MS250-48P-HW is a Cisco Meraki MS250 cloud-managed, stackable Layer 3 access switch for branch and small-campus switching where 48 powered copper endpoints need 10G upstream capacity. It provides 48 fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports, 4 fixed 1000/10000 Mbps SFP+ uplinks, PoE+ support with a shared 370W power budget, and a 1U rack-mount chassis in the Cisco Meraki MS250 series. The fixed-uplink design gives each unit native fiber handoff without selecting a separate network module, while the Dashboard operating model suits distributed teams that manage access switches across multiple sites. The platform uses Meraki Dashboard rather than a traditional local CLI workflow, giving operations teams central port visibility, remote packet capture, firmware scheduling, SNMP/syslog integration, and configuration control. MS250-48FP-HW is the closest higher-power sibling; it keeps the same 48 RJ-45 access ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks but increases PoE capacity to 740W.
176 Gbps switching capacity carries traffic across the access and uplink fabric for high-density wiring closets. 127.98 Mpps forwarding rate supports line-rate movement across the 48-port MS250 hardware profile. 370W PoE budget powers mixed endpoint loads through PoE/PoE+ allocation instead of reserving full PoE+ draw for every connected device. OSPFv2 routing, static routing, DHCP relay, DHCP server, IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, VRRP warm spare, Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP snooping, 802.1X, and 802.1Q VLAN tagging place routed access, segmentation, and protection controls inside the switch layer. MS250-48P-HW includes one dedicated management interface and fixed internal fan operation, while dual hot-swap power supply bays support the MS250 modular power design. 32000-entry MAC capacity, jumbo frame support up to 9578 bytes, and flow control support help the switch maintain stable forwarding behavior as endpoint count and VLAN traffic increase. 480W maximum power load keeps documented draw above the shared PoE delivery envelope.
MS250-48P-HW fits the access tier in branch offices, distributed sites, and compact campus networks that connect workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, printers, and local infrastructure devices. Physical stacking uses two dedicated stack ports and supports Meraki switch stacks of up to eight like-model switches, while the 1U form factor preserves standard rack space in wiring closets. ORM Systems supplies this model in new and certified refurbished condition, with refurbished units checked for RJ-45 links, SFP+ recognition, stack-port behavior, PSU status, fan operation, and PoE output before dispatch. Request MS250-48P-HW pricing with required quantity, condition, license term, optics, stacking cables, and delivery location so enterprise and volume buyers receive a hardware quote aligned to the deployment bill of materials. For multi-site refreshes, ORM Systems also helps source matched units and associated accessories for consistent closet builds. Large orders can be quoted as staged rollout batches.

MS250-48P-HW sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and access points on 48 Gigabit PoE+ RJ-45 ports. Network teams assign VLANs, QoS policies, 802.1X controls, and PoE budgets through the Meraki Dashboard, then pass northbound traffic through the 4 fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The 370W PoE budget supports mixed powered endpoint loads across the closet. The result is a cloud-managed access edge with local policy enforcement and controlled endpoint power.
The switch operates as a routed access point where local VLAN gateways and upstream routing decisions need to stay close to connected endpoints. Engineers configure Layer 3 switching functions such as static routes, OSPFv2, DHCP relay, and warm spare behavior where the LAN design requires local resilience. MS250-48P-HW combines those routed access functions with 48 powered Gigabit ports and 10G SFP+ uplinks. The result is reduced dependency on a separate upstream device for every local inter-VLAN traffic path.
MS250-48P-HW joins compatible MS250 switches through dedicated physical stack ports to build a larger branch access block under one Meraki Dashboard management plane. Engineers standardize port templates, VLAN assignments, firmware scheduling, stack cabling, and uplink placement before adding members to the closet. Each unit contributes 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and a 370W power budget for endpoint growth. The result is higher access density with simpler administration, coordinated uplinks, and fewer standalone switch islands.
