Network Infrastructure Management Settings
Section titled “Network Infrastructure Management Settings”Switch general settings configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with comprehensive control over fundamental network infrastructure parameters, enabling VLAN management, power optimization, client monitoring, and security policy enforcement. This functionality supports management VLAN assignment, Power over Ethernet optimization, network client sampling, MAC address filtering, and operational visibility enhancement. General switch settings are essential for network administration, device management, security implementation, and performance monitoring in enterprise environments.
