How to install Meraki MS225-24P
- Plan your deployment in advance: identify the rack location, determine the stacking strategy with other Meraki MS225 switches, and map out uplink connections to your core network or data center.
- Rack mounting: install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included rack ears if you have chosen a rack-based deployment. Provide adequate ventilation to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
- Connect power: install the optional Cisco RPS-2300 remote power supply if uptime reliability is a priority, or connect to your existing power distribution as appropriate for your site.
- Network cabling: connect the 10G SFP+ uplinks to the core or distribution switches, and attach downstream devices to the access ports. Route cables neatly to minimize interference and maximize airflow.
- Adopt and configure in Meraki Dashboard: power on the switch and adopt it through the Meraki Cloud. Apply baseline configurations, VLANs, and access control policies, then enable any port-based settings, PoE where applicable, and security rules to align with your network requirements.
- Verify operation and monitor: log in to the Meraki Dashboard to confirm device status, firmware version, and link uptime. Use real-time analytics and device maps to verify connectivity, performance, and policy enforcement across your branch network.
