The Cisco Meraki MS225-24P-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 2 access switch designed for enterprise branch networks, campuses, and high-density deployments. It provides a combination of performance, scalability, and simplified cloud-based management through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard.
This switch features 24 x Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, allowing it to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly through Ethernet. It includes a 370W PoE power budget, enabling simultaneous power delivery across multiple devices.
For uplink and expansion, it provides 4 x 10Gb SFP+ ports for high-speed fiber connectivity, along with dual 80Gb stacking interfaces that allow multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit.
The MS225 series supports a non-blocking switching architecture with approximately 128 Gbps switching capacity, ensuring smooth traffic flow even under heavy network loads.
Managed entirely via the Meraki cloud platform, it enables zero-touch provisioning, remote monitoring, automatic firmware updates, and real-time network visibility, making it highly suitable for distributed enterprise environments where centralized control is important.
