MS250-48LP-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. PoE+ is available across the copper interfaces for powered network endpoints, while the full-width 1U chassis fits rack-based branch and campus installations. The Meraki MS250 family combines physical stacking with redundant-power capability; a second supply is optional rather than included. Fixed uplink cages accept connection media directly, so the configuration does not depend on a removable uplink card. The discontinued MS250-48FP-HW provides a 740W PoE allowance for larger endpoint-power allocations within an existing MS250 estate. Cisco Meraki access switching brings configuration and monitoring into a cloud-managed operating model.
MS250-48LP-HW price for new stock is $1,095.15, a 31.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,599.00. MS250-48LP-HW refurb price is $206.85. MS250-48LP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching ceiling for traffic sizing, while 127.98 Mpps forwarding defines the packet-processing rate. 370W of shared PoE+ power makes aggregate endpoint demand, rather than occupied port count, the power-sizing constraint. 480W maximum power consumption belongs in electrical-load planning rather than the higher rating of MA-PWR-640WAC. Static routing and OSPF support local route handling, while VRRP supports warm-spare operation. MS250-48LP-HW integrates with SNMP and Syslog, and the Meraki Dashboard provides remote packet capture and automatic firmware upgrades. IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs support traffic policy, while DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide checks around address assignment and ARP traffic. The local status page supports initial IP configuration and cloud-connectivity troubleshooting. Fixed internal fans provide active cooling, so this is not a fanless switch. Native copper access remains Gigabit Ethernet rather than multigigabit.
ORM Systems offers MS250-48LP-HW new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Specify the required condition and quantity before submitting the purchase order. For enterprise and volume purchasing, POs are accepted, government buyers can use Net-30, and regional UK, EU, US, and MEA stock and RMA arrangements include advance replacement.

When an installed MS320-48LP-HW needs replacement, this model follows the earlier PoE switch in the migration path. The predecessor's Cisco support ended March 31, 2024. Match existing network settings and powered endpoints, then confirm hardware compatibility and the required license before releasing the purchase order.
For a branch rollout staged centrally before shipment, regional electrical accessories need their own order lines. MA-PWR-CORD-US serves US installations, while MA-PWR-CORD-EU and MA-PWR-CORD-UK address their respective regions. Confirm destination, cable quantities, and the number of installed power supplies before approving the staged shipment.
Native multigigabit copper access
MS250-48LP-HW has Gigabit Ethernet copper access ports, not multigigabit access ports. Connecting faster copper endpoints does not change the native speed of those connections.
Endpoint power above the shared allowance
MS250-48LP-HW provides a shared 370W PoE+ allowance. Powered-device demand above that allowance exceeds this model's endpoint-power budget, regardless of how many ports remain unused.
Cisco support beyond August 2030
MS250-48LP-HW reaches Cisco's end-of-support milestone on August 8, 2030. C9300L-48P-4X-M is the migration replacement to evaluate when establishing a new hardware standard.

MS250-48LP-HW identifies MS250-series hardware with 48 Gigabit copper ports and the 370W PoE configuration. MS250 identifies the series, 48 identifies the access-port count, LP distinguishes this power-budget variant, and HW identifies the hardware item. The separate Enterprise license is not represented by a license-tier suffix on this PID.
MS250-48LP-HW is configured and monitored through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard, with a local status page for initial IP settings and connectivity troubleshooting. Dashboard tools include remote packet capture and firmware upgrades. SNMP and Syslog integration provide additional monitoring paths without replacing Dashboard configuration.
Yes, MS250-48LP-HW reached end of sale on August 8, 2025, and Cisco support ends August 8, 2030. C9300L-48P-4X-M is the migration replacement. Existing-estate purchases therefore need to distinguish the remaining support window from hardware condition and any separately purchased license term.
ORM Systems offers MS250-48LP-HW new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's hardware warranty is separately bounded by the August 8, 2030 end-of-support date.
Yes, MS250-48LP-HW requires a separate Meraki Enterprise license for cloud management and support. Standard Enterprise terms are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years, with LIC-MS250-48LP-1YR providing the one-year option. The hardware PID identifies the switch rather than an included perpetual network-software tier.
MS250-48LP-HW replaced the discontinued MS320-48LP-HW as the corresponding 48-port Gigabit PoE model. MS320-48LP-HW became unavailable on March 6, 2017 after stock depletion, ahead of the family's planned final-order date. Cisco support for the older model ended March 31, 2024; the replacement's lifecycle is separate.
MS250-48LP-HW provides a shared 370W PoE+ budget across its 48 copper access ports. Port availability does not mean every connected endpoint can draw its individual maximum simultaneously. Size the combined powered-device requirement against the shared allowance before approving the endpoint list or adding equipment to an existing installation.
The MS250-48LP-HW configuration includes four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports, so no removable uplink card is required. Optical transceivers are selected separately for the intended link. The two dedicated rear stacking ports serve physical stacking and are separate from the four network uplinks.
An MS250 physical stack supports eight members with 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth. MS250 models can stack with other MS250 models, but not different MS families. Cable choices are MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M, and MA-CBL-40G-3M; select lengths to suit the actual rack arrangement.
MS250-48LP-HW includes one MA-PWR-640WAC; a second MA-PWR-640WAC is ordered separately for redundant power. The chassis supports two internal supply modules, but the second position is not populated as standard. Include the additional supply explicitly when redundant power is part of the purchase requirement.
MS250-48LP-HW provides a 370W PoE+ budget, while MS250-48FP-HW provides 740W. Both models are discontinued. Within an existing MS250 estate, the LP model addresses the lower aggregate endpoint-power requirement, while the FP model addresses a larger shared PoE allocation; neither budget should be confused with unrestricted power on every port.
MS250-48LP-HW ships with MA-PWR-640WAC, while MS250-48-HW ships with MA-PWR-250WAC. Both models are discontinued, and their specified supply spares differ. Buyers maintaining an installed LP model need MA-PWR-640WAC, whereas buyers maintaining MS250-48-HW need MA-PWR-250WAC; the two supply requirements should not be combined into one common spare line.
C9300L-48P-4X-M is the migration replacement for discontinued MS250-48LP-HW. The older model reached end of sale August 8, 2025, with Cisco support ending August 8, 2030. C9300L-48P-4X-M addresses migration planning, while MS250-48LP-HW remains relevant to buyers maintaining an existing MS250 hardware estate.
