Cisco Meraki MS420 Switches - Refurbished, Used, New

Best Selling

Cisco Meraki MS420 switches are 10G SFP+ aggregation switches managed from the Meraki Dashboard. The MS420-24 gives you 24 SFP+ ports for collapsing access switches, servers and storage onto a cloud-managed distribution layer, with the same Dashboard topology, alerting and remote packet capture that Meraki access switches use. NetworkTigers sells the MS420-24-HW switch, PWR-MS420-400AC-R power supplies and FAN-MS420-R fan modules refurbished, used and new, and every switch, power supply and fan is tested before it ships. MS420 switches ship unclaimed, so they register to your own Dashboard organization, and each listing states whether the unit is Registrable / Unclaimed or Local Management Only.

Which MS420 parts do I need?

Count the 10G links you need to terminate: access switch uplinks, servers, storage and the links to your core. The MS420-24 covers 24 of them on SFP+, so plan transceivers or direct attach cables for each port. Decide how many switches you want in the stack; two give you dual-homed uplinks from every access switch, which is the usual reason to choose an aggregation switch over a larger access model. Then fill the power and fan slots. Power supplies and fans are sold separately so you can choose single or dual power, and each listing shows the airflow direction, which must match the other modules in the chassis and your rack's hot and cold aisles. Add a spare PWR-MS420-400AC-R and FAN-MS420-R if the switch sits in a remote closet. Check the listing for what is included with the switch before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Does a used MS420 switch work with current Meraki Dashboard features?
Yes. Once claimed into your organization the MS420 appears in the Dashboard like any other MS switch, pulls its configuration from the cloud, and takes firmware updates on the schedule you set. NetworkTigers keeps testing MS420 units to confirm they claim and run, so the units you receive are working, not shelf stock.

Can an MS420 stack with an MS425 or MS410?
No. Meraki switches stack only within their own model family. An MS420 stacks with other MS420 switches, so buy matching units when you plan a stack.

What do I need besides the switch to claim it?
The serial number from the listing or the chassis label, a Dashboard organization of your own, and a Meraki license, which is sold separately. The listing states whether the switch is Registrable / Unclaimed or Local Management Only.
