Meraki Test Lab?

[gfrazier]

I was wondering if there is any sort of Meraki online testing lab to where you can setup and test a network design before purchasing and putting the devices into production.

@gfrazier Meraki offer try before you buy, they will send you brand new hardware, if you like it can can simply purchase the equipment, if not you can return it.

I was hoping that since it is cloud-managed, there would be some way to setup the configs on a virtual setup.

Not that I have seen however reach out to your sales rep as you never know.

Generally testing means connecting something to it - preferably your 'thing', used by your people, accessing your apps in your way. Free trials are definitely the best 😁
If you just want to see something configured, you may be able to go through your Meraki account team, to get a demo - it depends how involved that is. You may be able to get something similar from your preferred Cisco partner, too.
