In terms of deployment, how do Meraki MS switches support scalability?

Question

Options

• AThey only support up to 48 ports
• BThey cannot be managed remotely
• CThey function only in Layer 2
• DThey are stackable

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  91% (29)

Explanation

Meraki MS switches support scalability through stacking, which allows multiple physical switches to be combined and managed as a single logical unit - meaning you can expand port capacity and redundancy without redesigning your network. As your deployment grows, you simply add more switches to the stack rather than replacing existing hardware.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because Meraki MS switches come in various port configurations (8, 24, 48, and beyond), and stacking multiplies that capacity further.
• B is wrong because remote management via the Meraki cloud dashboard is actually one of the platform's defining features.
• C is wrong because Meraki MS switches support both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality (routing, VLANs, OSPF, etc.).

Memory tip: Think of stacking like stacking pancakes - each new switch (pancake) you add sits on top and becomes part of one unified whole. "Stack = Scale" is the key association for exam day.
