Looks like we finally got an answer! Cisco Meraki has identified an issue related to a fan component in the MS225-48LP, MS225-48FP, MS210-48LP, and MS210-48FP switch models, which may affect their long-term reliability. We want you to have the best experience with our devices, so we will send you a free, redesigned, replacement switch. This new switch offers a more powerful, but quieter fan. The new switches will begin shipping in October. We are continually monitoring your switches and will notify you if we see a high-temperature alert, which is an early symptom of a fan issue. In the meantime we can offer an interim software mitigation that can significantly reduce the likelihood of device failure for devices that have not had a high-temperature alert by increasing the operating speed of the fan. This mitigation requires both a firmware upgrade to MS 10.34 and above, and opening a support ticket. The tradeoff is that this mitigation will increase the perceived fan noise by approximately 40%.
