Converting from Catalyst to Meraki
I am trying to set up my VLANS in the Meraki dashboard. The issue is that I am trying to create a VLAN to the interface of 172.18.28.2 which is the same ip as the switch. Do I not need to create VLAN 1 in the Routing and DHCP section of the Meraki dashboard. Below is the example of VLAN 1 on the catalyst switch.
!
interface Vlan1
ip address 172.18.28.2 255.255.254.0

You can't use the same IP, try with another IP.

Do I need to even establish VLAN1 in the Meraki Dashboard?

There is no VLAN creation in Meraki, only VLAN interfaces.

Is this question about converting a Catalyst switch to Meraki or just recreating a similar config on a Meraki switch that you have or had on a Catalyst switch?
If it's the latter then it's important to understand the key difference with a cloud managed Meraki switch vs. a Catalyst or other non cloud managed switch. A Meraki switch requires a management IP to communicate with dashboard. Think of it like a simple client with a unique IP that talks to dashboard. This mgmt IP can be on a native or tagged VLAN.
A Meraki switch can also have layer 3 IPs for local VLANs if it's performing routing or DHCP relay functions. Layer 2 VLANs don't require any special config on a Meraki switch like a VLAN database or anything. A trunk port on a Meraki switch assumes it can carry any VLAN 1-4094.
