FAQs

Q: Does the MS420-24-HW support physical stacking?
A: No, the MS420-24-HW does not support dedicated physical stacking capabilities. However, it supports virtual stacking through the Meraki Dashboard, allowing you to manage thousands of ports across multiple switches as a single logical unit. Switches can be interconnected using standard SFP+ connections.

Q: What licensing is required for the MS420-24-HW?
A: The MS420-24-HW requires a Meraki Enterprise license for operation. The Enterprise license enables advanced features including Layer 3 routing, DHCP services, OSPF, warm spare failover, and full access to the cloud-based Meraki Dashboard management platform.

Q: Can the MS420-24-HW be used for server aggregation?
A: Yes, the MS420-24-HW is ideal for server aggregation in data centers and campus core environments. With 24x 10GbE SFP+ ports, it provides high-bandwidth connectivity for fiber-based deployments, distribution switches, and backbone links requiring 10G performance.

Q: What optics are compatible with the MS420-24-HW?
A: The MS420-24-HW supports industry-standard SFP+ optics with no vendor lock-in. Compatible modules include 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-LRM, and other 10G SFP+ transceivers. Meraki switches are modular and support hot-swappable field replacements with third-party optics.

Q: Is the MS420-24-HW still available for purchase?
A: The MS420-24-HW reached End-of-Sale in October 2016 and End-of-Support in October 2023. The recommended replacement is the MS425-16-HW, which offers 16x 10GbE SFP+ ports plus 2x 40GbE QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports. Existing MS420-24 customers can still renew Enterprise licenses.
