Cisco Meraki Z4 Z4X Teleworker Gateway Network Security Appliance

The Cisco Meraki Z4 Network Security Appliance, part number Z4X, is an enterprise-class teleworker gateway designed to extend secure, cloud-managed networking to remote offices, home workspaces, and distributed locations. Combining firewall, VPN gateway, router, and wireless functionality in a wall-mountable design, the Z4 provides centralized management through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard. Its Wi-Fi 6 capability supports modern wireless clients, while five Gigabit Ethernet ports provide reliable wired connectivity for network devices, workstations, and voice equipment.

One Ethernet port supports Power over Ethernet, allowing compatible VoIP phones and other powered devices to receive network connectivity and power through a single cable. The Z4 supports Layer 3 and Layer 7 stateful firewall protection, configurable VLANs, DHCP services, static routing, and flexible 1:1 and 1:Many NAT configurations. These features help administrators build secure network segments and control traffic between local and remote resources without requiring complex on-site management.

For secure remote access, the Cisco Meraki Z4 supports client VPN connectivity along with Meraki AutoVPN and IPSec VPN endpoint functionality. Custom traffic shaping helps prioritize important applications and manage bandwidth, while historical client usage statistics provide visibility into network activity over time. Automatic firmware upgrades help keep the appliance current with the latest features and security improvements. With cloud-based administration and a compact form factor, the Cisco Meraki Z4 Z4X is well suited for secure, centrally managed connectivity in telework and small distributed-site environments.
