And that's my point I'm trying to ascertain, If anyone has first hand experience and confirm this is correct or not that would be great!    Not just to look at the documentation and say its only a L2 switch, or Meraki AI the question (which interdentally said doesn't support L3 but clearly does albeit limited)    AI Assistant23:26 The Meraki MS150 switch does not support Layer 3 routing. Layer 3 routing features, such as inter-VLAN routing and routed interfaces, are available only on specific Meraki MS switch models (such as the MS250, MS300, and MS400 series). The MS150 is a Layer 2 switch and cannot perform Layer 3 routing functions. For more details and a list of supported models, see: MS Layer 3 Switching and Routing ... View more

AI response: Can a Meraki MS 150 switch be a DHCP server?   Yes — a Meraki MS150 can act as a DHCP server, but only in specific scenarios and with important limitations. Here’s the clear, no-fluff answer 👇 When an MS150 Can Be a DHCP Server ✅ If the MS150 is operating at Layer 3 The switch must have SVIs (VLAN interfaces) configured. Supported One or more DHCP scopes per VLAN Basic DHCP options: Gateway (Option 3) DNS servers (Option 6) Domain name (Option 15) Static IP reservations Where it’s configured Dashboard → Switch → Routing & DHCP Hard Limitations (Very Important) ⚠ No DHCP failover / HA If the switch reboots or fails → DHCP stops. ⚠ No split scopes / redundancy ⚠ Limited DHCP options No PXE / advanced vendor options No dynamic DNS updates No lease replication ⚠ Per-switch only Another MS cannot automatically take over ⚠ Not cloud DHCP Dashboard manages it, but leases are local to the switch When Using MS150 DHCP Makes Sense 👍 Small sites 👍 Single switch acting as default gateway 👍 Non-critical networks 👍 No compliance or uptime requirements Examples: Small office School closet IoT / guest VLANs When You Should NOT Use It 🚫 Enterprise core/distribution 🚫 Environments needing HA 🚫 AD-integrated DNS 🚫 PXE boot / VoIP-heavy networks 🚫 Regulated environments DNS with MS150 DHCP The MS150 does not provide DNS itself. You must specify: Public DNS (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8), or Internal DNS servers Best Practice Recommendation Use MS150 DHCP only if: It’s the Layer 3 gateway Downtime is acceptable Simplicity > resilience Otherwise: ➡ External DHCP (Windows / Linux / cloud VM) ➡ MS150 uses DHCP relay   ...
