Condition: NEW — Brand new, factory-sealed unit. Manufacturer Part #: MS425-16-HW
Cisco Meraki MS425-16 16-Port 10G SFP+ Aggregation Switch — 480 Gbps Switching Capacity, Dual Hot-Swap PSU, 1U Rack
The Meraki MS425-16 is a cloud-managed 10 Gigabit fiber aggregation switch purpose-built for medium-sized enterprise and campus networks. Delivering 480 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity across 16 × 10G SFP+ ports and 2 × 40G QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports, it provides a high-density aggregation tier without the complexity of traditional CLI management. Fully managed through the Meraki Dashboard, the MS425-16 supports Layer 3 routing including OSPF, front-port 160 Gbps physical stacking, and hot-swappable dual power supplies and fans for maximum availability. A dedicated RJ45 out-of-band management port ensures continued access even if the data plane is unavailable.
