FAQs

Do I need a separate license to operate this switch?

Yes. Every Cisco Meraki switch requires a valid MS License. Licences are available in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10-year terms and include cloud management, feature updates and enterprise-grade support.

How much power can each port deliver?

Each copper interface supports up to 30 W (802.3at PoE+), making it perfect for high-draw devices like Wi-Fi 6E access points or PTZ security cameras. The total shared pool is 370 W.

Can I stack the MS225-48LP with other MS225 models?

Absolutely. Any MS225 variant can be mixed in the same physical stack using the QSFP stacking ports, provided all units run compatible firmware.
