About This Product
The Meraki MS210-24 is a 24-port Gigabit switch designed for cloud-managed Layer 2 access, ideal for branch offices and small campus environments. It features four 1G SFP uplink ports and can be physically stacked with the Meraki MS225 (sold separately) to utilize its 10G uplink capabilities. For enhanced power redundancy, it supports a rack-mountable power supply unit (Cisco RPS-2300, sold separately).

Engineered for simplicity without sacrificing enterprise-grade performance, the MS210-24 is managed entirely through Meraki’s user-friendly cloud dashboard—eliminating the need for complex command-line configurations. Deployment is straightforward: just connect the switch, with no need for manual setup or on-site access.

Meraki’s centralized management platform offers comprehensive network visibility, allowing administrators to monitor switch capacity across multiple locations and track configuration changes by user with powerful search tools.

Converged voice, video and data environments
The Meraki MS210-24 is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. It supports rich quality of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritising data, voice, and video traffic. This switch supports eight (8) class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling it to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritisation. Meraki MC products (sold separately) work flawlessly with Meraki switches, and create a unique and powerful experience to installing, supporting and troubleshooting VoIP technology.

Application layer visibility
The MS210-24 includes integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting. Identify hundreds of applications from business apps to BitTorrent and YouTube. User fingerprinting with Google-like search allows administrators to easily identify and control individual users, PCs, iMacs, iPads, Androids, and other devices. This unprecedented visibility allows optimising of network resources and maintaining optimal network performance.

Unified software architecture
The Meraki MS210-24 runs the same Meraki operating system used by all of Meraki’s products. The use of a common operating system allows Meraki to deliver a consistent experience across all product lines. When connected, the Meraki MS210-24 switch automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads configurations, and joins the appropriate network. If new firmware is required, this is retrieved by the switch and updated automatically. This ensures the network is kept up-to date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.

Simplified management and operations
Meraki’s cloud-managed architecture makes it simpler than ever to quickly provision and reconfigure switch ports with security, QoS, and other parameters. The Meraki dashboard provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, which make it easy to manage and grow large network deployments. By providing a complete, powerful set of management functions over the web, Meraki’s cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces, which require expensive and time consuming certifications. The Meraki MS210-24 can be fully deployed and provisioned in minutes, without requiring any local configuration or staging. Additional or replacement switches can be sent to remote offices and installed by non-technical staff, saving thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses. The Meraki MS210-24 also includes several remote diagnostic features, from network connectivity and cable integrity tests to latency measurement tools. For deep client troubleshooting, administrators can even perform per-port remote PCAP packet captures without any additional probes or hardware on site.

Designed for reliability and environmental efficiency
The Meraki MS210-24 was designed for reliable, long-lived operation in wiring closet environments, which may be prone to high temperatures and limited ventilation. By minimising total component count and only using proven switching silicon, Meraki is able to deliver highly reliable products with exceptional mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings. Each Meraki MS210-24 switch also operates with a split-plane architecture, where silicon-based switching and data forwarding are separated from software-based control and management. By decoupling the underlying switching logic from control, each unit is able to deliver wire-speed switching even when advanced software features such as Layer 7 host and OS fingerprinting are enabled. Finally, the highly integrated designs of Meraki switches result in power and cooling savings in large deployment environments of 30-60% when compared with similar managed Gigabit switches.

Distributed branches and remote sites
Meraki’s cloud-based system makes it easy to manage a single switch, or thousands of distributed switches, from a single interface.

• Troubleshoot problems remotely, e.g. find which port has a bad cable attached.
• Add or replace switches without having to send a technician onsite. Switches automatically download their current configuration as soon as they are connected to the network.
• Receive email alerts or SMS messages whenever there’s a problem at a remote site.
