Integrated Remote, Live Tools
Converged Voice, Video and Data Environments
The Meraki switch family is designed to unify data, voice, and video 
onto a single IP backbone. All Meraki switches support rich quality-
of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video 
traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on 
every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization. 
 
PoE models provide 15.4 watts of power per port for VoIP telephones, 
IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP 
devices. The Meraki MS switches also support standards-based 25.5 
watt (30 watt max per port) IEEE 802.3at for powering networked 
devices like multiple radio IEEE 802.11n APs and video phones 
that may require more power than available with IEEE 802.3af. 
In addition, using LLDP, PoE power is intelligently budgeted to 
maximize the number of PoE clients supported.
To ease deployment, Meraki switches support the industry-
standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), enabling switches to 
automatically discover Ethernet-enabled devices, determine their 
power requirements and join the correct virtual  
LAN (VLAN).
Meraki’s Unified Software Architecture
Meraki switches run the same Meraki operating system used by 
Meraki’s firewalls and wireless LAN products. The use of a common 
operating system allows Meraki to deliver a consistent experience 
across all product lines.
