Migrating from Cisco to Meraki

Migrating from Cisco to Meraki

1. What is the purpose of the project?
     Hardware refresh of small datacenter from Cisco 4507R+E to Meraki C9300M and from Cisco 2975 to MS130

 

2. What challenges did you encounter? How did you solve those?

     In place migration with zero downtime. Plan is to connect C9300 to firewall (Firepower 1120) with a pair of aggregated ports and a trunk to existing coreswitch for duration of migration. Still trying to understand how to aggregate the ports correctly and how to trunk the switches seamlessly.

 

3. What do you hope to do next?

     After installation of the core switch, rollout of the MS130 stack will be next.

Kind of a big deal

Have you got a picture after ripping out the 4507?  It would look very different.  🙂
