For small to medium-sized networks, the Cisco Meraki MS120-24-HW cloud-managed Layer 2 switch is engineered to deliver dependable connection and smooth control. It has four dedicated SFP uplink ports for increased network scalability and growth, in addition to 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast device communication. The MS120-24-HW, like previous Meraki switches, is integrated with the Meraki cloud dashboard to provide centralized monitoring, setup, and visibility—all without requiring complicated on-site management tools. This model is perfect for branch offices, retail stores, and enterprise deployments as it supports energy-efficient networking using IEEE 802.3az standards. It does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet), but it does have features like Layer 2 protocols, 802.1X authentication, and port security that provide easy scalability and network security. The switch is a component of the Meraki ecosystem, which offers features that simplify network management and cut down on administrative overhead, as well as cloud-based upgrades.
