Does MX static uplink config remain active when moving it to a new Meraki Org?

Hi, 

 

I need to move a MX currently having a static wan IP (the one and only uplink it has) from one org to another.

 

My doubt is about the static uplink config would remain in the device after unclaiming it from the old org or whether I would lose it.

 

We are not sending any FE for this change as it was just a logical change from one org to another.

 

Many Thanks!

Unless you do a factory reset, WAN static IP settings generally stick in MXs locally. I've done many types of move as you describe doing acquisitions for clients and have not lost my static IP settings.

Hey Chema;
Based on the documentation


Removing an MX from its former network and moving it to a new network will wipe out the existing configuration on the MX, that it had from its old network.

 

Since you are unclaiming it; it should revoke all config.
You'll need to then manually add the static IP like the previous setup.
Here is the linked doucmentation:

I share the same experience as @Mloraditch .  The WAN config generally sticks.

Right, Meraki documentation states the MX will lose all config (including its uplinks config). However, I just have tried moving a MX from my lab (both uplinks with static config) and after unclaim/claim process I has properly registered into the new org. And it also has properly registered in our lab org once we have rolled it back to it. Thanks!
