About This Product
The Meraki MS250-48 48-Port Cloud Managed stackable Gigabit switch provides reliable access switching that is ideal for deploying in small to large businesses. This Meraki MS250-48 features stacking capabilities and 10G SFP+ uplinks to ensure redundancy and performance are guaranteed and offers support for additional redundant, field-replaceable power supplies for mission critical networks.
Unified Software Architecture
The Meraki MS250-48 48-Port Cloud Managed stackable Gigabit switch 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, the Meraki MS250-48 48-Port Gigabit switch automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, download configuration, and joins 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.
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. Meraki MS switches 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.
Designed for Reliability and Environmental Efficiency
The Meraki switch family 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.
Split-plane architecture
Each Meraki MS250-48 48-Port Cloud Managed stackable Gigabit 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.
