Cisco Meraki MX105 Firewalls - Refurbished, Used, New

Best Selling

The Cisco Meraki MX105 is a rack-mount security appliance for mid-size campuses, larger branches and small data center edges, managed from the Meraki Dashboard. It combines stateful firewall, AutoVPN site-to-site tunnels, SD-WAN path selection and content inspection in one 1RU chassis, with 10G SFP+ ports for fiber WAN and LAN links and RJ45 ports for copper. Field-replaceable power supplies and fan modules make it the first MX in the line built for redundancy inside the box. NetworkTigers sells the MX105-HW appliance, MA-PWR-150WAC power supplies and MA-FAN-18K fan modules refurbished, used and new, and every unit is tested before it ships. MX105 appliances ship unclaimed, so they register to your own Dashboard organization, and each listing states whether the unit is Registrable / Unclaimed or Local Management Only.

Which MX105 configuration do I need?

Choose the MX105 when the site needs 10G fiber on the WAN or LAN side, or more users and VPN peers than the MX85 and MX95 comfortably carry, but does not need the port density of an MX250. Map the ports: 10G SFP+ for the internet circuits and the link to your core switch, RJ45 for a cable modem, management or a small local LAN. Decide on redundancy. Power supplies are sold separately so you can run one or two; a second MA-PWR-150WAC protects against a failed circuit, and a spare MA-FAN-18K keeps a remote site running without a truck roll. For site-level failover, buy two MX105-HW units and configure warm spare in the Dashboard. Check each listing for the power supplies, fans and rack ears included before you order, and plan transceivers for the SFP+ ports.

Frequently asked questions

Does a used MX105 need to be factory reset before I claim it?
No. Every MX105 NetworkTigers ships is unclaimed, meaning it is not associated with another organization's Meraki Dashboard. You add the serial to your own organization, assign it to a network, and it pulls its configuration from the cloud. A Meraki license is required and is sold separately.

Is the MA-FAN-18K the same part for the MX250 and MX450?
Yes. The MA-FAN-18K is the front-to-back fan module shared by the MX105, MX250 and MX450, so one spare covers all three if you run a mixed MX estate.

Can I use the MX105 as a one-armed VPN concentrator?
Yes. Like other MX models, the MX105 can run in VPN concentrator mode behind an existing firewall or in a data center, terminating AutoVPN tunnels from branch MX appliances.
