Meraki MS425-16

Meraki MS425-16 – 40G fiber aggregation switch

Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build campus networks:

• Automatic email alerts from power loss, downtime, excessive Layer 1 errors, or configuration changes
• Powerful remote diagnostic tools such as packet capture to help isolate and troubleshoot network issues
• Firmware upgrades and enhancements from the Meraki cloud
• Virtual Stacking enables switch port configuration changes on the dashboard interface without the need to physically stack switches
• Incredible network transparency with application, operating sys-tem, client, and hostname visibility
• Zero-touch provisioning for rapid deployment across sites

Product Highlights

• Use any port to physically stack switches (flexible stacking)

• Aggregation switches to connect multiple access layer devices for a more versatile network

• Available models with 16 or 32 x 10G SFP+ ports to support small- and medium-size enterprises

• 40G uplink interfaces on all models

• Support for field replaceable, redundant power supplies

• Up to 800 G of switching capacity

• 6 configurable QoS queues for converged voice, video, and data applications

• Integrated mounting brackets for rack mounting

• Lifetime hardware warranty and advanced replacement at no additional cost

Meraki switches feature high-end hardware features, including:

• Flexible stacking; use any port of physically stack devices
• Compact, 1RU design for space-constrained environments
• Terabit performance with non-blocking architecture
• Field-replaceable, hot-swappable power supplies/fans
• Front-to-back cooling
• Dedicated management port
• Low power consumption and shallow rack depth, which enable flexible deployment
• Stacking option for building redundant architectures

Enterprise-Ready Features:

Meraki switches include all of the traditional Ethernet features foundin the enterprise:

• IEEE 802.1X, MAB, and Hybrid authentication support for wired access control with RADIUS server monitoring
• ACL support (IPv4 & IPv6) and MAC whitelisting
• Single-Host/Multi-Domain/Multi-Host/Multi Authentication
• Change of Authorization (CoA) and RADIUS accounting support
• DHCP snooping to protect against rogue DHCP servers on the network
• Dynamic ARP Inspection to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
• Rapid Spanning Tree, BPDU guard, root guard, loop guard, and other safeguards to help prevent misconfigurations and reduce convergence time
• Per port VLAN configuration, Voice VLAN support for simplified VoIP deployments
• Port Mirroring to monitor network traffic
• IGMP Snooping to optimize network performance for multicast applications
• Multiple administrative roles with sophisticated security policy management
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for high-capacity trunk-ing, with Multichassis (MLAG) support on stacked switches
• Quality-of-Service (QoS) to prioritize mission-critical traffic such as voice and video
• CDP, LLDP advertisement and snooping, with detailed neighbor visibility and discovery
