FAQs
Does the MS130-48X require a license?
Yes. Choose either an Enterprise or Advanced MS License term (1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years). Licensing unlocks cloud management and 24 × 7 support.
Can I mix Enterprise and Advanced licenses in one organisation?
If you use co-term licensing, all MS130 switches must share the same tier. Per-device licensing allows mixing, but certain advanced features need organisation-wide Advanced licensing.
How much PoE power is available per port?
Each PoE-enabled port supports up to 30 W (802.3bt Type 3), perfect for Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones.
Is stacking supported?
Physical backplane stacking is not available, but you can build resilient uplink topologies and manage multiple switches virtually through the Meraki Dashboard.
