can capture accurate location data and, with a single click, export the results for a fully provisioned network based on trusted and verified data.

This new integration saves you time and eliminates mistake-prone manual entry, and it works just as well for established networks as it does for brand new installed networks.

Save time on regular operations and maintenance

Once provisioned, the Meraki dashboard and Ekahau Sidekick 2 become a powerhouse combo for ongoing network health checks and troubleshooting. Real-time alerts from the Meraki dashboard can identify problem areas, and the Ekahau Sidekick 2 with Survey and Analyzer apps can perform more in-depth, on-the-spot troubleshooting right from a phone or tablet. 

The Sidekick 2 provides an outside-in view of network performance, which, when combined with the Meraki dashboard, means less time spent troubleshooting and fewer network outages—resulting in fewer truck rolls and flights (and more money saved for other priority projects).

How to get started

Whether you’re deploying a new network, are in the middle of a refresh cycle, or have regular changes to your environment, this integration will save you time and enable the most accurate dashboard provisioning possible.

If you’re already an Ekahau and Meraki customer, check out the step-by-step setup guide in the Meraki Marketplace to get started today.

Education in the Age of Distraction

Mobile technology provides the incredible ability to communicate, connect, learn, and teach. Educators are especially aware of the power of mobile devices as teaching tools—enabling remote/hybrid learning environments of recent years and more engaging in-person classrooms today. 

As effective as this technology can be as an educational tool, it’s often even more powerful as a distractor. Educational environments today face new challenges in managing both student productivity and data privacy, particularly with the rise of popular social media apps like TikTok. 

With intuitive and customizable Mobile Device Management (MDM) from Meraki Systems Manager (SM), educators can provide focused, optimized, and secure classroom experiences.

Protecting students devices…and their attention spans

Both university and K-12 students are spending an inordinate amount of time on TikTok while in school. This app and other social media platforms don’t only pose a threat to students’ learning capabilities, but could potentially threaten their data privacy as well. Schools today need to find ways to limit distractions and protect their students as best as possible. With Systems Manager MDM they can do just that. 

By utilizing SM, IT administrators can use integrated Cisco security tech like Cisco Umbrella to monitor and control specific application access on school-owned and (even more crucially) student-owned mobile devices. Any device connected to an educational network, either through an MR access point or MX SD-WAN, can be prevented from accessing any type of content, including on a per-app basis. These capabilities empower schools to protect students while on their IT networks and keep them focused on class rather than the newest viral TikTok.

Optimizing educational tools

The use of technology in educational environments continues to grow and evolve: as many as 94% of K-12 schools, for example, utilize school-owned tablets in everyday classroom environments. These can be essential for learning experiences, but without proper device management they can easily become distractors. 

With Systems Manager, school-owned mobile devices can become honed and focused, lean, mean teaching machines. Administrators can control what applications or websites are accessible on devices, and even lock devices on certain applications for certain time ranges. 

For example, during a trigonometry class, a tablet could be configured to access only a certain set of graphing or calculator applications. In the next period, the same tablet could be allowed access to an e-textbook for history class. Administrators can access a broad assortment of customizations for their school-managed devices. The solutions are endless, but also seamless and intuitive.

Administrators also have access to integrated security tools like Secure Client, Cisco Security Connector, or Cisco Umbrella that are compatible with a variety of devices across macOS, Android, Windows, and iOS platforms. 

Conclusion

Mobile technology has revolutionized the way we learn and educators recognize the potential of these devices as effective teaching tools. However, both school-owned and student-owned devices can be distracting in learning environments and the use of certain applications can leave students vulnerable to data privacy concerns. 

With Systems Manager, educational IT specialists can enforce rules on both managed and unmanaged devices, creating learning environments that protect students’ privacy and focus while in class. Learn more on how SM can be used to help optimize and secure learning environments at our Meraki MDM webpage.

Digital Transformation Can Protect Our Future

Digital transformation and sustainability concept

Antonio Grasso is Founder and CEO of Digital Business Innovation Srl. Antonio is regarded as one of the top digital transformation influencers and researchers on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and sustainability. The opinions expressed in this article are his and not those of Cisco. 

Three years ago while I was attending Cisco Live in Barcelona, I finally noticed the subtle bridge in the Cisco logo. Increasingly, it is also ferrying us towards the Internet of Everything, the network that will allow us to move beyond connecting with each other to a connection with objects, businesses, organization processes, and data.

As we continue to evolve into a digital civilization, we should be mindful of the energy it takes and the environmental trade-offs that come along the way. Although we appreciate global leaders’ efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we should take a proactive role and add some “green nuances” to our daily business decisions. The actions we perform—no matter how insignificant they may appear on the surface—carry impacts. In determining which actions to take and how best to reduce emissions, we should be proactive and recognize that we are working toward the same vision.

Today, we have the opportunity to act based on our collective conscience, but we also have the certainty that failing to act decisively and strategically may put the future in jeopardy. 

Change begins with small steps

While doing research for this article, I kept coming back to the idea that small steps can give way to major achievements. According to a study by Cisco Meraki, if 1,000 ports were shut down for 12 hours, it would save 43,500 kWh of energy per year (or a cost savings of over $20,000 USD). Beyond this, through automating controls and proactively monitoring the temperature of data centers and workplaces, it can trim operating costs and carbon emissions by anywhere from 20% to 50%.

Smart spaces, green efficiency

Making the workplace “smart” by leveraging connected Internet of things (IoT) devices can contribute to energy savings and reduced emissions by monitoring the environment and calibrating for efficiency. It can also offer a healthier and more intelligent work culture. 

You may be thinking, that sounds wonderful in theory, but wouldn’t it be an organizational challenge to implement?

A case in point

As exemplified in this case study by WPP plc—the British multinational communications, advertising, public relations, technology, and commerce holding company—managing everything through a single, cloud-based dashboard can be simple and highly effective. It can help the organization reduce its energy emissions from technology while also measuring its carbon footprint to help optimize efforts for implementation in the future.

WPP plc employs over 109,000 people in 110 countries. They understand the need for both organizational efficiency and sustainability and have challenged themselves to:

  • Foster a dynamic workplace through the transformative power of information technology 
  • Achieve net zero scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025, and scope 3 by 2030
  • Create agile and flexible management practices for resources and office spaces

To achieve these ambitious targets, WPP partnered with Meraki to achieve impressive results. The team deployed Meraki MT environmental sensors, Cisco wireless and mobility solutions, and Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches. With these tools in place, WPP has been able to:

  • Create flexible office spaces with complete workplace mobility
  • Oversee smart facilities management
  • Prototype new technologies and work styles

Digital, green business transformation

The success of WPP plc demonstrates that achieving sustainability measures can strengthen both efficiency and competitiveness.

The more automation and organization that is built into infrastructure and processes, the more efficient they become—and that can ultimately transform an organization’s bottom line and also the consumption of resources and overall sustainability impact. 

It is possible to combine digital innovation and sustainability. Arm yourself with the will, structure, and partnerships to make it happen!

Game On: Enhance College Programs With Esports

esports team celebrating

In the summer of 2016, the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) was formed. Three years later, ESPN Events announced the first-ever ESPN Collegiate Esports Championship (CEC), where hundreds of colleges across North America would compete in a variety of online games—from League of Legends to Call of Duty to FIFA. 

Then came 2020, just a year after the inaugural tournament, and it felt like “game over.” With the pandemic leading to canceled events and in-person activities, schools were forced to close their doors and open virtual classrooms. From kindergarten through graduate school, populations of students from around the globe were online in remote settings, but still connected with peers thanks to the web. 

Attracting a new team of student athletes 

While many athletes could no longer compete on their respective playing grounds, some found footing in a new competitive gaming environment and were connected to an already growing community. This increased interest helped to level up collegiate esports gaming by capturing the hearts and minds of student athletes during this time of hybrid learning flux; schools took notice—and acted.

By building competitive programs, modernizing facilities, and updating their technology, colleges and universities have learned and are continuing to find they can attract new students and enhance intercollegiate athletic experiences for both players and spectators alike, regardless of where they are. 

Transforming spaces into multi-use arenas: Ottawa University

Ottawa University (OU) in Kansas took an innovative and sustainable approach to creating an esports space for their Braves gaming team by repurposing an unused theatre from 1906 into a multi-use gaming area

Adam Caylor, the school’s CTO, worked with Cisco Meraki alongside his IT team to power the space with a reliable, secure connection that could support up to 200 devices at a time as well as segment the network. 

Because of the multi-use nature of the space, OU relies on Meraki to segment the on-campus network from the esports network, which comes with its own unique requirements for online gaming. The wired network infrastructure is essential to the competitive online environment to prevent ping or latency. 

Because of the multi-use nature of the space, the old theater went from not being used at all to becoming a place for learning and gaming all in one. 

Glitch-proof gaming for the win: Illinois College

When deciding to launch their esports program, Illinois College knew they needed a high-density, reliable, and secure network to support a room full of gamers eager to win the League of Legends championship without a glitch. 

They built a brand-new facility in the middle of campus and equipped it with Meraki MR access points, MS switches, and MX security appliances, which help create a reliable, secure gaming environment for students. The team can now compete in tournaments without latency or network outage issues.

Illinois College currently has a dedicated gaming center powered by Meraki solutions, complete with computer and console gaming stations, and is continuing to grow. The college’s athletics program now provides full-ride scholarships to students wanting to join the esports team, opening up new opportunities and incentives to prospective students. 

Hybrid learning, hybrid sports

NACE collegiate members with varsity esports programs have grown from 7 in 2016 to over 240 in the United States today, with no sign of slowing. As colleges and universities reimagine how they can offer enhanced student experiences in a hybrid environment, offering competitive esports programs may be just the assist they need for the win.

Learn more about how Meraki helped Ottawa University and Illinois College take an innovative approach to esports.
