Appliance Port Management
Section titled “Appliance Port Management”Appliance port configuration in Meraki provides comprehensive LAN port management for network segmentation, VLAN assignment, and access control. This functionality enables organizations to create secure network boundaries, implement network isolation policies, and support diverse connectivity requirements across different network segments. Port configuration supports both trunk and access modes, enabling flexible network architecture designs while maintaining security through granular access policies and VLAN-based network segmentation.
