DHCP IP assignment in the initial setup of Meraki MS
Hi all,
I am having some confusion on below thing
Suppose we are uplinking a brand new MS switch to a Core switch port which has been configured as Trunk port. DHCP pools have been created on the switch. Since the native VLAN of the ports of new MS switch is VLAN 1, do we need to keep the native VLAN of Core switch trunk port as VLAN1 and create a DHCP pool for the VLAN 1 SVI. After the Switch was connected to the dashboard with the received IP, then we can assign a IP to the switch from our desired Management VLAN. Is this the process for a new Meraki Switch?

That would work.
A native vlan is just untagged packets. You can use any native vlan you like.

I sometimes put "Meraki management" on VLAN1 (and use VLANs for everything else) specifically because of this. It means I know I can get a device factory reset and regain management capability. It also makes onboarding new devices much easier.
