Product Overview

The Cisco Meraki MS450-12 is a top-tier cloud-managed Layer 3 switch engineered for high-throughput networking environments and scalable aggregations. It features 12 x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ ports and 2 x 100 Gigabit QSFP28 uplinks, supporting massive data transfer with a switching capacity of 1.36 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 654.76 Mpps. Designed for rack-mount deployments, the unit includes an internal, hot-plug 250W power supply with optional redundancy and operates within a 1U enclosure with front-to-back airflow for optimal thermal management.

Tailored for enterprise IT infrastructures, the MS450 supports advanced routing protocols such as VRRP, RSTP, and STP, and encompasses a comprehensive suite of Layer 2/3 features including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, DHCP relay, QoS, and voice VLAN support. Secure network access is ensured through features like 802.1x authentication, ACLs, and RADIUS-based management. Remote configuration and monitoring are enabled through SNMP, and the device supports a MAC address table of up to 64K entries and jumbo frames up to 9578 bytes for efficient traffic handling.

The switch is designed for long-term deployments, offering a robust MTBF of 436,776 hours and a limited lifetime warranty with next-business-day hardware replacement. It complies with multiple global standards including IEEE and RoHS, and is TAA compliant. This hardware solution is an excellent fit for IT teams seeking scalable, reliable, and secure aggregation switching with centralized cloud-based management.
