About This Product
The Meraki MS120-48FP 48-Port Cloud Managed Gigabit PoE+ Switch provides Layer 2 access switching ideal for branch and campus deployments, and features a variety of power options designed to meet the diverse needs of large enterprise networks. The Meraki MS120-48FP 48-Port switch is built from the ground up for cloud management without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. It is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a cryptic command line. To set up this switch, just plug it in; there’s no need for complicated configuration files or even direct physical access to the switch. Meraki’s centralised management gives administrators deep visibility into the network and how it’s used.
Industry-leading cloud management
Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build networks large and small:
- True zero-touch device provisioning.
- Virtual Stacking: manage thousands of ports from a single pane of glass.
- Application-layer visibility with automatic operating system, client, and hostname fingerprinting.
- Powerful live tools such as packet capture and cable test to isolate and troubleshoot network issues.
- Alerts to indicate power loss, downtime, excessive Layer 1 errors, and configurations changes.
- Role-based administration and automatic, scheduled firmware-upgrades over the cloud.
- Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered on-demand from the Meraki cloud.
Converged voice, video and data environments
The Meraki MS120-48FP 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. The MS120-48FP supports eight (8) class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling it to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritisation. This PoE+ switch also provides power for VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. In addition, using CDP and LLDP, PoE power is intelligently budgeted to maximise the number of PoE clients supported.
Application layer visibility
The MS120-48FP 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, Macs, iPads, Androids, and other devices. This unprecedented visibility allows optimising of network resources and maintaining optimal network performance.
Unified software architecture
The MS120-48FP runs on the same 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 MS120-48FP switch automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its 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 scale network deployments.
By providing a complete, powerful set of management functions over the cloud, Meraki cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces which require expensive and time-consuming certifications. The MS120-48FP 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 MS120-48FP 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 MS120-48FP was designed for reliable operation in network 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 MS120-48FP 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 design of the MS120-48FP results 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.
Campus edge
The MS120-48FP is ideal for small and large scale campus deployments, where reliability, scalability, and manageability are top priorities.
- Virtual Stacking lets administrators manage up to thousands of ports in a single interface without having to physically connect stack members.
- 1GbE cable SFP ports with link aggregation provide long range connectivity to aggregation switches.
- Get alerts if any switch fails or goes offline, before users complain.
Key Features
- 48 x 1G ports.
- 4 1G SFP uplinks.
- PoE+ 740W - Up to 30W per port
- Layer 2, 802.1X authentication
