MS125-48FP-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 2 access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. Its 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Meraki MS125 series and serves branch and office networks requiring powered copper connections and faster upstream links. The uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through an optional network card. The discontinued MS125-48LP-HW provides a smaller 370W PoE budget at the same access-port density. This configuration keeps the upstream interfaces separate from the endpoint connections, leaving the copper ports available for access devices.
MS125-48FP-HW price for new stock is $2,035.94. MS125-48FP-HW refurb price is $624.75. MS125-48FP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity supports traffic across the access and uplink interfaces, while 130 Mpps forwarding rate defines packet-processing throughput. 740W of shared PoE power requires aggregate endpoint sizing rather than maximum power allocation on every port simultaneously. 845W full-load consumption provides the loaded rack-power planning figure; 52W idle consumption represents a different operating state. MS125-48FP-HW maintains 32000 MAC forwarding entries for learned Ethernet destinations. STP and RSTP provide loop control, while IGMP snooping filters multicast delivery. The Cisco Meraki access switch supports 4094 VLANs for segmentation and 9578-byte jumbo Ethernet frames. DHCP snooping, detection and blocking provide access-security controls, and IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs filter traffic. Port mirroring supplies traffic copies for troubleshooting. A fixed internal AC supply accepts 100–240V input without an internal redundant-supply option, so a purchase requiring redundant power needs a different hardware design.
Order MS125-48FP-HW in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and specify the required quantity and included components on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. ORM 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. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, government Net-30 terms and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA.

Lifecycle Status | End of sale March 28, 2025 |
When replacing a discontinued MS42P-HW, retain a migration checklist rather than assuming the old configuration transfers unchanged. MS125-48FP-HW is a named replacement for that model, whose end-of-sale date was April 26, 2014. Confirm the required access policies and connection media before specifying replacement hardware.
When standardizing administration across branch locations, separate monitoring integration from access permissions. Meraki dashboard provides role-based access control and multi-factor authentication, while SNMP and SYSLOG connect to other management tools. Establish administrator roles, notification recipients and monitoring integrations before defining the switch quantities on the purchase order.
When staging an access-switch deployment that uses aggregated Ethernet connections, test the intended peer configuration before shipment. The MS125 series supports link aggregation with eight ports per aggregate. Confirm peer settings, available interfaces and the required connection media during staging, then specify the complete connection set on the purchase order.
Physical stacking between access switches
MS125-48FP-HW offers virtual stacking for management, not a physical stacking backplane. A requirement for dedicated inter-switch stacking needs a different switch family.
Layer 3 routing at access
MS125-48FP-HW is a Layer 2 switch rather than an inter-VLAN router. Routed access requires a separate routing device or a switch with Layer 3 capability.
Manufacturer support beyond March 2030
Cisco support for MS125-48FP-HW ends March 28, 2030. A project requiring manufacturer support after that date needs hardware with a later support horizon.

MS125-48FP-HW identifies the MS125 series, 48 Gigabit access ports and the FP configuration with a 740W PoE budget. The HW ending identifies the hardware ordering form rather than an included Enterprise license. The complete configuration also includes four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and a fixed internal power supply.
MS125-48FP-HW is configured and monitored through the web-based Meraki dashboard rather than a proprietary command-line configuration workflow. SNMP and SYSLOG provide integration with other network management tools. Dashboard functions include port configuration, historical usage information, event logs, remote diagnostics and scheduled automatic firmware upgrades.
MS125-48FP-HW reached end of sale on March 28, 2025, and reaches end of support on March 28, 2030. The MS125 series is discontinued. Evaluate remaining hardware against that support deadline when planning an existing-estate replacement, since hardware condition does not extend the manufacturer lifecycle.
MS125-48FP-HW requires a separate Enterprise license, with LIC-MS125-48FP-1Y providing the minimum one-year term. Enterprise terms also include three, five, seven and ten years. The hardware PID does not include a perpetual network license; select licensing separately and keep the March 28, 2030 support cutoff in view.
740W is the shared PoE budget across the 48 PoE+ access ports on MS125-48FP-HW. Connected-device demand must remain within that aggregate allocation; PoE+ support does not guarantee maximum allocation on every port simultaneously. Size the endpoint power list before finalizing how many switches the purchase requires.
MS125-48FP-HW has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, separate from its copper access ports. These interfaces do not require a removable uplink card. Specify compatible transceivers for the intended connection media and distance, and verify both link ends before adding the optics to the hardware order.
No, the MS125 series does not form a physical hardware stack. Meraki Virtual Stacking combines port management, monitoring and configuration across switches rather than adding a dedicated stacking backplane. Treat the units as individual switches when planning inter-switch connections; virtual grouping does not provide hardware stacking bandwidth.
No, MS125-48FP-HW provides Layer 2 switching rather than Layer 3 routing between VLANs. Its Ethernet functions include VLAN trunking, STP, RSTP and IGMP snooping. Place inter-VLAN routing on a separate routing device, and establish the default-gateway location before finalizing the access-switch configuration and purchase list.
MS125-48FP-HW uses a fixed internal AC power supply accepting 100–240V AC, without an internal redundant-supply option. Full-load consumption is 845W, compared with 52W at idle. Size the rack power allocation for the loaded operating case rather than treating idle consumption as the deployment maximum.
MS125-48FP-HW is a named replacement for discontinued MS42P-HW, which reached end of sale on April 26, 2014, and end of support on April 26, 2021. The MS125 series is also discontinued, so this historical replacement relationship does not make it a current-generation purchase.
MS125-48FP-HW provides a 740W PoE budget, while MS125-48LP-HW provides 370W. Both are discontinued MS125 models. The FP configuration suits an existing installation with higher aggregate endpoint power demand; the LP configuration suits a lower powered load that fits within its smaller shared budget.
MS125-48FP-HW has 48 Gigabit access ports, whereas MS125-24P-HW has 24 Gigabit access ports. Both belong to the discontinued MS125 series. The 48-port configuration suits a larger endpoint count within an existing installation; the 24-port configuration suits a purchase requiring fewer copper access connections.
ORM offers MS125-48FP-HW new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime hardware warranty ends with support on March 28, 2030; manufacturer warranty eligibility remains separate from ORM coverage.
