The Cisco Meraki MS225-48 switches provide layer 2 access switching and are ideal for deploying to medium campus deployments requiring secure LAN connectivity and basic Layer 3 connectivity. With stacking capabilities and 10G SFP+ uplinks on every model, performance is guaranteed. This family also supports an optional, rack-mountable remote PSU (Cisco RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements.
