Cabling / Connectivity suggestion

[Raji]

We have ordered only 3 SW's - MS210-48FP connecting with 39 Cisco Phones.2 going to be stacking at Ground Floor & 1 SW goes to 1st Floor, Please advise the following
Cabling part between Stack Switches and 3rd Switch ?
Ground & First floor SW required separate WAN Link ? or we can connect WAN to Stack Switches from there we can connect to 3rd Switch?.

You don't need a separeted WAN Link, plug any one of the Ethernet or fiber ports into an upstream device on your LAN. The uplink port should have access to a DHCP server and it will also need to be able to communicate with the internet.

Thanks for the reply !

So the connection part would be WAN link to Meraki Stack Switch's at the ground floor from there we can connect to 3rd Switch ( 1st Floor ) ?..

[alemabrahao]

Yep, the switch only needs an IP address and it must be able to communicate with the Meraki cloud.

So the connection part would the Uplink device ( WAN Link ) to Meraki Stack SW's at the ground floor from there we can connect the cable to 1st floor Meraki SW  ?. Pls suggest
