MS220-48FP-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 2 access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks in a rack-mount 1U chassis. The Meraki MS220 family serves branch access networks connecting phones, cameras, wireless access points, and other Ethernet endpoints. Its copper connections handle endpoint attachment, while separate fiber uplinks connect the access switch upstream without occupying those endpoint ports. The discontinued MS220-48LP-HW has a smaller 370W endpoint-power budget. Within the Meraki MS switching family, this configuration combines high copper-port density with browser-based administration rather than traditional command-line configuration. The hardware suits an existing cloud-managed access design where matching the installed configuration matters, provided the buyer accepts that Cisco support has ended.
MS220-48FP-HW price for new stock is $437.85, a 53.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $942.02. MS220-48FP-HW refurb price is $164.85. MS220-48FP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

104 Gbps switching capacity provides a nonblocking fabric for the built-in interfaces. 740W of shared PoE power must be allocated across attached devices rather than treated as a simultaneous maximum allowance for every powered port. 903W full-load consumption establishes the electrical provisioning requirement; endpoint allocation and chassis consumption are separate considerations. MS220-48FP-HW maintains 16000 MAC entries for learned device addresses. STP/RSTP handles loop prevention, while LACP supports aggregates containing eight ports for linked interfaces requiring grouped bandwidth. Inter-VLAN routing remains an upstream function rather than an onboard capability. The Meraki operating system separates hardware forwarding from software-based control and management. IPv4 ACLs provide traffic filtering, and IGMP snooping controls multicast forwarding. A 100-240V AC input accommodates the supported supply range, while the 0°C to 40°C operating envelope sets the environmental boundary for the installation. These limits should be checked against the planned electrical circuit and equipment-room conditions.

When geographically separated offices need a common port-administration workflow, virtual stacking groups thousands of switch ports without requiring physical stack connections. Administrators can apply configurations across the grouped ports through centralized management. Specify the intended administrative grouping and access responsibilities before the purchase order rather than ordering dedicated stacking hardware.
When phones, cameras, and access points are being combined on one purchase order, the 30W per-port PoE+ ceiling determines whether each endpoint can attach directly. Individual port capability does not mean every endpoint can request its maximum simultaneously. Record each device's requested power and size the aggregate allocation before the PO.
When a replacement switch must reproduce an existing jumbo-frame configuration, support for 9600-byte Ethernet frames gives the staging team a specific compatibility boundary to test. Larger frames require consistent settings across the connected path. Specify the intended frame size and include upstream-interface validation in the acceptance checklist before ordering.
10G fiber uplinks
MS220-48FP-HW limits fixed uplinks to 1G SFP. MS130-48X-HW offers fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also introduces multigigabit downlinks into the configuration.
Physical hardware stack membership
MS220-48FP-HW supports virtual stacking for centralized administration, not a physical hardware stack. A deployment requiring dedicated stacking connections needs different switch hardware.
Cisco support for new deployments
MS220-48FP-HW passed its July 29, 2024 end-of-support date. MS130-48P-HW is a current alternative; the interim MS120-48FP-HW replacement is also discontinued.

MS220-48FP-HW identifies the Meraki MS220 Layer 2 family, 48 Gigabit copper ports, and the FP configuration with a 740W PoE budget. The -HW ending identifies the hardware ordering form rather than a cloud license. Four additional fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G; no perpetual license tier is encoded.
MS220-48FP-HW is configured through the browser-based Meraki dashboard, with SNMP integration for third-party network monitoring. The management model uses the cloud interface rather than a traditional configuration CLI. Remote cable tests, packet capture, and searchable event and configuration logs provide troubleshooting through the management interface.
MS220-48FP-HW reached end of sale on July 29, 2017, and end of support on July 29, 2024. Cisco service has ended. The interim replacement MS120-48FP-HW is also discontinued; MS130-48P-HW is a current alternative for a new 48-port Gigabit PoE+ hardware purchase.
ORM Systems offers MS220-48FP-HW new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended coverage on new units and up to 1-year coverage on refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original lifetime hardware warranty ended with support on July 29, 2024.
MS220-48FP-HW uses separately purchased Enterprise cloud licensing, with LIC-MS220-48FP-1YR for one year and LIC-MS220-48FP-3YR for three years. These are term licenses rather than an included perpetual network tier. Hardware condition does not replace licensing, and a license purchase does not restore Cisco support after July 29, 2024.
No, MS220-48FP-HW shares a 740W PoE budget across its 48 powered ports, while individual ports support a 30W maximum. The shared allowance is smaller than all ports requesting their individual maximum together. Size the connected phones, cameras, and access points by their combined requested power rather than port count alone.
The MS220 fixed uplinks support MA-SFP-1GB-SX for multimode fiber, MA-SFP-1GB-LX10 for single-mode fiber, and MA-SFP-1GB-TX for copper connectivity. Their respective maximum reaches are 550 m, 10 km, and 100 m. Match the transceiver to the installed medium and remote interface; these are 1G uplink options.
No, MS220-48FP-HW provides virtual stacking for centralized configuration and monitoring rather than physical switch stacking. Virtual stacking groups ports through the management interface without a dedicated stacking connection between switches. The grouping does not turn the hardware into a shared physical stack or create an additional stack bandwidth allowance.
No, MS220-48FP-HW uses an internal power supply, with optional external redundancy through PWR-RPS2300 rather than a second internal supply module. An order requiring external power backup must identify PWR-RPS2300 separately. The internal supply remains part of the base hardware configuration; external redundancy is not included as standard.
No, the MS220 series provides Layer 2 access switching rather than inter-VLAN routing, so routed traffic requires an upstream routing device. STP/RSTP provides loop prevention, LACP groups linked interfaces, and IPv4 ACLs filter traffic. These switching and filtering functions do not make the MS220 a Layer 3 switch.
MS220-48FP-HW provides a 740W PoE budget, while MS220-48LP-HW provides 370W. Both models are discontinued, so neither represents a current-generation purchase. For an existing installation, the FP configuration accommodates a larger aggregate endpoint-power requirement; the LP configuration addresses a smaller requirement that fits within its shared allowance.
MS220-48FP-HW has 48 copper Ethernet ports, while MS220-24P-HW has 24. Both models are discontinued. The larger configuration addresses a denser copper patching requirement within an existing installation; the smaller configuration addresses fewer copper connections. Count the required physical connections before selecting either legacy hardware configuration.
MS130-48P-HW is a current-generation model, whereas MS220-48FP-HW reached end of support on July 29, 2024. Both address 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access requirements. MS220-48FP-HW serves legacy hardware matching where ended support is accepted; MS130-48P-HW addresses purchasing that calls for a current cloud-managed access configuration.
MS220-48FP-HW occupies 1U of rack space and measures 44.4 mm high, 484.6 mm wide, and 360 mm deep, with a weight of 4.95 kg. Rack-mount hardware accompanies the standard configuration. Check cabinet depth and cable clearance before assigning the switch a position in an existing rack.
