Meraki vs Arista: High-End Switches Up Close

Morning boys and girls! I’m in the workshop today with two very different beasts — a Meraki MS250-48FP and an Arista DCS-7280SR-48C6. Now, the real challenge with Meraki switches isn’t fixing them — it’s managing their serial numbers. One wrong move and you could find yourself locked out of the Cisco Dashboard faster than you can say “claimed!” That’s why careful handover is crucial — luckily, we’ve got that down to an art form. But here’s the twist: even when you’ve got a good Meraki, you’ve still got to watch the region. You can’t sell US serials into the EU without upsetting the compliance gods, and apparently, they’re not the forgiving type. Honestly, life was so much simpler when a switch was just a switch! Sitting next to the Meraki is its rather flash cousin, the Arista DCS-7280SR-48C6 — 48 ports of 10 Gig and six 100 Gig uplinks of pure speed. We’ve become pretty knowledgeable on Arista kit, and if you’re looking to make savings on high-end switches, give me a shout. We even see current models appear now and then — because users of these super-fast switches tend to refresh them more often than I refresh my coffee. Looking to cut costs on high-end switches without compromising performance? Let’s chat. #RefurbishedNetworking #Arista #Meraki #CircularEconomy
