MS320-48FP-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 PoE+ ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, connecting powered endpoints separately from upstream aggregation links. Its full-width 1U rack chassis serves campus wiring closets and branch networks supporting phones, wireless access points, and cameras. The Meraki MS320 combines endpoint switching with inter-VLAN routing rather than requiring every local subnet to terminate upstream. The discontinued MS320-48LP-HW retains the same access-port density but has a smaller endpoint power budget, so matching the front-panel port count alone does not identify the equivalent power configuration.
MS320-48FP-HW price for new stock is $1,204.35. MS320-48FP-HW refurb price is $164.43. MS320-48FP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity provides a nonblocking fabric for access and uplink traffic. 740W of shared PoE power requires allocation across connected endpoints rather than assuming simultaneous maximum output everywhere. Static routing and OSPFv2 support local subnet routing; OSPF and Warm Spare cannot operate concurrently. MS320-48FP-HW maintains 32000 MAC entries and supports 4095 VLANs for endpoint segmentation. Eight class-of-service queues per port support traffic prioritization, while LACP aggregates links and STP/RSTP controls Layer 2 loops. The Cisco Meraki MS family uses browser-based dashboard configuration instead of a local configuration CLI; SNMP integration supports external monitoring. Role-based administration and two-factor authentication control administrative access. Virtual stacking groups ports for management but does not create a physical stack fabric. 52W idle consumption versus 885W at full load makes the connected endpoint load material to circuit and cooling planning, rather than treating idle draw as the operating maximum.
Order MS320-48FP-HW in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying quantity and required accessories on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified, and configurations wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco coverage and service ended March 31, 2024. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an existing routed network needs like-for-like hardware, MS320-48FP-HW provides DHCP Helper and DHCP server functions alongside its gateway role. Automatic DHCP failover belongs to Warm Spare mode. Specify the intended addressing responsibility and gateway behavior before the PO, including whether another device already supplies those services.
When a distributed Meraki installation needs matching hardware, MS320-48FP-HW provides remote packet capture, cable testing, and searchable configuration-change logs. Define who will receive dashboard access and perform remote acceptance checks. Include the required operational handover and troubleshooting procedure in the order before shipping equipment to another site.
When a staging environment must reproduce an installed access policy, MS320-48FP-HW supports IPv4 ACLs, MAC-based RADIUS authentication, BPDU guard, and root guard. Identify the endpoint authentication and loop-protection checks that the lab must reproduce, then specify the required policy acceptance tests and connected-device mix before placing the PO.
Active Cisco hardware support
MS320-48FP-HW passed its last support date on March 31, 2024. C9350-48P is a current 48-port PoE+ migration option for purchases requiring supported hardware.
Physical switch stacking requirements
MS320-48FP-HW provides virtual stacking for management, not a physical stack fabric. C9350-48P belongs to the C9350 family, which supports physical stacking through StackWise-1.6T.
Higher-speed copper access connections
MS320-48FP-HW copper access ports stop at 1Gbps. C9350-48HX provides 48 multigigabit ports reaching 10Gbps and changes endpoint power capability to 90W PoE.

MS320-48FP-HW identifies the Meraki MS320 cloud-managed Layer 3 family, 48 Gigabit access ports, the FP configuration with a 740W PoE budget, and the hardware item. The HW form is distinct from separately ordered Enterprise license items; the hardware identifier does not specify a license term.
The Meraki MS320 is configured through the browser-based Meraki dashboard rather than a local configuration CLI. SNMP integration supports external monitoring, while role-based administration and two-factor authentication control administrator access. Virtual stacking allows administrators to configure and monitor ports together without physically stacking the switches.
MS320-48FP-HW is discontinued, and Cisco support ended March 31, 2024. The model was already unavailable by March 6, 2017, before the planned series end-of-sale date. Its original MS250-48FP-HW replacement is also discontinued; the C9350 family is the current access-switch migration direction.
ORM offers MS320-48FP-HW new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's original lifetime hardware coverage and service ended March 31, 2024. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
MS320-48FP-HW used separately ordered Enterprise licenses, with LIC-MS320-48FP-1YR covering one year and LIC-MS320-48FP-3YR covering three years. Both license items are end-of-sale. Confirm licensing eligibility for the intended organization before ordering hardware; an ORM hardware purchase does not extend the Cisco support period.
MS320-48FP-HW shares a 740W PoE budget across 48 powered access ports, with a 30W per-port maximum. The shared allocation does not support maximum draw on every port simultaneously. Size the purchase against simultaneous endpoint demand and advertised power requirements rather than the number of connected devices alone.
MS320-48FP-HW has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and supports MA-SFP-10GB-SR multimode or MA-SFP-10GB-LR single-mode optics. Compatible 1G options include MA-SFP-1GB-SX and MA-SFP-1GB-LX10. These are transceiver choices for built-in cages, not removable network cards that add uplink ports or change the chassis architecture.
The Meraki MS320 cannot form a physical switch stack; virtual stacking provides unified port management instead. The chassis does not provide the dedicated physical stack connections of stackable Meraki models. Do not specify a physical stacking cable or assume virtual grouping adds a shared hardware forwarding fabric.
The Meraki MS320 supports static routing and OSPFv2 for Layer 3 operation. Warm Spare provides gateway redundancy, but OSPF and Warm Spare do not operate concurrently. DHCP server and DHCP Helper functions are also available, so the routing and addressing arrangement must be selected before configuration.
MS320-48FP-HW ships with MA-PWR-1025WAC, and a second MA-PWR-1025WAC is an optional redundant supply rather than standard equipment. The AC input range is 100-240V. Full-load consumption is 885W, while idle consumption is 52W; size the electrical provision for the intended powered-endpoint load.
MS320-48FP-HW provides a 740W PoE budget, whereas MS320-48LP-HW provides 370W across the same access-port count. Both models are discontinued. The FP configuration suits like-for-like requirements with greater aggregate endpoint demand; the LP configuration corresponds to an installed environment sized around the smaller shared allocation.
MS320-48FP-HW has 48 copper access ports, while MS320-24P-HW has 24. Both belong to the discontinued Meraki MS320 family. The larger model matches an installed requirement for higher endpoint density; the smaller model matches locations where the existing cabling and endpoint inventory require fewer connections.
C9350-48P runs Cisco IOS XE with cloud-managed, on-premises, and hybrid deployment choices; MS320-48FP-HW uses the Meraki operating system and cloud management. MS320-48FP-HW is a discontinued legacy replacement choice, while C9350-48P addresses buyers moving to the current C9350 access-switch family rather than retaining the older operating environment.
The Meraki MS320 provides eight class-of-service queues per port and quality-of-service prioritization for voice, video, and data traffic. Voice VLAN support separates telephone traffic from other endpoints. Specify the required VLAN assignments and prioritization policy during configuration rather than assuming endpoint powering alone establishes the traffic policy.
