• A fixed access line to the customer's premises, which can be wired or wireless

• Customer premises equipment (CPE): A termination device located in the premises, such as a modem, router, or access point

• Installation services

• Additional Internet Services: Supplementary services, such as security solutions, static IP addresses, mailboxes, security licenses, and hosting

• Accessories: Additional hardware, such as access points, Wi-Fi extenders, and cables

• Business-specific features: Additional services not typically available to consumers, such as:

Business VPN

Business VPN: A wide-area network (WAN) solution that supports different WAN use-cases, such as Internet breakout to local access points, site connections, connections to a data center, and combinations of the following items:

• WAN site: A physical location where a site access line terminates and CPE is installed. To enable changes contained within a particular site and separate charges per site, a WAN site is considered to be a separate product element. The WAN solution assumes that a site access line already exists at customer premises.

• Ethernet virtual connection (EVC): An association between an EVC and a user network interface (UNI), such as an E-LINE EVC with two endpoints or an E-LAN with many endpoints. For virtual local area network (VLAN) based WANs such as an Ethernet virtual private (EVP) LAN, multiple endpoints can reside in a single UNI.

  

  Note

  For scalability, the Business VPN product model considers EVC endpoints to be part of a WAN site even though they typically considered to be part of an EVC.

• User network interface (UNI): A physical network interface port where equipment such as a customer LAN is connected. A single CPE item can host multiple UNIs, such as to terminate multiple EVCs or to enable protection schema.

• Customer premises equipment (CPE): A physical device typically exists at each customer site. However, its description in the product model can vary to support special circumstances such as the following:

  • Reusing existing CPE from another network solution previously deployed at the site

  • Multiple CPEs installed at a site to terminate different EVCs

  • When the UNI is on a provider edge (PE) router

SD-WAN

Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) provides application-level routing and traffic management capabilities across the WAN. In other words, SD-WAN facilitates high-level routing decisions based on the examination of the traffic flow across the WAN at the level of user applications. SD-WAN is a virtual solution that is agnostic to the underlying layer 1 and layer 2 architectures.

In the Cisco Meraki SD-WAN product model, the MX series of devices provide SD-WAN service connectivity and functionality. This product model includes offerings based on the following components, which you can customize based on your requirements:

• Meraki SD-WAN Offer Types

  Can be customized based on the following:

  • SD-WAN Bandwidth: 50, 100, or 200 Mbps

  • SD-WAN Network Topology: Independent Branch Locations, Fully Meshed, or Hub and Spoke

  • Contract Details: Month-to-month or yearly with the option to choose up to 10 years at once

• Meraki Device: This is the CPE that acts as the SD-WAN controller. After choosing the device model, select a license type, such as Enterprise, Advanced Security, or Secure SD-WAN Plus.

• SD-WAN Configuration

  Can be customized based on the following:

  • Secondary Transport: A combination of the bandwidth, SD-WAN subnet mask, gateway IP address, transport sequence, IP protocols, and gateway IP configuration

  • Primary Transport (Optional Add-on Service): A combination of bandwidth, SD-WAN subnet mask, gateway IP address, IP protocol, and gateway IP configuration
