Hi,
I am new to Meraki - we have a site where there is currently a MX65W but we are not using the wireless. I would like to replace it with a MX65. Is there a way to 'clone' the MX65W config to the new MX65? https://tobefrankmagazine.com/
Thanks,
Lovely Sidhu
You should be able to delete the MX65w from the network and add the MX65. The settings are within the network, not in the MX65w
If I am not completely wrong... But not 100% at the moment
@MarcP is correct.
"Please note that the network will retain the old MX's non-local configuration, so the replacement MX does not need to be reconfigured in Dashboard. To remove an MX from an existing network, follow the steps below."
That means the following:
"Regardless of which method is used, any local settings such as static WAN IP addresses, proxies, and non-standard link speeds will need to be configured manually on the Local Status Page before the MX can connect to Dashboard. Generally these should be copied from the original MX (if available)."
There's actually an article specifically for this task:
You may like to consider using configuration templates
One question - are you looking to do this because you've already got the MX65, or would you be purchasing new hardware? Because if new hardware is required, have you considered looking into an MX68 instead? It's the replacement for the 65.
Oh no. I had missed that the MX68 doesn't have port security yet. That's... a bummer.

MX68 is sort of a MX65 replacement, still missing features like port security.
I didn't know that either! Thanks for letting us know.
Major feature gap in my opinion. Not sure why.....
that's wild. you think it would be the same. but then again you would think MX ports and Switch ports would have the same options too.. or even provide the same information
