Product identity

The Cisco Meraki MS250-48 is a managed, rack-mountable switch that delivers forty-eight 10/100/1000Base-T ports and thirty-two 10GBase-X expansion slots in a 1U form factor. It runs Meraki cloud-managed firmware and includes a power supply, power cord and mounting hardware in the box.

Who this suits and who it does not

Organisations that want centralised cloud visibility, zero-touch provisioning and automatic firmware updates across distributed sites will fit this platform. Buyers who require on-premises-only command-line management, PoE power budgets beyond what the unit supplies, or a higher density of 10 GbE copper ports should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The primary port speed of 10/100/1000Base-T combined with thirty-two 10GBase-X expansion slots determines whether the uplink capacity and access-port count match the network design.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 48-port MS250-48 or a model with fewer ports?

Choose the 48-port MS250-48 when you need to connect up to 48 devices directly; a smaller model only makes sense if you will never use more than its port count.

What does the 10GBase-X uplink speed mean for daily traffic?

The 10GBase-X uplinks carry aggregated traffic from the 48 gigabit ports at up to 10 gigabits per second, preventing bottlenecks when many devices send data simultaneously.

Which SFP+ modules work with the 10GBase-X uplink slots?

Any SFP+ transceiver that complies with the 10GBase-X standard will operate in the uplink slots; the switch does not restrict vendor choice.
