About This Product
The Meraki MS225-48LP 48-Port Cloud Managed Stackable Gigabit PoE+ Switch provides layer 2 access switching and is ideal for deploying to branch locations and with 10G SFP+ uplinks, performance is guaranteed. The Meraki MS225-48LP Stackable Gigabit PoE+ Switch is built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. The Meraki MS225-48LP Stackable Gigabit PoE+ Switch is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a cryptic command line. To bring up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there’s no need for complicated configuration files, or even direct physical access to the switch.
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 MS225-48LP Stackable Gigabit Switch 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.
Converged voice, video and data environments
The Meraki MS225-48LP Stackable Gigabit Switch is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. All Meraki switches support rich qualityof-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritisation.
Application layer visibility
Meraki is the only switch to include 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 optimizing of network resources and maintaining optimal network performance.
Unified Software Architecture
Meraki switches run 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, MS250 switches automatically connect to the Meraki cloud, download configuration, and join the appropriate network. If new firmware is required, this is retireved by the switch and updated automatically. This ensures the network is kept up-todate with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.
Designed for reliability and environmental efficiency
The Meraki MS225-48LP Stackable Gigabit Switch 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 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.
Vast features
The Meraki MS225-48LP Stackable Gigabit Switch includes all of the traditional Ethernet features found in modern enterprise access switches, including:
Branch and campus access
- Physical stacking with support for up to 8 stack members for built-in redundancy and performance.
- Quality-of-Service (QoS) to prioritize mission critical traffic such as voice and video.
- Voice VLAN support for simplified VoIP deployments.
- CDP, LLDP advertisement and snooping, with detailed neighbor discovery and visibility.
- Port Mirroring (SPAN) support for monitoring network traffic at line rate.
- IGMP Snooping to optimize network performance for multicast applications.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for high-capacity trunking, with Multichassis (MLAG) support on stacked switches.
Network Security
- IEEE 802.1X, MAB, and Hybrid authentication support for wired access control with RADIUS server monitoring.
- Port security and MAC whitelisting.
- Change of Authorization (CoA) and RADIUS accounting support.
- DHCP snooping to prevent users from adding unauthorised DHCP servers on the network.
- Rapid spanning tree, BPDU guard, root guard, and other safeguards to help prevent misconfigurations and reduce convergence time.
- Multiple administrative roles with sophisticated security policy management.
