Description

The Meraki MS420-48 is a cloud-managed Layer 3 aggregation switch from the MS420 range, built for campus and enterprise aggregation or distribution layers. It aggregates access switches over 10GbE and is managed from the Meraki cloud dashboard alongside Meraki wireless and security appliances.

The MS420-48 provides 48 x 10GbE SFP+/SFP ports and one 10/100/1000 RJ45 management port. Its non-blocking fabric delivers 960 Gbps of switching capacity with 1.2 microsecond latency, double the 480 Gbps of the 24-port MS420-24 model. Layer 3 features include static routing, OSPFv2, DHCP server and DHCP helper, with warm spare for gateway redundancy. Link aggregation supports up to 8 ports per bundle.

This hardware SKU requires a Meraki per-device cloud licence to operate and remain managed in the dashboard. It takes Meraki SFP and SFP+ modules such as SFP-1GB-SX, SFP-1GB-LX10, SFP-10GB-SR and SFP-10GB-LR, plus CBL-TA-1M twinax cable. The 1U chassis uses two hot-swappable 400W AC power supplies (PWR-MS420-400AC-R) with front-to-back airflow.
