MS320-48LP-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, PoE+ endpoint power, and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks in a rack-mount 1U chassis. The Meraki MS320 family serves campus and branch access networks carrying desktop, voice, wireless access point, and camera connections. Built-in uplink cages provide the upstream interfaces without requiring a removable network card. The discontinued MS320-48FP-HW sibling carries a 740W PoE budget for a different endpoint power allocation. Centralized administration belongs to the Meraki cloud interface rather than a traditional command-line configuration workflow, which matters when matching replacement hardware to an existing operational environment.
MS320-48LP-HW price for new stock is $1,603.35, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,206.70. MS320-48LP-HW refurb price is $175.35. MS320-48LP-HW is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity provides a non-blocking fabric for the access and uplink interfaces. 370W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocation across the powered ports; individual PoE+ ports support 30W rather than guaranteeing that output simultaneously everywhere. Static routing and OSPFv2 provide routed access functions, while STP, RSTP, and LACP support the Ethernet topology. The forwarding table holds 32000 MAC entries, and IPv4 ACLs provide traffic filtering. LLDP and CDP support endpoint discovery and power negotiation. MS320-48LP-HW ships with MA-PWR-640WAC, with a second MA-PWR-640WAC optional for internal supply redundancy. The Cisco Meraki MS operating system separates forwarding from cloud control and management. Operation requires 100-240V AC input and an ambient temperature between 0°C and 40°C.
Specify MS320-48LP-HW as new sealed or certified refurbished, with the required quantity and condition on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested: every port links at rated speed, PoE output is verified under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition is checked, firmware is verified, and configuration is 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, plus 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply, and Cisco's warranty ended March 31, 2024. Enterprise and volume purchasing includes PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and UK, EU, US, and MEA regional stock/RMA coverage.

When a lab reproduces an existing Meraki access configuration, two-factor authentication and role-based administration provide separate controls for test operators using the cloud interface. Define the administrator roles, configuration ownership, and permitted changes within the intended management environment before specifying the staging hardware order.
When a routed access deployment also provides endpoint addressing, DHCP relay and an integrated DHCP server offer different address-service arrangements. Automatic DHCP failover belongs to warm spare operation, while OSPFv2 and warm spare cannot run concurrently. Specify the gateway redundancy and address-service design before issuing the purchase order.
When branch operators standardize notification handling, email alerts cover downtime and configuration changes, while text delivery requires a carrier-supported email-to-SMS gateway. Treat that gateway as an external dependency in the rollout plan, and confirm the notification recipients and their service before ordering the site batch.
Physical stacking across multiple switches
MS320-48LP-HW provides management-only virtual stacking rather than a physical stack fabric. Grouping ports in the cloud interface does not create a shared hardware forwarding stack.
More than 30W per endpoint
MS320-48LP-HW supports 30W per PoE+ port within its shared power allocation. Endpoints requiring greater switch-side output exceed the powered-port capability of this model.
Concurrent OSPF and warm spare
MS320-48LP-HW cannot operate OSPFv2 and warm spare gateway redundancy concurrently. A deployment requiring both functions simultaneously exceeds this switch's supported routing and redundancy combination.
Active Cisco hardware support entitlement
MS320-48LP-HW passed its March 31, 2024 support deadline. Its migration chain runs through discontinued MS250-48LP-HW to C9300L-48P-4X-M; purchasing this hardware does not restore Cisco service.

MS320-48LP-HW identifies the Meraki MS320 cloud-managed Layer 3 hardware with 48 Gigabit ports and a 370W powered configuration. MS320 names the family, 48 gives the access-port count, LP selects this powered configuration, and HW identifies the hardware order rather than its separately selected cloud-management subscription.
The Meraki MS320 is managed through the Meraki cloud web interface, with SNMP integration for third-party network monitoring. The interface provides configuration, historical port and client statistics, event logs, cable tests, and remote packet capture. Administration uses role-based access and integrated two-factor authentication rather than a traditional command-line configuration workflow.
MS320-48LP-HW is discontinued, and Cisco support ended March 31, 2024. The family end-of-sale milestone was March 31, 2017, but this model had already sold out by March 6, 2017. New sealed condition does not restart the manufacturer's lifecycle or restore Cisco support entitlement for this hardware.
ORM offers MS320-48LP-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. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with support on March 31, 2024.
LIC-MS320-48LP-3YR is a three-year cloud-management subscription for MS320-48LP-HW, and LIC-MS320-48LP-5YR provides a five-year term for the same hardware. Specify the required entitlement separately from the hardware condition. A subscription purchase does not change the switch's March 31, 2024 end-of-support milestone or reinstate its manufacturer hardware coverage.
MS320-48LP-HW was named as the replacement for MS42P-HW, whose end-of-sale date was April 26, 2014. The replacement recommendation was subsequently updated after the MS320 itself became discontinued. For an installed-base replacement order, retain the complete part number rather than treating the historical recommendation as evidence of current Cisco support.
The Meraki MS320 48-port LP configuration provides a shared 370W PoE budget across 48 powered ports, with 30W supported per PoE+ port. Every powered port cannot draw its maximum simultaneously: 48 × 30W equals 1440W. Size the aggregate endpoint demand rather than multiplying the individual port rating into an available budget.
MS320-48LP-HW supports MA-SFP-10GB-SR for 10G multimode fiber and MA-SFP-10GB-LR for 10G single-mode fiber through its four built-in SFP+ uplinks. MA-CBL-TA-1M provides a 1 m direct-attach option. Select the media against the far-end interface and cable plant; these accessories are not removable port-expansion cards.
No, the Meraki MS320 cannot run OSPFv2 and warm spare gateway redundancy concurrently. Static routing, OSPFv2, DHCP relay, and DHCP server functions are available, but the gateway design must respect that operating constraint. Automatic DHCP failover belongs to warm spare operation, so specify routing and address-service behavior together.
MA-PWR-640WAC ships with MS320-48LP-HW, and a second MA-PWR-640WAC is an optional redundant internal supply. The standard hardware does not include two populated supplies. Specify the second MA-PWR-640WAC when redundant power is required, and keep the 370W endpoint budget separate from the supply's 640W rating.
No, the Meraki MS320 supports virtual stacking for centralized port management rather than physical switch stacking. The cloud interface can group ports across switches without a dedicated stack connection. Link aggregation supports eight ports per aggregate, but that Ethernet function does not convert separate MS320 units into one hardware stack.
MS320-48LP-HW provides a 370W PoE budget, whereas MS320-48FP-HW provides 740W. Both models are discontinued, with Cisco support ended March 31, 2024. The LP configuration matches an existing lower-budget powered deployment; the FP configuration matches an installed deployment requiring its larger aggregate endpoint allocation rather than a currently supported refresh.
MS320-48LP-HW ships with MA-PWR-640WAC, while MS320-48-HW ships with MA-PWR-250WAC. Each model accepts its corresponding optional redundant supply. Both are discontinued, so this distinction matters for installed-base hardware and supply matching: powered LP orders use MA-PWR-640WAC, while data-only 48-port orders use MA-PWR-250WAC rather than the larger supply by default.
MS320-48LP-HW has passed its March 31, 2024 Cisco support deadline, while C9300L-48P-4X-M is the onward migration target following the discontinued MS250-48LP-HW replacement. The MS320 serves exact-match legacy hardware requirements; the Catalyst model belongs on a refresh evaluation rather than an order intended to preserve the original MS320 configuration unchanged.
