Cisco Meraki Switch

Cisco Meraki Switch products are provided by Cisco. Cisco Networking is the global market leader in enterprise network solutions. This makes Cisco Meraki switching ideal for organisations in the UK needing fast and reliable infrastructure.

Cisco Meraki Switches are a great way to connect other Cisco Meraki devices such as Meraki Access Points and Meraki Cameras. A Meraki Layer 3 switch is also a faster way to route traffic internally than loading that task onto your Meraki Firewall.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss the benefits of Meraki switches - or if you would like to compare Aruba vs Meraki switches - Cisco Meraki switches vs Catalyst - or Cisco vs Meraki switches in general. We can help you validate your design to ensure it meets the power requirements of modern WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 standards.

Meraki Switch License

Meraki Switch License benefits include the following cloud network management features: Firmware and software updates, Network-wide visibility and control, and 24/7 enterprise support.

Unlike other vendors that charge for software upgrades, your Meraki license ensures your hardware stays future-proof with automatic feature updates. You can choose between Co-Termination licensing or Per-Device licensing depending on your accounting preference.

While Meraki hardware provides the physical foundation, your switch estate is also a critical enforcement point for your broader Cyber Security strategy. Features like Adaptive Policy and automated port-security allow you to ringfence sensitive data at the hardware level. Integrating your switches with a managed security service ensures that your local network remains protected against internal lateral movement and unauthorized device access.

Meraki Switch License Types: Enterprise vs Advanced

When purchasing a Cisco Meraki switch, you must select a license tier. The Meraki Enterprise License covers 95% of use cases, including full Layer 3 routing (OSPF), VLANs, and ACLs. It is the standard choice for almost all UK business and education deployments.

The Meraki Advanced License is required only for complex environments that use Adaptive Policy (Security Group Tags / SGTs) for granular segmentation, or for full NetFlow integration with Cisco ISE. Note that mixing license types in a single organisation is not supported; you must be either entirely Enterprise or entirely Advanced.

Cisco Meraki Co-Termination vs. Meraki Subscription Licensing

Cisco Meraki offers two distinct licensing structures to suit different operational needs. The Co-Termination (Co-Term) model remains a popular choice for organisations that prefer a single, unified renewal date across their entire network. By automatically averaging the remaining time of all switch, wireless, and security licenses, Co-Term simplifies procurement into one annual or multi-year event.

Conversely, the Cisco Meraki Subscription model offers 1-to-1 license portability and fixed end dates. This is particularly advantageous for UK businesses performing phased hardware refreshes—such as migrating from MS225 units to the newer MS150 or Catalyst 9300-M series—as it allows for granular control over specific switch groups without impacting the rest of the estate.

Feature Co-Termination Model (Co-Term) Meraki Subscription Model
Renewal Date Single shared date for the whole Org Fixed dates per individual subscription
Renewal Precision Calculated average across all licenses Exact renewal for specific switch assets
Hardware Refresh Prorated credit applied to Org date Seamless license portability (Direct)
License Additions Recalculates whole Org end-date Coexists as independent subscriptions
Amber Mode N/A (Network restriction after grace) Ensures continued traffic flow (Amber)
Best Use Case Stable stacks & simplified billing Dynamic UK Enterprise deployments

Meraki Switches: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate PoE license for Meraki MS130 or MS150 switches?

No. The MS130 and MS150 series use consolidated licensing. A single license SKU covers Data, PoE, and Multi-Gigabit hardware variants, simplifying your renewal process compared to legacy hardware models.

What is the replacement for Meraki MS120 and MS210 switches?

The MS130 series is the modern replacement for MS120/MS125 hardware, while the MS150 series replaces the retired MS210 and MS225 product lines. Both offer superior PoE budgets and mGig port options.

What happens if my Meraki switch license expires?

Meraki offers a 30-day grace period. If the license is not renewed, the device enters "Amber Mode." While the switch generally continues to pass traffic, you lose all management capabilities, visibility, and the ability to make configuration changes.
