Product Overview 

The Cisco Meraki MS130-24-HW is a cloud-managed Layer 2 switch built to deliver enterprise-class access switching with simplicity and performance. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 1G SFP uplinks, designed to serve branch offices, small businesses, and distributed enterprise networks. Managed entirely through the Meraki cloud, it provides centralized control, visibility, and configuration without requiring traditional on-site hardware controllers.

With a non-blocking switching capacity of 56 Gbps, the MS130-24 supports high-throughput applications and efficient traffic handling. It delivers Layer 2 functionality, including 802.1X port security, VLAN support, DHCP snooping, and multicast filtering. Its fanless, compact form factor ensures quiet operation and makes it suitable for noise-sensitive deployments such as retail environments or classrooms.

The switch is easy to install and manage using the Meraki Dashboard. This interface gives IT teams full visibility into device status, performance metrics, and real-time alerts. Zero-touch provisioning, remote troubleshooting tools, and automated firmware updates reduce administrative overhead and help maintain network uptime.

Built for long-term reliability, the MS130-24-HW combines intelligent performance with trusted Meraki support and automatic cloud-driven improvements. It integrates seamlessly with the full Meraki ecosystem, providing a solid foundation for a secure, scalable network.
