OverviewÂ
The Cisco Meraki 425 series extends cloud management across the aggregation layer for medium-size networks with our 10/40G fibre aggregation switches. As with our access layer switches, our aggregation switches are built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility, traditionally found in enterprise-class switches.
Available in 2 different port densities, 16 or 32 x 10G SFP+, both of which include 2 × 40G QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports which are capable of providing up to 160Gbps stacking bandwidth to support campus environments.

TroubleshootingÂ
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 WHITEÂ
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.
