Configuring MS410-16 without using Cloud Dashboard management

Hey everyone. Apologies if this was topic was covered already, but I would like to configure an MS410-16 switch (stacking it with a second one) locally. Was hoping to configure it through Putty CLI or through the web browser (already connected to it on the browser). The browser connection is limited though, so I can't set up multiple VLANs per port like I'd like, or to set up jumbo packets, sflow, and lldp for instance. Any insight would be appreciative, thank you in advance for your responses.

You can create a network in dashboard now, add the switches, complete the configuration. When you install the switches they will check in with dashboard and pull down their config. No need to SSH or install a config prior to physical deployment (other than if you need a static mgmt IP on the device - then use the local status page).

Meraki switches are cloud managed. The local status page is for limited config tasks (mainly giving a device a static IP). You need to do the config via dashboard or use API.

Ah, so no way to configure them locally via ssh or any traditional networking method? My only issue is that the building I'm going to replace the switches with is still in production. The cut over would have to happen at a later date, so I was hoping to prep everything in advance. Then just unplug the internet connection from the old hardware, plug it into the new Meraki switches, and that'll be the end of the physical hardware switching.

Ok, I'll try that then. Thank you for that information Ryan, and have a great weekend!
