Datasheet MS Switch SeriesMS Cloud Managed Access SwitchesOverviewThe Cisco Meraki MS brings the benefits of the cloud to networks of all sizes: simplified management, reduced complexity, network widevisibility and control, with lower operational cost for campus and branch deployments. Cisco Meraki access switching is available in bothLayer 2 and powerful Layer 3 models. Mission-critical features — like deep, Layer 7 application visibility, network topology, virtual stacking,QoS for business critical applications, 802.1X access control, and more — are present in all models.The MS350 is the flagship Meraki layer 3 stackable access switch, with high-speed connectivity including multigigabit, high availability, PoE and UPoE, optional redundant power supplies and fans. MS350 switches physically stack up to 8 units, with 160Gbps of stack bandwidth.The MS220 family provides layer 2 access switching and is ideal for deploying to branch locations. This family also supports an optional,rack-mountable remote PSU 11 Except MS220-8/P models.A FRESH APPROACHINDUSTRY-LEADING CLOUD MANAGEMENTMeraki switches are built from the ground up to beeasy to manage without compromising any of thepower and flexibility traditionally found in enterpriseclass switches.Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to buildnetworks large and small:Cisco Meraki switches are managed through anelegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a crypticcommand line. To bring up a Meraki switch, just plug itin; there’s no need for complicated configuration files,or even direct physical access to the switch.Meraki’s centralized management gives administratorsdeep visibility into the network and how it’s used. Seewhich switches are near capacity across hundreds ofsites. Find all configuration changes made by a certainperson with instant search. Single pane of glass management of distributed switch deployments,wireless APs, and firewalls across multiple sites through the browser. Virtual stacking: manage up to thousands of ports from a single pane ofglass. Layer 7 visibility with operating system, client, and hostname fingerprinting. Powerful Live Tools such as packet capture and cable test to isolatenetwork issues. Alerts upon power loss, downtime, or configuration changes. Role-based administration and automatic, scheduled firmware upgradesover the web. Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered on demand from theMeraki cloud. True zero-touch provisioning

Meraki Cloud Management ArchitectureCombined Views of Thousands of PortsScheduled Firmware UpdatesAutomatic E-mail AlertsSimplified Management andOperationsLAYER 7 VISIBILITYMeraki’s cloud managed architecture makes it simpler than ever toquickly provision and reconfigure switch ports with security, QoS,and other parameters. The Meraki dashboard provides unifiedpolicies, event logs, and monitoring, which make it easy to manageand grow large network deployments.Meraki is the only switch to include integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting.Identify hundreds of applications from business apps to BitTorrentand YouTube. User fingerprinting with Google-like search allowsadministrators to easily identify and control individual users, PCs,iMacs, iPads, Androids, and other devices. This unprecedentedvisibility allows optimizing of network resources and maintainingoptimal network performance.By providing a complete, powerful set of management functions overthe web, Meraki’s cloud-based management eliminates the needfor proprietary command line configuration interfaces which requireexpensive and time consuming certifications. Meraki MS switchescan be fully deployed and provisioned in minutes, without requiringany local configuration or staging. Additional or replacementswitches can be sent to remote offices and installed by non-technicalstaff, saving thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses.The Meraki MS family also includes several remote diagnosticfeatures, from network connectivity and cable integrity tests tolatency measurement tools. For deep client troubleshooting,administrators can even perform per-port remote pcap packetcaptures without any additional probes or hardware on site.3Cisco Systems, Inc. 500 Terry A.

Integrated Remote, Live ToolsDetailed Views of Individual DevicesNETWORK TOPOLOGYTo ease deployment, Meraki switches support the industry-standardLink Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Cisco Discovery Protocol(CDP), enabling switches to automatically discover Ethernet-enableddevices, determine their power requirements and join the correctvirtual LAN (VLAN).Cisco Meraki switches include integrated network topology, whichautomatically maps the whole network, shows direct and redundantlinks across wired and wireless infrastructure, and is essential fortroubleshooting network issues that would otherwise require manualmapping, overlay monitoring software, or keeping track of MACaddress tables.MERAKI’S UNIFIED SOFTWARE ARCHITECTUREMeraki switches run the same Meraki operating system used byMeraki’s firewalls and wireless LAN products. The use of a commonoperating system allows Meraki to deliver a consistent experienceacross all product lines.LAYER 3Cisco Meraki MS320/350 series switches augment securityand performance with built-in layer 3 features. Large networkdeployments can use warm spare redundancy, or OSPF to managerouting between VLANs through Meraki’s intuitive, web-baseddashboard.Detail of a typical network topology viewCONVERGED VOICE, VIDEO AND DATA ENVIRONMENTSThe Meraki switch family is designed to unify data, voice, and videoonto a single IP backbone. All Meraki switches support rich qualityof-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and videotraffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues onevery port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization.PoE models provide power VoIP telephones, IP security cameras,wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. The Meraki MSswitches also support standards-based 25.5 watt (30 watt max perport) IEEE 802.3at for powering networked devices like multipleradio IEEE 802.11n APs, video phones and VDI terminals that mayrequire more power than available with IEEE 802.3af. In addition,using CDP and LLDP, PoE power is intelligently budgeted tomaximize the number of PoE clients supported. For the most powerhungry applications, support for Cisco UPoE is also available.4Specifying Layer 3 Subnets and RoutesCisco Systems, Inc. 500 Terry A.

Designed for Reliability & Environmental EfficiencyThe Meraki switch family was designed for reliable, long-livedoperation in wiring closet environments, which may be prone to hightemperatures and limited ventilation. By minimizing total componentcount and only using proven switching silicon, Meraki is able todeliver mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings of over 750,000hours on products such as the Meraki MS220-8.underlying switching logic from control, each unit is able to deliverwire-speed switching even when advanced software features suchas Layer 7 host and OS fingerprinting are enabled.Finally, the highly integrated designs of Meraki switches result inpower and cooling savings in large deployment environments of 3060% when compared with similar managed Gigabit switches.Each Meraki switch also operates with a split-plane architecture,where silicon-based switching and data forwarding are separatedfrom software-based control and management. By decoupling theDISTRIBUTED BRANCES & REMOTE SITESMeraki’s cloud-based system makes it easy to manage a singleswitch, or thousands of distributed switches, from a single interface. Troubleshoot problems remotely, e.g., find which port has a badcable attached. Add or replace switches without having to send a technicianonsite. Switches automatically download their current configurationas soon as they are connected to the network. Receive email alerts or SMS messages whenever there’s aproblem at a remote site.Small Branch5CAMPUS EDGEMS switches are ideal for small and large scale campus deployments,where reliability, scalability, and managability are top priorities. Virtual Stacking lets administators manage up to thousands ofports in a single interface without having to physically connectstack members. 10GbE cable SFP ports with link aggregation provide high speedconnectivity to aggregation switches such as the MS425. Get alerts when any switch fails or goes offline, before userscomplain.Large CampusCisco Systems, Inc. 500 Terry A. Francois Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94158 (415) 432-1000 sales@meraki.com
