About the Cisco Meraki MS MS225-24P-HW Cisco Meraki switch
The Cisco Meraki MS225-24P-HW delivers 24 Gigabit PoE+ downlink ports paired with 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, engineered for mid-market access and aggregation roles. This cloud-managed switch combines 128 Gbps switching capacity with 370 W of PoE power in a compact 1U form factor, making it ideal for organizations modernizing branch offices, retail locations, and campus networks. Cisco Meraki's centralized Dashboard eliminates on-premises management complexity while supporting virtual stacking for seamless multi-unit deployments.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams select the MS225-24P-HW for its proven reliability and operational simplicity. The switch supports advanced Layer 2 features—802.1X authentication, VLAN segmentation up to 1024, and Spanning Tree variants—while maintaining 95.2 Mpps forwarding performance. With jumbo frame support (9,000 bytes MTU) and a 16,000-entry MAC table, it handles enterprise-scale traffic without bottlenecks. Built-in PoE+ eliminates separate power injectors for IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras, reducing infrastructure costs. The modular 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink architecture scales to 25G or 40G transceivers, future-proofing your network investment.
