The Cisco Meraki MS130-12X-HW is a cloud managed Layer 2 access switch from the MS130 compact series, built for branch and campus deployments. It provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 additional 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet mGig ports, giving it a full 12 ports of access connectivity. Two 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports connect the switch to the network core or distribution layer at high speed. The switch delivers up to 240W of 802.3bt PoE+, making it well suited for powering Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points that need both bandwidth and power. Management runs entirely through the Meraki cloud dashboard, giving administrators zero touch provisioning and centralized visibility across every site. The switch supports virtual stacking, letting thousands of ports across multiple locations be managed as a single logical group from one dashboard. It is hardware ready for Meraki Adaptive Policy, unlocking future segmentation capability with a firmware upgrade and Advanced license. An active Meraki license is required to activate and manage the switch on the dashboard.
