Hi everybody,
I need help with my Meraki Network. Lets say I have 40 Network / Sites in my Dashboard and each and everyone of them has a single MX67. All of those Sites are built by using templates and therefor all the Sites in general and all the MX Firewalls are bound to a single template.
Now I want to upgrade those sites. Is there any chance I can upgrade those Sites on a different day or just separately generally speaking.
If yes I would be very pleased if you could help me out here with the solution. If that is not possible I would love to know how you guys would deploy such a infrastructure with templates.
Thanks in advance,
Toni
Solved! Go to solution.
To build on @alemabrahao answer, a common solution to this problem is to clone your template and call it something like "Pilot Group", "Pre-production", "Test", etc.
Bind a test network to that. Then do all your testing on that before pushing changes to production.
ps. MX67s are pretty safe when doing firmware updates. I would just do the firmware upgrade.
Great question! We have a similar topic with one of our customers.
I hope Meraki Support can find a solution for this or enlighten us with a best practice guide.
No, the only way, is if you had part of the MXes in a different template.
Thanks to the both of you for giving me the feedback I needed to accept my faith ;(
I guess I just have to trust the Firmware

Thanks to you as well,
The "test-Template" isn't a bad idea.
