Description
The Cisco MS220-24-HW is a 24-port cloud-managed switch designed for simplicity, scalability, and centralized network management. Housed in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis, it offers a sleek, fanless design ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as offices or classrooms. Each of its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports delivers high-speed connectivity, while 4 SFP uplink ports provide flexible options for fiber uplinks or network expansion. Built to integrate seamlessly with Meraki’s cloud platform, this switch allows administrators to monitor and manage network traffic remotely with ease.
Under the hood, the MS220-24-HW supports Layer 2 switching capabilities, including VLAN tagging, link aggregation, and quality of service (QoS) for traffic prioritization. It features a non-blocking switching capacity of up to 48 Gbps, ensuring fast data transfer across all ports. The unit includes built-in support for DHCP snooping, STP enhancements, and multicast filtering, enhancing both performance and security. When purchasing used, buyers should verify the unit’s licensing status, as Meraki cloud features require an active license for full functionality.
