This 1U, rack-mountable switch integrates seamlessly into mid-sized campuses and multi-site branches, providing centralized visibility, policy-based automation, and scalable Layer 3 routing that helps you segment networks, optimize traffic, and enforce security policies from a single pane of glass. Its 1000Base-X uplink capability ensures a high-speed backbone to your core network, while efficient power management and a comprehensive suite of Meraki cloud-management features reduce on-site maintenance and accelerate provisioning. Whether you’re upgrading an aging PoE infrastructure or building a new campus network, the MS350-24P delivers reliability, security, and simplicity in one compact, future-ready package.

• Cloud-managed efficiency and visibility: Manage every aspect of your network from the Meraki Dashboard. Real-time monitoring, centralized policy enforcement, automated firmware updates, and zero-touch provisioning empower IT teams to deploy, scale, and troubleshoot across multiple sites with minimal on-site visits. The cloud-first approach provides centralized analytics, application visibility, and granular control over users, devices, and traffic, all from a single, intuitive interface.
• Powerful PoE capabilities for modern deployments: The switch includes a robust 370 W PoE budget to power a variety of PoE devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points. This generous budget enables flexible, scalable deployments without requiring separate power infrastructure. PoE scheduling and prioritization help you optimize energy use and ensure critical devices receive the necessary power during peak periods.
• Layer 3 routing for scalable campus networks: Beyond basic switching, the MS350-24P supports Layer 3 routing to enable inter-VLAN communication, efficient traffic routing, and better network segmentation. This capability simplifies complex campus or multi-building deployments by consolidating routing decisions at the distribution layer, reducing latency and improving overall performance for business-critical applications.
• High-performance uplinks and reliable design: With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the switch delivers ample internal bandwidth for end devices while offering flexible uplink options via 1000Base-X fiber connectivity. The rack-mountable 1U chassis is designed for dense data centers and network closets, and the unit’s power profile—466 W maximum consumption—reflects capacity for sustained operation in busy environments, reserves headroom for peak activity, and supports a broad mix of devices without overheating or throttling.
• Scalable, cloud-driven deployment for modern IT teams: The Meraki MS350-24P is built for growth, multi-site management, and policy-driven automation. Its cloud-centric management model makes onboarding new sites straightforward, enforces uniform security and access policies across locations, and enables consistent experiences for users and devices. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations moving toward centralized, software-defined networking with predictable operations and lower total cost of ownership.
