MS250-48LP Meraki Switch
The Meraki MS250-48LP brings an excellent blend of power, performance, and flexibility while maintaining a competitive price. This Meraki switch can thrive in many different deployment environments, while significantly reducing the amount of time an administrator has to take servicing it.
The Meraki MS250-48LP features forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, along with four 10G SFP+ ports for upstream bandwidth. All downstream ports support 802.3 PoE power, from a pool of 370W. This gives it superior flexibility in an environment with a mix of WiFi access points, IP appliances, and user-level devices. LLDP compatibility ensures highly-optimized power distribution.
The MS250-48LP can handle static Layer 2 switching, as well as both static and dynamic Layer 3 routing. Additional DHCP server and relay functions add to its functionality, making it a superior all-around device with a lot of repurposing potential throughout its lifespan. For added uptime guarantees, it also supports DHCP failover policies as well as dual redundant user-replaceable power supplies.
Moreover, Meraki requires far less administrative oversight than competing brands. Their proprietary mesh-networking system is largely self-configuring and self-optimizing, while adding new devices is a plug-and-play process. The MS250-48LP allows for local stacking of MS250 units, up to 80G, in a purely plug-and-play deployment process.
All configuration and oversight is handled via the Meraki Dashboard GUI, which requires no specific prior networking expertise. A series of intuitive windows and menus allows oversight of the network at any level, regardless of size. A large-scale deployment with thousands of ports is only slightly more difficult to manage than a much smaller-scale network. The Meraki devices themselves handle most of the hard work.
