Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes — all Cisco Meraki hardware, including the MS120-8FP, requires an active Cisco Meraki Dashboard cloud license to function. Without a valid license, the switch will not operate. The license is NOT included with this hardware listing and must be purchased separately from Cisco or an authorized Meraki reseller. WhaleyComm can help guide you to the correct license SKU for your needs.
The MS120-8FP has a total PoE budget of 124W shared across all eight 1G RJ45 ports, each supporting IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) at up to 30W per port. The actual number of devices you can power simultaneously depends on the wattage draw of each connected device — for example, powering eight devices at 15W each would total 120W, staying within the budget.
WhaleyComm offers the MS120-8FP in both new and certified refurbished condition. All refurbished units are thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and functionally tested by our technical team to ensure they meet original manufacturer performance standards. Each unit ships with a WhaleyComm Certificate of Testing and is covered by the WhaleyComm Lifetime Warranty.
The MS120-8FP can connect to non-Meraki network devices via its standard 1G RJ45 and SFP ports for basic Layer 2 connectivity. However, advanced features such as unified dashboard visibility, cross-device policies, and seamless integration are optimized when used within a full Cisco Meraki ecosystem including Meraki MX, MR, and other MS series products.
