MS250 SERIES - Cisco Meraki

1 Datasheet | MS250 SERIES Switches MS250 SERIES . Stackable access switches with 10G SFP+ uplinks, designed for the branch and campus CLOUD MANAGED STACKABLE ACCESS SWITCHES INDUSTRY LEADING CLOUD MANAGEMENT. The Cisco Meraki MS250 SERIES provides 10G SFP+ uplinks Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier for medium-size enterprises and campus networks. The switch to build networks large and small: includes optional PoE/PoE+ support, Layer 3 routing, and modular power for mission-critical networks. Automatic email alerts from power loss, downtime, excessive Layer 1 errors, or configuration changes Our switches are built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally Powerful remote diagnostic tools such as packet capture to found in enterprise-class switches.

2 Help isolate and troubleshoot network issues Role-based administration All Meraki switches are managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud-based interface, rather than cryptic command line. Firmware upgrades and enhancements from the Meraki cloud To bring up a Meraki switch, simply plug it in. Meraki switches do Virtual Stacking enables switch port configuration changes on not require CLI for switch configuration or port management. the dashboard interface without the need to physically stack switches Meraki 's centralized management gives administrators granular Incredible network transparency with application, operating visibility into their network.

3 Our dashboard helps you keep track system, client, and hostname visibility of every configuration change in your network with our detailed event and change logs. Zero-touch provisioning for rapid deployment across sites Product Highlights Gigabit access switching with 24- and 48- port models Up to 740 watt PoE budget with PoE+ support and and optional PoE+ support dynamic power allocation for powering APs, phones, cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink interfaces on all models Low power consumption, quiet acoustic design, and Dual stacking interfaces with up to 80 Gbps of bandwidth shallow rack depth options.

4 Enabling flexible deployment in wiring closets as well as offices and classrooms Support for field replaceable, redundant power supplies Integrated mounting brackets for rack mounting Non-blocking switch backplane with up to 176 Gbps of switching capacity Lifetime hardware warranty and advanced replacement at no additional cost 6 configurable QoS queues for converged voice, video , and data applications Features and Capabilities Meraki switches include every feature you need to configure your network with the ease of cloud-management, including;. Access Switching Converged Voice, video and Data Environments High-bandwidth physical stacking with support for up to 8 stack The Meraki switch family is designed to unify data, voice, and video members for built-in redundancy and performance onto a single IP backbone.

5 All Meraki switches support rich quality- of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for high-capacity traffic . The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on trunking, with Multichassis (MLAG) support on stacked switches every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization. Static and dynamic routing support with DHCP relay and server capabilities PoE models provide power to VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices.

6 Using CDP and Quality-of-Service (QoS) to prioritize mission critical traffic such LLDP, PoE power is intelligently budgeted to maximize the number as voice and video of PoE clients supported. Voice VLAN support for simplified VoIP deployments CDP, LLDP advertisement and snooping, with detailed neighbor Application Layer Visibility visibility and discovery Meraki switches include integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting without the Port Mirroring to monitor network traffic need to purchase additional modules or services. Identify hundreds IGMP Snooping to optimize network performance for multicast of applications from business apps to BitTorrent and YouTube.

7 Applications User fingerprinting allows administrators to quickly identify individual users by device and tune network resources for optimum Network Security performance. IEEE , MAB, and Hybrid authentication support for wired access control with RADIUS server monitoring ACL support (IPv4 & IPv6) and MAC whitelisting Unified Software Architecture Single-Host/Multi-Domain/Multi-Host/Mult i Authentication Meraki switches run the same operating system used by all of our Change of Authorization (CoA) and RADIUS accounting support products. The use of a common operating system allows us to DHCP snooping to protect against rogue DHCP servers on the deliver a consistent experience across all product lines, from our network security appliances to cameras.

8 Dynamic ARP Inspection to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks When connected, new MS250 switches automatically reach out Rapid Spanning Tree, BPDU guard, root guard, loop guard, and other safeguards to help prevent misconfigurations and reduce to the Meraki cloud and download the most current network convergence time configuration. Future updates can be user-scheduled. This ensures Per port VLAN configuration the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features. Multiple administrative roles with sophisticated security policy management Virtual Stacking with Meraki Network Troubleshooting & Automation Virtual Stacking helps IT admins make configuration changes to hundreds of switch ports in seconds with our intuitive dashboard interface Configuration templates for rapid, zero-touch provisioning and auditing of all sites Network Topology for automatic and interactive network mapping Remote cable testing.

9 Packet capture and client discovery Automatic and scheduled firmware upgrades for the complete network 2 Cisco Systems, Inc. | 500 Terry A. Francois Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94158 | (415) 432-1000 | Simplified Management and Operations Meraki 's cloud-managed architecture makes it simpler than ever to Scheduled & automatic firmware updates quickly provision and configure switch ports with security, QoS, and other parameters. The Meraki dashboard provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, which make it easy to manage and grow large network deployments.

10 By providing a complete, robust set of management functions over the web, Meraki 's cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces which require expensive and time-consuming certifications. Redundant power supply monitoring & alerts Meraki MS switches can be fully deployed and provisioned in minutes without local configuration or staging. New switches can be sent to remote offices and installed by non-technical staff, saving thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses. The Meraki MS family includes several remote diagnostic features.
