MS225-48LP-HW is a Cisco Meraki MS225 Series cloud-managed Layer 2+ access switch for branch and enterprise access networks that need high copper density with shared PoE+ power. It provides 48 fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports for endpoint access and 4 fixed 1/10G SFP+ ports for upstream fiber or DAC uplinks. PoE+ support powers devices from the switch, and the 1U rack-mount chassis fits standard wiring closets where space, airflow and front-panel service access matter. Management runs through Cisco Meraki Dashboard, giving administrators cloud-based port configuration, client visibility, alerts, remote packet capture and firmware control across distributed sites. A close sibling, MS225-48FP, keeps the same 48 copper ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks but increases PoE capacity to 740W instead of 370W.
176 Gbps switching capacity supports dense 48-port access use with 10G uplink handoff toward distribution switches. 130.9 Mpps forwarding rate is derived from the documented switching capacity using standard 64-byte line-rate calculation where a published forwarding figure is not listed. 370W PoE budget is allocated across powered RJ-45 ports for access points, IP phones, cameras and other endpoint devices that fit the shared power plan. Static routing gives the platform limited Layer 3 path handling, while documented access controls include IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1X authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP Snooping and Broadcast Storm Control. MS225-48LP-HW also includes one dedicated management interface, a fixed internal AC power supply, optional external RPS support through the Cisco RPS2300 platform, SNMP/Syslog integration, remote troubleshooting tools and automatic firmware upgrades from the Meraki cloud.
At the access tier, this switch aggregates wired endpoints and powered edge devices before handing traffic to aggregation or distribution through fixed SFP+ uplinks. Two dedicated hardware stack ports provide 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth, and compatible MS225 or MS210 stack members support larger closet builds under a shared operational model. The chassis occupies 1U of rack space, uses front-facing access interfaces, and supports standard rack installation with region-specific power cords ordered separately. ORM Systems supplies MS225-48LP-HW in new and certified refurbished conditions for refresh projects, spares pools and staged rollouts. Refurbished units are checked for power-up, RJ-45 port response, SFP+ recognition, stack-port condition and Meraki claim readiness before dispatch. Submit the target quantity to ORM Systems for hardware, licensing, uplink optics, stacking cables and volume purchasing requirements.

MS225-48LP-HW sits at the access layer and terminates endpoint copper runs on 48 1G RJ-45 PoE+ ports. Engineers assign voice, data, camera and wireless VLANs in Meraki Dashboard, apply 802.1X policies, and reserve the 370W PoE budget for access points, phones and sensors. Four 10G SFP+ uplinks carry northbound traffic to distribution or aggregation switches, while static routing handles defined local paths. The result is a dense powered access block with centralized port policy and predictable uplink capacity.
Several MS225-48LP-HW switches form a physical stack through two dedicated stack ports, creating an 80Gbps stacking domain for branch access closets. Network teams add units when endpoint density grows, keep port configuration in Meraki Dashboard, and standardize PoE allocation across repeated 48-port blocks. The four 10G SFP+ uplinks on each switch support resilient handoff designs toward upstream switches. The result is expanded powered access capacity under one cloud-managed operational model, with clearer change control across the closet.
The switch operates as the monitored access edge for networks that prioritize remote operations through Meraki Dashboard. MS225-48LP-HW reports per-port and per-client usage, supports remote packet capture, receives scheduled firmware updates, and exports SNMP or syslog data into operational tooling. Engineers place the dedicated management interface and routable management IP into the design before site turn-up. The result is a 48-port PoE+ access layer that support teams configure, inspect and troubleshoot without routine local console access.

It is designed for access-layer deployments where powered endpoints, cloud administration and high-speed uplinks are required in a 1U rack-mount form factor.
MS225-48LP-HW identifies a Cisco Meraki MS225 hardware switch with 48 copper access ports and the LP PoE power class. In this model, LP refers to the 370W PoE budget, while HW indicates the physical hardware unit. The model belongs to the Meraki MS225 cloud-managed access switch family.
MS225-48LP-HW is a network switch, not a router or firewall. It provides Layer 2 access switching with static routing support, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, ACLs, DHCP snooping, 802.1X authentication and Meraki Dashboard management. It is normally placed at the access layer to connect endpoints, wireless access points, phones and other wired devices.
MS225-48LP-HW sits in the Cisco Meraki MS225 access switching family. It offers more access ports than the 24-port MS225 models, adds PoE compared with the unpowered MS225-48, and uses a lower 370W PoE budget than MS225-48FP-HW. It suits dense access closets that need 10G uplinks without the full 740W PoE budget.
MS225-48LP-HW has 48 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 access ports and 4 1000/10000 Mbps SFP+ uplink ports.

MS225-48LP-HW provides a 370W PoE/PoE+ budget across its 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Cisco lists PoE support up to 30W per port, subject to the available total power budget. This makes the switch suitable for mixed endpoint environments with access points, IP phones, cameras and other powered devices that do not require the higher 740W MS225-48FP-HW model.
MS225-48LP-HW supports static routing, while its primary role remains Layer 2 access switching. It also supports VLAN tagging, IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection and 802.1X authentication. Network teams should use it for access-layer segmentation and defined static routes, not as a full dynamic routing core switch.
MS225-48LP-HW is managed through Cisco Meraki Dashboard. The dashboard supports cloud-based port configuration, per-port and per-client usage visibility, remote packet capture, firmware scheduling, email alerts, SNMP and syslog integration. This management model suits distributed access networks where administrators need centralized visibility without routine local CLI access to each switch.
MS225-48LP-HW supports physical stacking through two dedicated hardware stack ports with up to 80Gbps stacking bandwidth. Cisco also notes MS225 and MS210 cross-model stacking support. Stacking cables are sold separately, so buyers should include the correct Meraki stacking accessories when planning multi-switch access closets or branch switch blocks.
MS225-48LP-HW is used for powered access switching in networks that need 48 Gigabit copper ports, 10G uplinks and cloud-based operations. It connects endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, printers and workstations. The 370W PoE budget supports mixed access deployments where every port does not need maximum PoE+ draw.
MS225-48LP-HW fits branch sites, access closets and distributed networks that need a full 48-port Gigabit PoE access layer with 10G uplink capacity. It is useful where endpoint count is high but the total PoE demand fits within 370W. Larger PoE-heavy designs should compare it with MS225-48FP-HW before ordering.
MS225-48LP-HW suits endpoint access workloads such as VoIP, wireless access point connectivity, surveillance cameras, office endpoints and general LAN access. Voice and video QoS support helps prioritize latency-sensitive traffic. The four 10G SFP+ uplinks give the switch enough northbound bandwidth for access-layer aggregation into distribution or core switching.
MS225-48LP-HW is suitable for branch deployments that standardize on Cisco Meraki cloud management. The switch provides 48 Gigabit access ports, 370W PoE, static routing, 10G SFP+ uplinks and hardware stacking. Remote troubleshooting, firmware scheduling and dashboard visibility help operations teams manage branch access switching without maintaining separate local management processes at each site.
MS225-48LP-HW is designed for Cisco Meraki Dashboard management and requires a Meraki license for activation and ongoing management. The dashboard is used to claim the device, add it to a network, configure switch ports, manage VLANs and monitor clients. Buyers should include the correct MS225 license term with the hardware order.
MS225-48LP-HW includes 4 SFP+ uplink ports that support 1G and 10G operation. Compatible optics or DAC cables should be selected from Cisco Meraki-supported SFP/SFP+ transceiver options and matched to the upstream switch, fiber type, reach and connector requirement. ORM Systems can quote the switch with suitable Cisco Meraki uplink accessories.
MS225-48LP-HW supports stacking with compatible Cisco Meraki MS225 switches and Cisco notes cross-model stacking with MS210 and MS225 series switches. The switch uses dedicated hardware stack ports and requires separate stacking cables. Buyers planning a mixed stack should confirm firmware, licensing, cable length and stack topology before deployment.
MS225-48LP-HW uses a fixed internal power supply and supports an optional external RPS connection through the Cisco RPS2300 platform. Region-specific power cords are ordered separately, including options such as MA-PWR-CORD-UK, MA-PWR-CORD-EU and MA-PWR-CORD-US. Cisco notes the RPS2300 has reached end-of-sale, so availability should be checked before quoting redundancy accessories.
MS225-48LP-HW and MS225-48FP-HW both provide 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, 4 10G SFP+ uplinks, 176Gbps switching capacity and 80Gbps stacking bandwidth. The main difference is PoE budget.
