Technical Details of Meraki Z4C Enterprise + Support - Subscription License - 1 License - 5 Year

Licensing model: Subscription license for a single Meraki Z4C security and SD-WAN appliance, valid for five years, with access to Meraki cloud services, firmware updates, and enterprise-level support.

Included licenses: 1 license corresponding to one Z4C device. Additional devices require additional licenses to extend coverage and management through the Meraki Dashboard.

Management & updates: All firmware updates and feature advancements are delivered via the Meraki Cloud Dashboard, ensuring the device remains current without manual intervention. This continuous update model helps maintain security posture and performance across branches.

Device role: Meraki Z4C is designed as a security and SD-WAN appliance for branch offices, providing firewall, VPN termination, application-aware routing, and centralized policy enforcement managed entirely through the Meraki platform.

Security features: Integrated firewall rules, VPN (site-to-site and client VPN), NAT traversal, content filtering options, and optional threat protection features contribute to a robust security posture for distributed networks.

Performance and scale: Built to handle typical small-to-mid-size branch workloads with reliable reliability and cloud-based management to simplify operations as you expand to more sites or users.

Warranty and support: Enterprise-level support is included with the license term, providing access to Meraki’s cloud-based management services and assistance to resolve issues affecting network health and uptime.

UPC/SKU: Not provided in product data. This section references the product’s official UPC or SKU from vendor catalogs; if your procurement needs require these identifiers, please consult your distributor or vendor portal for the exact figures tied to your order.

Operational notes: A stable internet connection is required for full Meraki Dashboard management and policy enforcement. The Z4C maintains local functionality for routing and VPN, but ongoing configuration and dashboard-based policy changes rely on cloud connectivity.

how to install Meraki Z4C

• Prepare your network and account: Ensure you have an active Meraki Dashboard account and the necessary permissions to create or modify networks. Gather the serial number of the Z4C device and confirm you have an internet connection at the location where you will deploy the appliance.
• Connect the hardware: Power the Z4C and connect its WAN port(s) to your internet service provider’s line(s). If you have multiple WAN connections, configure the appropriate failover or load-balancing strategy within the Meraki Dashboard after adoption.
• Power up and access Meraki Cloud: Once powered, the Z4C will appear in the Meraki Dashboard as an unadopted device at the network level you choose. Ensure the device has network reach to the Meraki cloud endpoints for discovery.
• Adopt and configure: In the Meraki Dashboard, adopt the Z4C to your selected network. Apply baseline security policies, firewall rules, and SD-WAN routing preferences aligned with your site’s role (branch office, remote site, or data center). Enable VPNs as needed for site-to-site or client connections.
• Apply licensing and verify: Ensure the 5-year subscription license is attached to the Z4C within the Dashboard. Verify device status, connectivity to the cloud, and that firmware is up to date. Set up alerts and monitoring to track performance metrics such as throughput, connection quality, and security events.
