Course Description

This training includes six modules or lessons designed to build your knowledge around the Meraki MX product from the ground up and touch on the majority of different architectures you might face in real-life network deployments.

  • Introduction

Good course. I gave four and half stars cause it says updated in 2024 but the lectures and Meraki interface was clearly recorded in 2017. I also feel he could slow down slightly during the navigation and configuration examples to give us more time to see what he is clicking on. Including a download file of the network diagram or config shortcuts would also be nice.

Good one lot of information showed in simple and practical way. you mentioned about VPN concentrator mode but we need to also define on the spoke to point to primary and secondary HUB. Typical enterprise requirement. Thanks

Thank you so much Fady for such a nice explanation to start with Meraki MX. I am new to Meraki world but this course is helping a lot. However, I was looking for some more insight about SDWAN feature of MX. Could you please suggest me any document or course. Thanks

The course is providing the information I need so far. I noticed the Meraki Dashboard is the old layout. It would be great if the course could be updated to the new UI so the clicks match 1:1, but otherwise, all the data points can be found with some searching.

Formation de bonne qualité. L'animateur aborde des éléments qui ne le sont pas dans les formations constructeur, de façon simple et pratique. J'ai fait cette formation en 2023, elle date de 2017, et reste malgré tout d'actualité dans les concepts.

By Anonymized User on 7/31/2023

Perfectly explained! Whether you are a beginner or not, it helps you understand and bring together all the different pieces of information on MX and provides a great foundation to learn further on your own.

I found your course "Cisco Meraki MX Deep Dive" to be particularly insightful and clear. Your approach to the subject matter was well-structured and easy to follow, making it an excellent resource for both beginners and experienced professionals.

By Arun Saini on 8/1/2022

The pace of the course is perfect to follow in terms of configuration and actually see it working in the Topology. I think it needs an update as per recent changes made to MX product family and features.

By Partha Pratim Sur on 10/16/2021

because he drifts away from topic to explain related technologies to give better understanding of the main topic... and he does it with a lot of experience in networks, he doesnt show irrelevant stuff

By Travis Wells on 6/11/2021

I have experience utilizing MX's as my organization requires firewall installs. I want to gain a better understanding of them and this is my ticket into being more productive at work. I think these videos are a great tool for me in learning new concepts
