Description
Condition: NEW — Brand new, factory-sealed unit. Manufacturer Part #: MS425-32-HW
Cisco Meraki MS425-32 32-Port 10G SFP+ Aggregation Switch — 800 Gbps Switching Capacity, Dual Hot-Swap PSU, 1U Rack
The Meraki MS425-32 delivers the highest port density in the MS425 series, offering 32 × 10G SFP+ fiber ports and 2 × 40G QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports in a compact 1U chassis with 800 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity. Like all Meraki switches, it is fully managed through the cloud-based Meraki Dashboard with zero-touch provisioning, eliminating the need for complex CLI configuration. The MS425-32 supports full Layer 3 routing including OSPF, front-port 160 Gbps physical stacking, and hot-swappable dual power supplies and fans making it well suited for high-availability aggregation deployments in campus or enterprise core environments.

Best Used For
The MS425-32 is the right choice for campus aggregation deployments where higher port density is needed to consolidate traffic from a large number of access-layer switches. It performs particularly well in high-bandwidth enterprise environments where 10G uplinks to the access layer and 40G connectivity to core infrastructure are required under unified Meraki cloud management.
