MS150 Datasheet
Overview
Cisco Meraki MS150 stackable switches provide Layer 2 access switching, ideal for branch and campus deployments. The MS150 series features a variety of options designed to meet the diverse needs of branch and campus deployments.
With 12 different models, the MS150 offers a combination of 1Gig and mGig ports supporting up to 740W of power, SFP+ uplinks, and backplane stacking. This line enables scalability to support the growing wired and wireless infrastructure deployments.

Configuration
The basic initial configuration of the MS150 is just as simple as any other model of MS switch. The links below provide additional information and instructions relating to each step in getting the device setup and configured for the first time.
- Claim the device to an Organization on the Meraki Dashboard
- If a Dashboard Organization does not yet exist, Create one
- Add the device to a Dashboard Network
- If a Network does not yet exist, Create one first
- Physically connect the device to the local network
- Connect one of the RJ45 or SFP/SFP+ ports to existing infrastructure to provide a temporary uplink
- Power on the device and let it check in to the Dashboard
- If necessary, configure a Static IP through the Local Status Page to allow it to communicate with the Meraki Dashboard.
- Allow the device to complete check-in and perform any initial firmware upgrades
- Finish configuring the device from the Meraki Dashboard

Common Troubleshooting
My device is connected to the network but not checking in to the Meraki cloud or shows a solid Orange LED
Confirm that the device is powered on and has a valid IP address that is able to access the Internet. Use the Local Status Page to get more information about the connectivity status of the device such as if it can successfully reach the Local Gateway, Internet, and/or Meraki Cloud servers. If necessary, contact Meraki Support for additional assistance.
My Status LED is blinking WHITE
A blinking WHITE Status LED indicates that the device is in contact with the Dashboard Cloud servers and is performing a firmware update. This can sometimes take 20-45 minutes or more to complete depending on hardware and other factors.
My Status LED is blinking ORANGE
The device is not able to successfully communicate with the Dashboard Cloud servers or there may be a hardware issue with the device. Check the Local Status Page of the device to confirm the status and reach out to Meraki Support for further troubleshooting.
Event Log
The most common Event Log messages and their meaning are listed below.
Port STP change
Indicates the STP state of the port has changed, lists the relevant port number, previous, and new states. Typically accompanied by a 'Port status change' event.
Port status change
Indicates the link state of the port has changed, lists the relevant port number, old, and new state. Always accompanied by a 'Port STP change' event.
SFP module inserted/removed
Indicates that an SFP module was either inserted or removed, includes SFP module information for inserted events and always lists the relevant port number.
Common Stacking Alerts
View our dedicated Switch Stacking document for more detailed information about configuring a Switch Stack and common issues.
Ensure all stack members are configured on dashboard, online and connected via their stacking ports.
Note: If connected and configured correctly, the alert will disappear within up to 1 hour. If the error persists, please contact Cisco Meraki Technical Support for further troubleshooting.
This switch's current stack members differ from the dashboard configuration.
This error can occur in the following scenarios:
- Stack members are configured on dashboard, but not all members are connected via their stacking ports.
- A stack member has failed or is powered off.
This switch is not connected to a stack.
This error can occur in the following scenarios:
- The switch is configured on dashboard as a stack member, but is not connected to a stack.
This switch does not have a stack configuration.
This error can occur in the following scenarios:
- The switch is physically connected as a stack, but not configured on dashboard as a stack member.
Licensing
MS150 license structure includes two feature tiers: Enterprise and Advanced. The Enterprise license is available in 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 year terms. The Advanced License is available in the same terms, except for 10 years. All MS150s in an organization must have Enterprise or Advanced licenses - they cannot be mixed.

In the Co-term licensing model (most existing Organizations), an Organization must either have all MS130 Enterprise or all MS130 Advanced licenses - they cannot be mixed. Additonally, a co-term organization cannot mix enterprise and advanced licenses on any switches that have both enterprise and advanced licenses.
For example, if an organization has existing MS390/C9300/MS150s with enterprise licenses, they cannot add MS130's with advanced licenses in that organization - they must be added with enterprise licenses.
If the organization has existing MS390/C9300/MS150s with advanced licenses, they cannot add MS130's with enterprise licenses in that organization - they must be added with advanced licenses.
In the Per-device licensing model, a mix of Enterprise and Advanced can be added to a single Organization, but certain features may require all devices in a Organization to have Advanced licenses, e.g. Adaptive Policy.
MS150 Advanced License only provides Adaptive policy as an additional feature.
For more information about the differences between the Advanced and Enterprise licenses see the below links:
The MS150 is also available as Subscription Licensing:
