Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-gigabit switch and why do I need one?
A multi-gigabit (mGig) switch like the MS355 provides 10G connectivity to modern devices including Wi-Fi 6 access points, servers, and workstations. Unlike traditional gigabit switches, mGig switches eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks, enabling faster data transfer, reduced latency, and better support for bandwidth-intensive applications in enterprise environments.
How does UPoE benefit my network infrastructure?
Ultra Power over Ethernet (UPoE) delivers up to 90W of power per port, enabling you to power high-performance access points and network devices without separate power cables. This reduces installation costs, simplifies cable management, and improves network reliability by consolidating power and data delivery.
Can I stack multiple MS355 switches together?
Yes, the MS355 series supports physical stacking, allowing you to combine multiple switches into a single logical unit. This simplifies management through a unified dashboard, reduces operational overhead, and scales your network capacity as your organization grows.
What makes cloud-managed switching better than traditional switches?
Cloud-managed switches like the Meraki MS355 offer centralized visibility and control through the Meraki dashboard, automatic firmware updates, simplified troubleshooting, and reduced IT overhead compared to traditional on-premises management models.
