I'm able to clone the MX100 and prep the MX105 with all the config, firewall rules, etc..
Not sure of the approach to take with the 3 new MS350s (old are also MS350). And/or how to integrate the newly stacked switch into the new combined network the cloned 105 is currently the only member of.
And while I'm asking, I have 3 APs (MR33) that were (incorrectly, I think) added as a seperate 'wireless' network in the same physical location as the old MX100 network, and ideally, I'd like to migrate them into the combined new network.
We are moving offices and the replaced equipment (MX100 and 3 stacked MS350s) is going to be delicensed and mothballed for disaster recovery options. And I'm trying to stage as much of the new equipment as I can, running in parallel, aside from the MR33s.
Thank for any thoughts, advice, well wishes.

Why can’t you leave the existing MS350 switches in situ and just replace the MX100? Seems a wasted effort to replace a switch for the same model. What do you gain?
Ah…skimmed over the last paragraph…office move.
Presume all eqpt claimed into the same Org and you’ve configured a new Network for the new site? In all honesty it isn’t going to take much effort to configure the 3 new switches in the new office. Plus, your new offices aren’t going to be an exact mirror of your current office environment as not everything is going to be patched in the same!
>as not everything is going to be patched in the same!
You are exactly correct. I had visions in my head about preserving some of the port specific settings we've made over the last several years (ports that started dying and had to be set to 100 non-duplex, for example), but all my new ports should work properly without any of that. Thanks for reminding me of that!
Enjoy the freedom of a new greenfield site. Start afresh 😁
Thank you. Will review that today.
