FAQs

Does the MS250-48LP need an MS License?

All Cisco Meraki switches require an enterprise licence. Simply choose 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10-year terms to match your budgeting cycle.

How is it different from the MS225-48LP?

The MS250 offers full Layer-3 routing, hot-swappable power supplies and a richer feature-set, while the MS225 is a Layer-2 access switch with optional external redundancy.

Is 370 W of PoE enough for my network?

370 W comfortably powers up to 24 Wi-Fi 6 APs at 15 W each, or a mix of access points, IP cameras and phones. For higher budgets, consider the MS250-48FP (740 W).

Can I stack the switch with other Meraki models?

Yes – any MS250 can physically stack with other MS250 models. Cross-stack LACP and multi-switch mirroring are supported.
