Meraki MS120-48LP Managed Switch

The Meraki MS120-48LP is a managed Gigabit switch designed for rack or desktop deployment. It provides forty-eight 10/100/1000Base-T ports and four 1000Base-X uplinks for network expansion. Layer 2 management features allow configuration and monitoring through the Meraki cloud platform. The 1U form factor fits standard racks and includes a mounting screw kit.

Suits managed access deployments

This switch suits administrators who need cloud-managed Layer 2 switching with forty-eight copper ports and fiber uplinks. It fits environments that require rack-mount or desktop flexibility with a single management pane. Buyers needing Layer 3 routing, Power over Ethernet, or higher port speeds should evaluate other models. The fixed configuration does not support modular expansion beyond the included uplinks.

Forty-eight Gigabit copper ports

The primary specification is the forty-eight 10/100/1000Base-T ports combined with four Gigabit SFP uplinks. This port count and speed mix defines the switch capacity for access-layer connectivity. The 9.63 lb weight and 1U height determine rack space and handling requirements. Confirm that the port density and uplink type match the network design before purchase.

Questions about this item

Do I need a Meraki cloud licence and an internet connection before the MS120-48LP will pass traffic?

Yes — the switch is managed exclusively through the Meraki Dashboard, so an active licence and internet access are required for configuration and ongoing operation.

Can the four 1000Base-X uplink ports on the MS120-48LP connect to older 100 Mbps fibre modules?

The uplinks operate at 1000 Mbps; they will not negotiate down to 100 Mbps, so legacy 100 Mbps SFP modules cannot be used.

How do I confirm the MS120-48LP is functioning correctly after racking and cabling it?

In the Meraki Dashboard the switch appears “Online” with a green status indicator, and each connected port shows link speed and activity.
