MS120-8FP-HW is a fanless Layer 2 access switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks in a desktop chassis. The MS120-8 family serves compact branch installations connecting wired clients, phones, and wireless access points. Dedicated optical uplinks leave the copper connections available for endpoints. Cisco Meraki MS120-8FP uses a fixed internal AC power supply rather than an external adapter, keeping the power conversion hardware inside the enclosure. The discontinued MS120-8-HW omits endpoint power for installations using separately powered devices. This configuration combines compact placement with powered copper access, rather than providing the expansion architecture of a larger chassis switch.
MS120-8FP-HW price for new stock is $341.25. MS120-8FP-HW refurb price is $206.85. MS120-8FP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity supports Ethernet forwarding across the access and uplink connections. 14.88 Mpps forwarding performance applies to standard packet sizes. MS120-8FP-HW maintains 16000 MAC forwarding entries, while VLAN trunking supports 4094 VLANs for segmented Ethernet networks. STP/RSTP, BPDU guard, Root guard, and Loop guard provide controls for Layer 2 topology protection. Authentication includes 802.1X RADIUS and MAB, and IPv4 ACLs provide traffic filtering. The web-based Meraki Dashboard handles configuration; SNMP and Syslog integrate monitoring with external systems. Remote packet capture, cable testing, and searchable event logs support fault investigation without relying only on link indicators. Automatic firmware upgrades include scheduling control, allowing maintenance timing to be specified centrally. 162W full-load input consumption establishes the electrical load to accommodate when allocating branch power, rather than treating the endpoint-power allowance as the complete equipment draw.
MS120-8FP-HW is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for rated-speed port links, PoE output under load on every powered port, and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM Systems provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Specify the condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When several branch orders must follow one port-configuration policy, Virtual Stacking provides a unified management view across thousands of switch ports without requiring adjacent hardware. Treat that capability as an operational grouping rather than a shared forwarding system, and define the intended management organization before issuing the purchase order.
When an existing application depends on jumbo frames, the 9578-byte Ethernet frame limit becomes an acceptance-test requirement rather than an assumption about Gigabit switching. Include the intended traffic path in staging, confirm that every connected device supports the requested frame size, and record the required test before ordering.
An estate replacing an unsupported MS220-8P-HW has a different purchasing trigger from a new branch rollout: the older switch reached end of support on September 21, 2025. Treat the purchase as an existing-installation continuity decision, and confirm the installed configuration and replacement quantities before finalizing the purchase order.
10G uplinks to distribution
MS120-8FP-HW is limited to 1G SFP uplinks. MS130-8X-HW provides a compact alternative with multigigabit access and 10G SFP+ connectivity, requiring a different hardware configuration.
Routing between local VLANs
MS120-8FP-HW provides Layer 2 switching rather than inter-VLAN routing. DHCP relay does not replace a routed gateway, so VLAN-to-VLAN forwarding requires a separate routing device.
Physical data-stack expansion
MS120-8FP-HW offers Virtual Stacking for management but no physical stacking capability. A unified configuration view does not create a hardware stack or dedicated stacking bandwidth.

MS120-8FP-HW uses MS120 for the family, 8 for eight Gigabit access ports, FP for the 124W PoE+ configuration, and HW for the hardware item. The complete identifier distinguishes this internally powered compact switch from the non-PoE and externally powered versions; Enterprise licensing is a separate purchase.
MS120-8FP-HW is configured through the web-based Meraki Dashboard, with SNMP and Syslog integration for external monitoring systems. Remote diagnostics include packet capture, cable testing, ping, and traceroute. Firmware upgrades can be scheduled, and historical per-port and per-client statistics support ongoing administration across the managed network.
MS120-8FP-HW provides a shared 124W PoE budget across eight powered access ports, with a per-port maximum of 30W. The individual port maximum is not available simultaneously on every connection. Add the requirements of the intended powered devices and keep their combined allocation within the switch's shared budget.
MS120-8FP-HW has two fixed 1G SFP uplink cages rather than a removable uplink-card bay. MA-SFP-1GB-SX is a compatible optical accessory, while MA-SFP-1GB-TX is another supported SFP option. Specify the required connection type and matching cabling separately; installing an SFP does not increase the uplink speed beyond 1G.
No, the MS120-8 family does not support physical switch stacking. Virtual Stacking instead groups ports for centralized management, monitoring, and configuration across separate devices. That management capability does not supply a dedicated stacking connection or combine the switches into a physical data stack with shared stack bandwidth.
MS120-8FP-HW uses separately purchased Enterprise licensing, with LIC-MS120-8FP-1YR providing the minimum one-year term. LIC-MS120-8FP-3YR, LIC-MS120-8FP-5YR, LIC-MS120-8FP-7YR, and LIC-MS120-8FP-10YR provide longer terms. Match the license to this exact hardware model and specify the required duration independently of whether the switch is new sealed or certified refurbished.
No, MS120-8FP-HW is a Layer 2 access switch rather than an inter-VLAN router. DHCP relay is available, but that function does not provide routed forwarding between local VLANs. Specify a separate routed gateway when the deployment requires traffic to move between IP networks instead of remaining within an Ethernet segment.
The MS120-8 family is end of sale, so MS120-8FP-HW belongs to a discontinued hardware generation rather than the current access-switch range. End of sale and end of support are separate milestones. An existing-installation purchase must account for both hardware continuity and the applicable remaining Cisco support entitlement.
MS120-8FP-HW replaces the older powered MS220-8P-HW compact access switch. MS220-8P-HW reached end of sale on September 21, 2018, and end of support on September 21, 2025. The replacement relationship concerns functional migration; the newer MS120-8 family has also subsequently reached end of sale.
MS120-8FP-HW supplies PoE+ to connected endpoints, whereas MS120-8-HW is non-PoE. Both discontinued models provide eight Gigabit access ports and two 1G SFP uplinks. The powered model suits existing installations requiring endpoint power from the switch; the non-PoE model suits connections to devices with separate power sources.
MS120-8FP-HW uses a fixed internal power supply, while MS120-8LP-HW uses the external MA-PWR-90WAC adapter. Both belong to the discontinued compact switch family. The internal-power version suits an existing installation avoiding an external adapter; the external-power version requires space and purchasing checks for MA-PWR-90WAC as part of the hardware configuration.
MS120-8FP-HW is discontinued, whereas MS130-8P-I-HW is the current migration model for the compact internal-power configuration. Existing installations may specify the older unit for hardware continuity. Buyers starting a new deployment should evaluate the successor and its licensing rather than treating the two product generations as interchangeable ordering names.
The MS120-8 compact switch is a desktop model rather than a full-width rack chassis. MS120-8FP-HW measures 44 mm high, 227 mm wide, and 230 mm deep, with a weight of 1.55 kg. Included mounting hardware supports wall or utility-board installation, and included feet support desktop placement.
ORM Systems offers MS120-8FP-HW new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty is separate and ends at the product's end of support.
