About the Cisco Meraki MX105-HW Security Appliance

Stateful Firewall, IPS/IDS, AMP, and Content Filtering come built into the Cisco Meraki MX105-HW — no separate licensing required to deploy comprehensive threat detection and prevention across your network edge. This 1U rack-mountable security appliance delivers 3 Gbps stateful firewall throughput and 1 Gbps advanced security throughput, making it suitable for mid-market organizations protecting up to 500 concurrent users. The MX105-HW combines traditional perimeter security with modern application-layer visibility, anti-malware protection, and geo-IP filtering in a single, cloud-managed platform.

Built by Cisco, the MX105-HW integrates seamlessly into hybrid WAN architectures through native SD-WAN capabilities, application-aware routing, and active failover support. Network engineers benefit from dual 10G SFP+ ports alongside 2 WAN and 8 LAN Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, plus USB 3.0 for cellular failover modem integration. VPN options include Auto VPN for site-to-site connectivity, IPsec/IKEv2 client VPN, and split tunneling. Centralized provisioning through the Cisco Meraki Cloud Dashboard eliminates manual device configuration, while dual redundant power supplies and VRRP-based warm spare failover ensure business continuity. Operating across 0°C to 40°C and housed in a compact 1.73 x 17.3 x 18.5 inch footprint, the MX105-HW fits standard rack deployments with minimal physical footprint.

Typical Enterprise Deployments

  • Multi-site organizations requiring site-to-site Auto VPN and centralized security policy enforcement
  • Branch offices needing WAN health monitoring and active/active failover across dual internet circuits
  • Remote workforce support via client VPN with Layer 7 application visibility and traffic shaping
  • Retail and hospitality chains implementing geo-IP filtering and anti-malware across distributed locations
  • SD-WAN migrations where application-aware routing and WAN optimization accelerate business-critical traffic
