IE-3500-8P3S-E Switch Meraki Licencing.

[CharlieCrackle]

The IE-3500-8P3S-E  industrial switch  has  a meraki management option.

1)  Does this appear in the dashboard like a cisco 9800  Series and have similar management ?

2)  Is there a Meraki part number so the switch is in Meraki mode and does not need to be converted from catalyst so no prestaging is needed .

3)  How do you licence this if you are on Traditional Meraki Licencing Co Term ?    The Data Sheet says 

"Meraki Integration: To enable Meraki cloud-managed visibility, you must purchase a Network Advantage license, which includes a 3-year term for Cisco Cyber Vision and Secure Equipment Access."

How  does Network Advantage  co term work with traditional licencing.. ?     Does a traditional Meraki Switch licence cover this.  ??     How does the  "Cyber Vision and Secure Equipment Access"  work in a traditional Meraki environment ?

Is there a 1 year option 

Am I better getting a  MS130R  and having an easy life ???

I know they have announced these, but as far as I know they have not yet released co-term skus for the SKUs going fully GA with meraki management via 17.18. (For example the 9500s). In fact other than the posts from Cisco Live EMEA there is very little out yet.

I would suspect this program will work for these switches once fully available: https://documentation.meraki.com/Platform_Management/Product_Information/Licensing/Meraki_Licensing/...

However Co-term should be available for new purchases at some point.

I don't know yet the answers to your other questions, I would suggest reaching out to your account manager who may be able to tell you items under NDA.

I can say if you need something now the MS130R would be fully supported and is fairly seasoned at this point if it meets your tech needs.
