A large university is deploying Meraki access points across multiple campuses. The network team is concerned about the reliability of the cloud management platform. Which architectural feature of the Meraki cloud ensures that management remains available even if one data center fails?

The cloud controller is deployed as a virtual appliance in each campus and synchronizes with the central cloud.

Devices maintain connections to multiple cloud controllers simultaneously and can fail over instantly.

The Meraki cloud uses multiple redundant data centers with load balancing and automatic failover, so devices connect to an available endpoint.

Each device stores a full copy of the cloud controller software and can act as a controller for other devices.

A company is deploying Meraki devices and wants to ensure that only authorized administrators can access the dashboard. The company also wants to ensure that all dashboard access is logged for auditing. Which combination of features should be used?

SSH access to the dashboard and SNMP monitoring.

A strong password policy and a VPN to the dashboard.

Two-factor authentication and the dashboard's audit log.

IP allowlisting and the local status page.

A retail chain is deploying Meraki cameras and access points across hundreds of stores. The IT team is concerned about the scalability of the cloud management platform as they add more devices. Which aspect of the Meraki cloud architecture directly supports scaling to thousands of devices?

The cloud controller is a single powerful server that can handle all devices.

Each device maintains a separate VPN tunnel to the cloud controller, increasing bandwidth usage.

The cloud platform is designed with a multi-tenant architecture that can scale horizontally by adding more resources.

Devices are grouped into networks, and each network has its own dedicated cloud controller.

How does the Meraki cloud architecture provide redundancy for the cloud controller?

It uses multiple geographically distributed data centers with automatic failover

It relies on a single primary controller with manual failover

It requires each organization to deploy a redundant pair of on-premises controllers

It uses a peer-to-peer mesh of Meraki devices to provide controller services

How does the Meraki cloud architecture handle customer data with respect to data privacy?

It stores all customer data in a single global data center

It shares customer data with third parties for marketing purposes

It encrypts customer data only during transmission, not at rest

It allows customers to choose the geographic region where their data is stored
