MS250-48FP-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 3 stackable access switch with 48 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, and two dedicated stacking ports in a 1U rack form factor. The Cisco Meraki MS250 targets branch and campus access closets that need dashboard management, 10G uplink handoff, and PoE for access points, phones, cameras, or other powered endpoints. The MS250 series uses modular power with one MA-PWR-1025WAC included and an optional second MA-PWR-1025WAC for power redundancy. Meraki MS250-48FP carries the 740W PoE configuration; the closest sibling, MS250-48LP-HW, keeps the same 48 access ports and 10G SFP+ uplinks but lowers the PoE budget to 370W.
MS250-48FP-HW price for new stock is $1,359.75, a 25.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,822.50. MS250-48FP-HW refurb price is $228.90. MS250-48FP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity supports the 48-port model’s Gigabit access layer and fixed 10G uplinks, while 127.98 Mpps forwarding rate is the published 48-port forwarding figure. 740W PoE budget is shared across powered ports, so 48 endpoints at 30W PoE+ would exceed the available allocation. MS250-48FP-HW supports static routing, OSPFv2, DHCP relay, DHCP server, and Warm Spare using VRRP, with OSPF and Warm Spare not operating concurrently. Thirty-two thousand MAC forwarding entries, 4,094 VLANs, jumbo frames to 9578 bytes, and 8 CoS queues define the access switching scale. Management runs through the Meraki cloud management platform with web dashboard provisioning, SNMP, SYSLOG, remote cable testing, remote packet capture, automatic firmware upgrades, and Virtual Stacking for dashboard-level configuration across large port counts. Physical stacking supports eight switches with 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth using MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M, or MA-CBL-40G-3M cables.
MS250-48FP-HW is available from ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished hardware for purchase by PO, Net-30 for government, and volume orders across UK, EU, US, and MEA stock. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, firmware verified, wiped to factory default, and checked for POST, every port linking at rated speed, PoE output under load, optics bay recognition, stack adapter negotiation, PSU status, and fan status. New units qualify for up to 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units qualify for up to 1 year, and 30-day returns apply to every condition. Include Enterprise license term and any MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M, MA-CBL-40G-3M, or MA-PWR-1025WAC spares on the PO; RMA with advance replacement is available.

MS250-48FP-HW sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, cameras, access points, printers, and workstations on 48 1GbE RJ-45 ports. The 740W PoE budget powers dense endpoint groups from the same switch, while 4 10G SFP+ uplinks carry aggregated traffic toward distribution. Engineers configure VLANs, 802.1X access control, QoS, DHCP snooping, and ACL policy in Meraki Dashboard. The result is a high-density powered edge with centralized policy and fewer separate power injectors.
MS250-48FP-HW operates as a routed access or small distribution point where endpoint VLANs require local Layer 3 handling before traffic moves upstream. The switch presents 48 gigabit access ports, routes local VLAN traffic, and participates in OSPF-based designs through the Meraki Dashboard configuration model. Its 4 10G SFP+ interfaces connect to upstream switching, firewalls, or aggregation links. The result is reduced dependence on upstream routing for local VLAN movement and clearer control of branch traffic paths.
Multiple MS250-48FP-HW switches form a physical access stack through the dedicated stack ports and provide up to 80Gbps stacking bandwidth across the closet. Each member adds 48 gigabit copper ports, 740W PoE capacity, and 4 10G SFP+ uplinks for planned northbound connectivity. Engineers standardize stack cabling, power supply layout, VLAN templates, port profiles, and firmware behavior through Meraki Dashboard. The result is expanded access density under one operational view with consistent configuration across repeated switch members.
A campus floor that needs more than one access switch can join MS250 members into a physical stack using the two dedicated stacking ports, with eight members supported. Check rack adjacency and specify MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M, or MA-CBL-40G-3M lengths before the PO.
A site standard built on MS320-48FP-HW can refresh to the named 48x GigE 740W PoE replacement while preserving the cloud-managed access role. Confirm whether existing uplink optics, stacking cables, and Enterprise license terms are being replaced or separately renewed before the PO.
A multi-site rollout that relies on dashboard templates can standardize on 48 access ports, fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, and MS250-48FP Enterprise license and support terms across branches. Order the same hardware condition, license duration, and stacking cable lengths for each site.
Multigigabit access ports
MS250-48FP-HW access ports are 10/100/1000BASE-T. Use MS150-48MP-4X when the requirement is documented multigigabit RJ-45 access, UPOE, and fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Included power redundancy
MS250-48FP-HW ships with one MA-PWR-1025WAC. Add a second MA-PWR-1025WAC to the PO when the requirement is hot-swappable redundant power.
40G uplinks
MS250-48FP-HW provides four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and no QSFP ports. Keep 40G aggregation requirements off this access model.
Every port at 30W
MS250-48FP-HW provides a 740W shared PoE budget across 48 PoE+ ports. A design requiring 1440W for 48 simultaneous 30W endpoints exceeds the documented budget.

MS250-48FP-HW is the hardware PID for the MS250 series 48x GigE 740W PoE model. MS250 names the series, 48FP is the model segment used for the 48x GigE 740W PoE description, and HW separates the hardware from the Enterprise license and support term.
MS250-48FP-HW is managed through the Meraki cloud management platform and web dashboard, with SNMP and SYSLOG for external monitoring. The switch does not require CLI for configuration or port management; remote diagnostics include ping, traceroute, cable test, link alerts, and remote packet capture.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for MS250. MS250-48FP-HW is also named as the replacement for MS320-48FP-HW, whose end-of-support date was 31 March 2024. Treat the MS320 milestone as predecessor lifecycle information, not as an end date for this MS250 hardware.
MS250-48FP-HW is sold by ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished hardware. Cisco lists a full lifetime hardware warranty with next-day advanced replacement; ORM offers up to 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns with terms applying.
MS250-48FP-HW uses MS250-48FP Enterprise license and support for cloud management. MS licenses are available in 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-year terms, so the minimum documented term is 1 year. The hardware and license duration should be quoted together.
MS250-48FP-HW replaced MS320-48FP-HW as the functionally equivalent 48x GigE 740W PoE model. The MS320-48FP-HW stopped being available for sale after stock depletion on 6 March 2017, and Cisco Meraki support for the MS320 family ended 31 March 2024.
The Cisco Meraki MS250-48FP provides 740W of shared PoE+ power across 48 powered Gigabit ports. Because 48 ports at 30W would total 1440W, endpoint power classes must be sized against the shared budget rather than assuming every port can draw full PoE+ simultaneously.
MS250-48FP-HW has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and two dedicated stacking ports. Physical stacking supports eight switches with 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth, using MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M, or MA-CBL-40G-3M cables ordered for the required rack distance.
MS250-48FP-HW supports Layer 3 operation with static routing, OSPFv2, DHCP relay, DHCP server, and Warm Spare using VRRP. OSPF and Warm Spare do not operate concurrently, so routed access and warm-spare designs need that choice settled before configuration in the dashboard.
No, MS250-48FP-HW ships with one MA-PWR-1025WAC power supply installed for the 48FP model. The chassis supports a second MA-PWR-1025WAC, sold separately, for hot-swappable power redundancy, so redundant power requires an additional supply on the purchase order and rack power planning.
MS250-48FP-HW provides a 740W PoE budget, while MS250-48LP-HW provides 370W on the same 48-port MS250 access format. Choose MS250-48FP-HW when the endpoint power plan needs the larger PoE allocation; choose MS250-48LP-HW when 370W covers the powered devices.
MS250-48FP-HW is the 48-port 740W PoE model, while MS250-24P-HW is a 24-port 370W PoE model. Choose MS250-48FP-HW for higher copper density in one rack unit; choose MS250-24P-HW when the closet only needs 24 access ports.
