Meraki MS210-24 Cloud Managed Gigabit Switch — 3-Year Enterprise License & Enterprise Support

The Cisco Meraki MS210-24 represents a modern, cloud-managed solution designed to simplify network operations while delivering robust performance for small to mid-size businesses. This product combines a 24-port Gigabit switch with a 3-year Enterprise License and Enterprise Support, all bundled to empower IT teams with centralized visibility, streamlined provisioning, and policy-based control across the network. Built on the Meraki Dashboard, it enables zero-touch deployment, real-time health monitoring, and scalable management from anywhere, making it an ideal foundation for branch offices, retail locations, education facilities, and distributed business environments.

With the MS210-24, you gain a cloud-native networking experience that minimizes on-site configuration and eliminates complex command-line management. Its cloud-first design means that firmware updates, security patches, and feature enhancements are delivered through the Meraki cloud, ensuring your network stays current with the latest capabilities without manual maintenance. The included 3-year Enterprise License provides ongoing access to Meraki’s cloud management features, centralized analytics, and policy controls, while 3 years of Enterprise Support delivers direct assistance from Cisco Meraki experts when you need it. This combination supports proactive network optimization, faster issue resolution, and a smoother IT workflow overall.

Performance and reliability are at the core of the MS210-24. It is built to handle everyday campus, retail, and office network loads with consistent, predictable throughput. The switch features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed device connections and smooth access for desktops, printers, IP cameras, and wireless access points. The cloud-managed architecture simplifies segmentation and security, enabling you to enforce per-port policies, VLANs, and access controls with a few clicks. Centralized telemetry and event logging help IT teams spot trends, plan capacity, and respond quickly to changing network conditions. In addition, Meraki’s Auto-VLAN and auto-merge capabilities streamline the onboarding of new devices and new locations, reducing deployment time and avoiding configuration drift across sites.

Security-conscious organizations benefit from Meraki’s approach to control and visibility. The MS210-24 supports granular per-port configuration, flexible VLAN tagging, and policy-based access control to ensure devices are placed on the correct network segments. Layer 2 features such as spanning-tree, link aggregation, and quality of service (QoS) support help protect network reliability and ensure critical applications get the bandwidth and priority they require. The cloud-based management plane provides role-based access control so IT staff can assign appropriate permissions to administrators, technicians, and guests, improving governance and reducing the risk of misconfigurations. Coupled with ongoing firmware updates delivered via the Meraki cloud, the MS210-24 remains resilient against evolving security threats and network challenges.

Ease of use is another standout attribute. Meraki dashboards emphasize a user-friendly interface that makes advanced networking concepts approachable even for teams without deep command-line expertise. The MS210-24 is designed for easy adoption through zero-touch provisioning, which accelerates site rollouts and ensures consistency across multiple locations. The 3-year license period ensures you continue to receive management features and support as your network grows, so you can add devices, expand deployments, and optimize configurations without re-architecting licensing or purchasing new software subscriptions. In short, the MS210-24 is a practical, scalable, and cost-efficient centerpiece for cloud-managed networking that aligns with modern IT strategies and operational needs.

Whether you are updating an existing Meraki environment or building a new cloud-managed network, the MS210-24 provides a balance of performance, simplicity, and centralized control. It supports essential business requirements such as reliable uplink connectivity, flexible network segmentation, and proactive management, all accessible through the familiar Meraki Dashboard. The combination of hardware foundation, cloud-managed features, and a three-year license horizon makes it a compelling choice for organizations seeking predictable budgets, simplified operations, and scalable growth in their network infrastructure.
