What is the primary function of the Meraki dashboard in cloud management?

To act as a network monitoring tool that only displays real-time traffic statistics

To provide a centralized web-based interface for configuring and monitoring all Meraki devices

To provide a command-line interface (CLI) for advanced configuration of each device

To serve as a local application that must be installed on each administrator's computer

A large enterprise is planning to deploy Meraki devices globally. The network team wants to ensure that the dashboard remains responsive for administrators in different regions. How does the Meraki cloud architecture support this?

By providing a single global dashboard that is hosted in one data center.

By deploying multiple regional data centers and using anycast or load balancing to route administrators to the nearest one.

By requiring administrators to use a VPN to access the dashboard.

By caching dashboard data on each administrator's local computer.

What type of data do Meraki devices send to the cloud controller for telemetry reporting?

The encryption keys used for WPA2-Enterprise authentication

Device status, usage statistics, and event logs

The full contents of all user files stored on the network

Configuration changes made by the administrator

A company is deploying Meraki switches at a remote site with a strict firewall policy. The firewall team wants to allow only the minimum required outbound traffic for the switches to be managed by the Meraki cloud. Which set of destinations and ports should be allowed?

Allow outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) to the specific Meraki cloud domains and IP ranges documented by Cisco.

Allow outbound SSH (TCP 22) to the Meraki cloud for secure management traffic.

Allow outbound SNMP (UDP 161) to the Meraki cloud for monitoring and configuration.

Allow outbound ICMP to the Meraki cloud for keepalive and management.

A company is deploying Meraki devices and wants to ensure that only authorized administrators can access the dashboard. Which dashboard feature should be used to enforce this?

Setting up two-factor authentication for all dashboard users.

Configuring a site-to-site VPN to the dashboard.

Using the local status page to restrict access.

Enabling SNMP on the devices to monitor access.
