Cisco Meraki MS250-24-HW - switch, Grey

The Cisco Meraki MS250-24-HW is a Layer 3 access switch designed for branch and campus networks. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and a total switching capacity of 128 Gbit/s. Operating at Layer 3, the device performs inter-VLAN OSPF and static routing, eliminating the need for an external router. Four SFP/SFP+ slots provide 10G uplinks for backbone connections. This non-PoE model is intended for environments where connected devices have independent power sources.

The 1U chassis supports standard rack mounting and physical stacking to simplify deployment. Administrators manage the network remotely via the Meraki Dashboard, SNMP, or Syslog. Security features include access control lists (ACLs), 802.1X RADIUS authentication, and ARP inspection. Quality of Service (QoS) across 8 hardware queues and IGMP snooping support the delivery of priority and multicast traffic. The unit consumes 14 W of power under typical operating loads.

• Supports up to 4,095 active VLANs for multi-tenant or departmental network segmentation.
• MAC address table capacity of 16,000 entries accommodates large numbers of connected client devices.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9,600 bytes to increase data transfer efficiency.
• Integrated Spanning Tree Protocol and broadcast storm control to prevent switching loops and network outages.
• Built-in DHCP server and client functionality for IP address management.
