Currently we are using in the most places unmanaged Netgear equipment to connect the packing tables to the network. We already had several occasions that those unmanaged switches where interconnected by Warehouse employees. 

So we managed to secure the budget to swap all those unmanaged switches with Meraki MS130-8. We are talking about 750 of those switches.

This gives us the flexibility to set a different VLAN to printers and Thin Clients, and also to use 802.1x authentication for the connected clients with our ISE Deployment.

The main challenges we have is to get the time to swap the switches and the manpower to do so. 

After the switches are replaced we want to enable 802.1x authentication on the network for those devices.
