Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the cloud managed switch simplify network administration?
A: The Meraki Dashboard provides centralized management for all your ethernet switches, enabling remote configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting from any location with internet access.
Q: What makes this different from traditional server rack network switches?
A: Unlike conventional switches, this cloud managed switch eliminates the need for on-site CLI configuration and provides automatic firmware updates, security patches, and policy enforcement through the cloud.
Q: Can I stack multiple MS225 switches for increased port density?
A: Yes, you can stack up to 8 units using the 10G SFP+ ports, creating a single logical cisco 10GbE switch with up to 192 PoE+ ports — perfect for growing branch deployments.
Q: Does this switch support fiber optic uplinks for long-distance connectivity?
A: Absolutely. The 10G SFP+ ports support both copper and fiber ethernet switches modules, enabling connections up to 10km with appropriate SFP+ transceivers for campus backbone links.
Q: What PoE devices can this switch power?
A: With 370W total power budget, this PoE switch can simultaneously power IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE+ devices requiring up to 30W per port.
