Description

The Meraki MS355 is a cloud-managed, stackable Layer 3 access switch built for large wireless deployments such as universities, hospitals and transportation centres. It suits access-layer or aggregation use where multigigabit PoE is needed to power 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) access points.

The MS355-48X2 provides 48 copper ports: 24 x 1GbE RJ45 and 24 x multigigabit RJ45 ports running at 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G with UPoE. The 740W UPoE budget powers high-density access point installations. Uplinks are 2 x 40G QSFP+ plus 4 x 10G SFP+ ports, with 688 Gbps switching capacity, a 512 mpps forwarding rate and 9600-byte jumbo frame support. Two dedicated hardware stack ports deliver 400 Gbps of stacking bandwidth between MS355 units. Layer 3 routing includes OSPF, and the switch has dual hot-swap power supply bays and hot-swap fans.

This is the hardware-only SKU. Cloud management through the Meraki Dashboard requires a separate Meraki Enterprise switch licence, for example LIC-MS355-48-xYR. It accepts MA-PWR-1025WAC 1025W AC power supplies and MA-FAN-18K fan modules, and Cat6a cabling is recommended for reliable multigigabit operation.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: Does the MS355-48X2-HW include a Meraki licence?
A: No. The -HW SKU is hardware only. A Meraki Enterprise switch licence, for example LIC-MS355-48-xYR, must be purchased separately, as the switch needs a valid licence to operate through the Meraki Dashboard.

A: Yes. Every Meraki device XS Network Tech supplies can be claimed on your Meraki dashboard.

Q: How much PoE can it supply?
A: The 24 multigigabit ports support UPoE with a total 740W power budget. Each of the dual hot-swap bays takes an MA-PWR-1025WAC 1025W AC power supply.

Q: Can it be stacked with other switches?
A: Yes. Two dedicated hardware stack ports provide 400 Gbps of stacking bandwidth between MS355 switches.

Q: What uplink options does it have?
A: It has 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplinks and 4 x 10G SFP+ ports.

Q: What cabling suits the multigigabit ports?
A: Cat6a cabling is recommended for reliable operation at multigigabit speeds up to 10G.
