Creating new network dashboard for existing network

[Karl_Jacobsen]

I've been working on cleaning up some aspect of my network. Currently I have one Meraki network dashboard that runs everything. My company has two sites and I would like to diversify the dashboard to have one network dashboard for each site. If I create a new network for the remote site would I copy the configuration from my current site and just add the correct devices from the main site to the new one? Is this process going to impact my networks that are already in production or does this only affect the dashboard?

Hi @Karl_Jacobsen 

Worth reviewing this one

In a nutshell they’ll be downtime and will require some thought and planning

Thank you Darren! That article is very helpful.... I decided to setup my remote office network dashboard as a copy of my current dashboard, edit the remote office dashboard to remove the primary office stuff, then try individually moving APs over from the current to the remote. This will minimize the impact on network availability while the AP changes from the current dashboard to the remote.
