Description

The Meraki MS420-24 is a cloud-managed Layer 3 aggregation switch from the Meraki MS400 range. It is built for campus and data-centre aggregation or core layers, where 10GbE uplinks from multiple access switches need to be consolidated in a single 1RU chassis and managed centrally from the Meraki dashboard.

The switch provides 24 x 10GbE SFP+/SFP ports and a dedicated 10/100/1000 RJ45 management port, with 480 Gbps of switching capacity on a non-blocking fabric and 1.2 microsecond latency. The MAC table holds 128K entries and 802.1Q tagging supports up to 4095 VLANs. Layer 3 features include static routing, OSPFv2, DHCP server and helper, and warm spare gateway redundancy. Idle power draw is 45 W and full load is 175 W. This is the hardware-only SKU, so cloud management requires a separate Meraki MS420-24 Enterprise licence (LIC-MS420-24-xYR).

It works with SFP/SFP+ optics and 10GbE twinax cables, and stacks virtually through the Meraki dashboard rather than dedicated stacking ports. It pairs naturally with Meraki wireless and security appliances for a fully cloud-managed network.

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

FAQs

Q: Does the MS420-24-HW include a Meraki licence?
A: No. The -HW SKU is hardware only. Dashboard management requires a Meraki MS420-24 Enterprise licence (LIC-MS420-24-xYR), and the switch cannot be managed from the cloud without a valid licence.

Q: What power supply does the MS420-24 use?
A: It uses a field-replaceable, hot-swappable 400 W AC supply, part number PWR-MS420-400AC-R, on 100-240 VAC input. The switch does not provide PoE.

Q: Does it have dedicated stacking ports?
A: No. The MS420 uses virtual stacking through the Meraki dashboard, which lets you manage multiple switches as one from the cloud.

Q: What optics and cables can I use in the SFP+ ports?
A: The 24 ports accept SFP and SFP+ optics and 10GbE twinax cables, including the Meraki-branded modules listed in the Meraki SFP datasheet.

Q: Can I claim it on my Meraki dashboard?
A: Yes. Every Meraki device XS Network Tech supplies can be claimed on your Meraki dashboard.
