FAQs

Do I need a separate license to run the MS250-48?

Yes. Every Cisco Meraki switch requires an active MS License (Enterprise or Advanced). The hardware and license are ordered separately and co-termed for easy renewal.

What’s the main difference between the MS250-48 and the MS225-48?

The MS250-48 adds full Layer 3 routing (OSPF) and hot-swap power supplies, delivering greater resiliency and routing flexibility while retaining the same port count, uplinks and stacking bandwidth.

Can I stack the MS250-48 with other Meraki switches?

Yes. The MS250 family supports physical stacking of up to eight units at 80 Gbps and can form mixed stacks with compatible models such as the MS225-48 for scalable expansion.
