MS120-8-HW Overview
Cisco Meraki MS120-8 compact switches provide Layer 2 access switching in a fanless, compact form factor. All models include 1GbE SFP ports for fiber uplink, integrated mounting brackets, and a Kensington security slot, making them ideal for rapid and secure deployment to branch location. Cisco Meraki switches are built from the ground-up to be easily managed without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches. Meraki switches are managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than through command line. To set up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there’s no need for complicated configuration files or even direct physical access to the switch. Meraki’s centralized management gives administrators deep visibility into the network and how it’s used. For example, you can quickly see which switches are near capacity across hundreds of sites, or find all configuration changes made by a member of the team with instant search.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary performance capabilities of the Cisco Meraki MS120-8 switch? +
The MS120-8 is a high-performance Layer 2 access switch featuring 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It provides wire-speed switching capacity, ensuring non-blocking performance for your edge network devices. Designed for branch deployments, it delivers reliable connectivity for workstations, printers, and other connected hardware, maintaining consistent throughput across all ports while operating under the intuitive Meraki cloud-management interface.
Does the Cisco Meraki MS120-8 support VLAN tagging and trunking? +
Yes, this managed switch fully supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing you to segment your network traffic efficiently. You can configure trunk ports to carry multiple VLANs across your infrastructure, providing the flexibility needed for secure network isolation and broadcast domain management. These configurations are easily managed through the central Meraki dashboard, streamlining deployment across multiple branch locations.
How do I manage and configure the MS120-8-HW? +
The MS120-8 is managed exclusively through the Meraki cloud-based dashboard. This centralized platform allows you to monitor port status, configure VLANs, and perform firmware updates from anywhere with internet access. By eliminating the need for local command-line interface management, it significantly simplifies deployment and ongoing operations for IT teams handling multiple remote sites simultaneously.
Can the Cisco Meraki MS120-8 be deployed in wall-mounted or small office environments? +
Absolutely. The MS120-8 features a compact, fanless design that makes it ideal for quiet environments like branch offices, retail spaces, or small workgroups. Its form factor allows for discreet placement, including wall mounting, ensuring that it provides robust enterprise-grade switching without occupying valuable rack space or creating audible noise in professional workspaces.
What is the primary use case for this Layer 2 switch? +
This switch is purpose-built for branch and campus access layer connectivity. It excels in environments requiring reliable, managed Gigabit access for end-user devices. Because it operates at Layer 2, it is perfectly suited for expanding network ports at the edge while integrating seamlessly into an existing Meraki-managed network architecture, providing unified visibility and control over your hardware.
Are there any uplink ports available on the MS120-8? +
Yes, the device includes SFP uplink ports in addition to its Gigabit Ethernet ports. These small form-factor pluggable slots allow for flexible fiber or copper connectivity to your core network or distribution layer. By utilizing these uplinks, you can extend your network reach and achieve higher bandwidth connections to the rest of your enterprise infrastructure.
What are the power requirements for the Cisco Meraki MS120-8? +
The MS120-8 is designed for standard power operation in small-scale deployments. As a non-PoE model, it focuses on efficient, low-power consumption for data-only connectivity. You simply connect the included power supply to a standard wall outlet. Its energy-efficient design helps reduce overall power consumption in your branch office IT closet while maintaining high operational uptime.
How does the MS120-8 ensure network reliability and security? +
Security is maintained through features like 802.1X port-based authentication, which ensures only authorized devices connect to your network. Reliability is further enhanced by the Meraki dashboard, which provides proactive alerts and detailed event logs if connectivity issues arise. This combination of hardware security and intelligent monitoring helps minimize downtime and protect your network perimeter from unauthorized access at the port level.
