FAQs

Q: Does the MS420-48-HW support PoE?
A: No, the MS420-48-HW does not support Power over Ethernet. All 48 ports are 10G SFP+ fiber ports designed for high-speed aggregation and uplink connectivity.

Q: What is required to manage this switch?
A: The MS420-48-HW requires an active Meraki Enterprise license to access the cloud-based Meraki Dashboard for configuration and management. The switch is managed entirely through the web interface with no CLI required.

Q: Does this switch support physical stacking?
A: No, the MS420 series does not support dedicated physical stacking. However, you can interconnect multiple MS420 switches using any of the 48 x 10G SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth aggregation topologies.

Q: What routing protocols does the MS420-48-HW support?
A: The MS420-48-HW supports Layer 3 static routing and dynamic routing using OSPFv2. It also supports warm spare redundancy using VRRP and DHCP relay/server functionality for advanced campus routing scenarios.

Q: Is this switch suitable for data center or campus aggregation?
A: Yes, the MS420-48-HW is designed specifically for aggregation layer deployments in both campus and data center environments, providing 48 x 10G SFP+ ports for high-density fiber connectivity and core switching.
