Cisco Meraki MS210-24P-HW - Ethernet switch, Aluminium

The Cisco Meraki MS210-24P-HW 24-Port Gigabit Cloud-Managed PoE+ Switch is a Layer 2 access switch designed for branch networks. It features 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and a total switching capacity of 128 Gbit/s, allowing it to handle sustained traffic from multiple endpoints. Administrators manage the device via the centralized Meraki cloud dashboard rather than a local command-line interface. Integrated PoE+ functionality simplifies installation by transmitting both data and power over standard Ethernet cables.

The aluminium 1U chassis is designed for standard rack mounting. The switch provides a total PoE budget of 370 W, delivering up to 30 W per port to accommodate high-draw hardware such as IP cameras and wireless access points. Up to eight units can be stacked to expand network capacity while maintaining a single management interface. The switch secures access-layer traffic using DHCP snooping, BPDU filtering, and Access Control Lists. The device consumes 448 W under typical load and supports redundant power supplies to maintain network uptime.

• Forwarding performance of 41.67 Mpps for packet processing at the network layer.
• Four dedicated SFP module slots providing 1G fibre uplinks to the core network infrastructure.
• Support for up to 4,094 active VLANs, including a built-in Voice VLAN for telephony traffic segmentation.
• MAC address table storing 16,000 entries to track devices in growing deployments.
• Support for jumbo frames up to 9,578 bytes to increase efficiency during large file transfers.
