Cisco MS225-24P-HW End of Life & End of Support

Cisco Meraki MS225-24P L2 Stackable Cloud Managed 24-Port GigE 370W PoE Switch

Supported through Apr 30, 2031

The MS225-24P was Meraki's 10-gig-uplink stackable access switch and a common replacement target for retired MS220 hardware, but it is now itself end-of-sale as of April 30, 2026, with support through April 30, 2031. Cisco's migration path points to the MS150-24P with 10GbE uplinks in the new MS150 series. This is the current pick for stackable, multigigabit-uplink access closets.
