FAQs

Does the MS225-48 support Power over Ethernet?

The standard MS225-48-HW is a non-PoE model. If you need PoE/PoE+, choose the MS225-48LP (370 W) or MS225-48FP (740 W) versions.

How many switches can I stack?

Up to eight MS225 or compatible MS210 units can form one physical stack with 80 Gbps of dedicated stack bandwidth.

What license do I need?

Meraki switches require a matching MS Enterprise Subscription. The MS225-48 falls under the “MS200 Large” SKU tier — simply pair the hardware with the corresponding term (1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years) for cloud management and support.

Is the switch noisy?

No. The MS225-48 is completely fanless, making it suitable for deskside racks, classrooms or quiet retail counters.

Licensing and Support

Each MS225-48 includes a limited lifetime hardware warranty with next-day advance replacement and is activated by an MS Enterprise license that bundles firmware updates, 24 × 7 phone support and cloud management.
