For the list price of 1 Meraki I could get 10.4 Ubiquiti switches.
That's insane!
wait, what? I thought you said it was $350? You found EdgeSwitches for under $35/ea? What port counts are you talking about here?
No, $350 was just the meraki License. The unit it's self list for close to $7500
cought for what?

The MS250-48 list for $7500, on top of that you need to purchase the license which on the low end was $350/year.

Does this mean the switch has some form of UTM or that the controller at Meraki does, and this switch can just tie in.

@dashrender You do remember "2 month's free" right. . . ?

They can do some UTM... but when I was using them it was completely port and destination based. As in, we see all of this traffic going to facebook.com over port 443.

not that it matters, but my question would be - is it killed the the closest part to the user, or is it killed at the firewall on outbound traffic?

What do you mean? I used the wrong term. The switches do packet inspection based on destination and port. You can do dropping at the switch level or at the firewall level. But you can do that on most enterprise switches, even the Netgear I was using at the last job could do that.

It's not really something I've ever used. Just part of an ACL you can drop into place. Our network team here uses that functionality fairly extensively.

Perhaps my new Unifi switches can do it, my old HP's were rather limited, I don't think they could do something like this.
