Meraki MS410-32-HW | Meraki MS410 32-Port Gigabit SFP Switch, 4x 10G SFP+

Q: Does the MS410-32-HW require a license to operate?
A: Yes, all Meraki switches require an active cloud license subscription to function. The MS410-32 supports Enterprise and Advanced Security license tiers, which are sold separately from the hardware and provide access to cloud management, firmware updates, and advanced features.

Q: What is the difference between the MS410-32 and MS425-32?
A: The MS410-32 features 32 x 1GbE SFP ports with 4 x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks and 144 Gbps switching capacity, while the MS425-32 offers 32 x 10GbE SFP+ ports with 2 x 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks and 800 Gbps switching capacity. The MS425 is designed for higher-bandwidth aggregation requirements.

Q: Can the MS410-32 be stacked with other Meraki switches?
A: Yes, the MS410-32 includes 2 dedicated 40GbE stacking ports that provide up to 160 Gbps of physical stacking bandwidth. It can be stacked with other MS410 series switches using MA-CBL-40G stacking cables (sold separately). Meraki also supports virtual stacking across all MS switches for centralized management.

Q: What SFP modules are compatible with the MS410-32?
A: The MS410-32 supports industry-standard SFP and SFP+ transceivers without vendor lock-in. Compatible modules include 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX for the 1GbE ports, and 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, and 10GBASE-ER for the SFP+ uplinks. Refer to the Meraki SFP Compatibility Guide for complete optics specifications.

Q: Is redundant power supply supported on the MS410-32-HW?
A: Yes, the MS410-32-HW includes two hot-swappable power supply bays. One MA-PWR-250WAC power supply is included; a second unit can be purchased separately for full power redundancy in mission-critical deployments.
