Meraki MS450-12

Meraki MS450-12 – 40G fiber aggregation switch with 100G uplinks

Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build campus networks:

• Automatic email alerts from power loss, downtime, or configura

-tion changes

• Powerful remote diagnostic tools such as packet capture to help isolate and troubleshoot network issues

• Role-based administration

• Firmware upgrades and enhancements from the Meraki cloud

• Virtual Stacking enables switch port configuration changes on the dashboard interface without the need to physically stack switches

• Incredible network transparency with application, operating sys

-tem, client, and hostname visibility

• Zero-touch provisioning for rapid deployment across sites

Product Highlights

• Connect up to 12 MS355s for high-bandwidth aggregration layer switching

• Connect to core or data center switches with 2 x 100G QSFP28 uplinks

• Stack up to eight switches for high-availability deployments

• Dual stacking interfaces with up to 400 Gbps of band

-width

• Non-blocking switch backplane with up to 1.36 Tbps of switching capacity

• Support for field replaceable, redundant power supplies

• Integrated mounting brackets for rack mounting

• Lifetime hardware warranty and advanced replacement at no additional cost

Meraki switches feature high-end hardware features, including:

• Compact, 1RU design for space-constrained environments
• Terabit performance with non-blocking architecture
• Field-replaceable, hot-swappable power supplies/fans
