uplinks. MS125-48 / MS125-48LP / MS125-48FP — 48x Gigabit RJ45, 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks,
PoE+ on LP and FP models. Every model includes a dedicated RJ45 management port.
Power over Ethernet
MS125-24P-HW: 370W PoE+ budget. MS125-48LP-HW: 370W PoE+
budget. MS125-48FP-HW: 740W PoE+ budget. Dynamic power allocation via CDP/LLDP powers access points, IP phones, and cameras without oversubscribing the switch.
Managed entirely through the Meraki dashboard — no CLI
required. Virtual Stacking lets you configure hundreds of switch ports as one logical stack. Requires an active Meraki switch license (co-termination or per-device) for cloud management, feature updates, and support. Includes lifetime hardware warranty with next-business-day advance replacement.
Not Sure Which MS125 Model Fits Your Site?
Compare port counts, PoE budgets, and licensing options across the full MS125 lineup to find the right
match for your branch or campus closet.
The MS125 series adds 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks and higher switching capacity (128-176
Gbps) compared to the MS120's Gigabit SFP uplinks, making the MS125 a better fit for sites that need
faster uplinks to core/aggregation switches or heavier east-west traffic.
No. The MS125 series is a Layer 2 access switch. For inter-VLAN routing and Layer 3
features at the access layer, look at the Meraki MS225 or MS250/MS350 series instead.
Yes. Every MS125 switch requires an active Meraki license (co-termination or
per-device licensing) to be added to the dashboard, receive firmware updates, and access cloud
management and support.
PoE+ budget varies by model: the MS125-24P and MS125-48LP each provide 370W, while
the MS125-48FP provides up to 740W, enough to power access points, IP phones, and PoE+ cameras across
a full 48-port closet.
The MS125 uses Meraki's Virtual Stacking, which lets you manage and configure
multiple switches as a single logical stack from the dashboard — without physical stacking cables —
simplifying VLAN and port policy changes across many switches at once.
