Description

The Meraki MS425 is a cloud-managed Layer 3 aggregation switch from the Meraki MS400 range, built for the aggregation layer of enterprise and campus networks. It suits 10G fibre connectivity for servers, distribution switches and backbone links, as well as data-centre aggregation roles that need centralised management through the Meraki Dashboard.

This MS425-16 variant provides sixteen 10G SFP+ ports and two 40G QSFP+ uplink and stacking ports, with a dedicated RJ45 management port. Switching capacity is 480 Gbps and the MAC address table holds 128,000 entries. Up to eight switches can be physically stacked over the QSFP+ ports with 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. It is a 1RU rack-mount unit with a hot-swappable 250W AC power supply (MA-PWR-250WAC) and a second slot for an optional redundant supply. There is no PoE. The switch draws about 98 W at idle and 136 W at full load.

The -HW SKU is the hardware only. A Meraki Enterprise licence, such as LIC-MS425-16-xYR, is required to keep the switch operational in the Dashboard and is purchased separately.

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

FAQs

Q: Does the MS425-16-HW need a licence?
A: Yes. It needs a Meraki Enterprise licence, such as LIC-MS425-16-xYR, to stay operational in the Dashboard. The -HW SKU is hardware only, so the licence is purchased separately.

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.

Q: Does this switch provide PoE?
A: No. The MS425-16 is a fibre aggregation switch with no PoE. It runs from a 250W AC power supply (MA-PWR-250WAC) and has a second slot for a redundant supply.

Q: What connects to the SFP+ and QSFP+ ports?
A: The 16 front ports take 10G SFP+ optics and DAC cables. The two 40G QSFP+ ports take QSFP+ modules or DAC cables and can be used for uplinks or for stacking with other MS425 switches.

Q: Can multiple MS425 switches be stacked?
A: Yes. Up to eight switches can be physically stacked over the 40G QSFP+ ports with 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Virtual stacking is also available through the Dashboard.
