Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP Switch, 48xGigE PoE/370W PoE/L2 Stackable Overview
Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP Switch, 48xGigE PoE/370W PoE/L2 Stackable is a genuine network infrastructure product from Cisco, a leading enterprise networking vendor whose Catalyst, Nexus and ISR families power campus, data-center and branch networks worldwide. Belonging to the Cisco family, the MS225-48LP unit is built to the original factory specification, so it integrates with existing Cisco deployments predictably and behaves exactly as the platform documentation describes. In the network, it is deployed as a standalone unit or as part of a larger managed network, following the standard operating procedures of the platform.
From a specification standpoint, aggregate capacity of 176 Gbps; 370 W PoE budget. These are the original factory figures for this model, giving administrators a clear picture of what the unit can deliver before it enters service. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, so deployment follows the same procedures as other Cisco hardware already running in the environment.
Typical deployments include general network infrastructure support, general network infrastructure support, and general network infrastructure support. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP Switch,48 x 10/100/1000 (PoE+) + 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ (uplink) PoE+ (370 W)”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.
