I am just looking at creating one big LAN between the sites. I am not up to scratch on my layer of the firewall but it looks like it will do what I need.

Layer 2 - computers in the same subnet talking<br />
Layer 3 - when leaving the subnet a computer talks to the gateway (router) to get to a different subnet. <br />
Layer 7 - application layer. So you can bandwidth limit or block streaming audio in a Meraki very easily.

Dear All <br />
<br />
I am planing to buy several Merak firewalls MX64 or MX80, I have 6 sites that I want to connect together via site to site. From what I have read this is possible but I wanted to see what your thoughts are. <br />
<br />
If you can revert back I would be most grateful.<br />

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
