Cisco Meraki MX84 Cloud Managed Security Appliance Firewall VPN 12-Port Wty

Cisco Meraki MX84 — Cloud-Managed Security Appliance

The Cisco Meraki MX84 is an enterprise security appliance and firewall delivering up to 500 Mbps stateful throughput, site-to-site VPN and content filtering — all managed from Meraki's cloud dashboard. A 1U rack-mount unit ideal for branch offices and mid-size sites, backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Requires an active Meraki licence to operate (not included).

• Cloud-First Management: Configure and monitor your whole network from anywhere through the intuitive Meraki dashboard — no on-box CLI needed.
• Enterprise Security: Stateful firewall, site-to-site and client VPN, content filtering and intrusion detection in one appliance.
• 500 Mbps Throughput: Comfortably handles mid-size sites of roughly 150–200 users.
• Flexible Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet ports plus SFP slots for fibre uplinks.
• Zero-Touch Deployment: Pre-configured units come online automatically once connected to the internet.
• 1U Rack-Mount: A compact, rack-friendly form factor for comms cabinets and server rooms.

Performance in Use

The MX84 is a security gateway for organisations that want enterprise protection without the complexity of traditional firewalls. Everything — firewall rules, VPN tunnels, content filtering, traffic analytics — is configured through the Meraki cloud dashboard, so a branch appliance can be provisioned centrally and shipped to site for zero-touch deployment.

At 500 Mbps of stateful firewall throughput it suits mid-size offices and branch locations, with site-to-site VPN making it straightforward to link multiple sites into one managed network. The dashboard's live analytics and reporting give clear visibility of traffic, clients and threats, which simplifies both day-to-day operations and compliance.

Important: like all Meraki hardware, the MX84 needs an active Meraki licence to function — the licence unlocks the dashboard and security features. This unit is supplied as hardware only; you (or your Meraki partner) supply the licence. The MX84 has also reached Cisco End-of-Life, so confirm your licence and support needs before deploying.
