Impact of staking two MS already configured and live.

Hi All,

provably a silly question for you but I don't have chance to test directly.

 

I have two MS250 already configured and live in the data centre and I have got two stacking cable to make them physically stacked.

 

The question is, what will be the impact to stack them?

 

- May I connect cables without impact?

- Do each config on MS will be maintained as is when the staking configuration on dashboard will be applied or it will be lost?

- there will be any kind of downtime doing it?

 

thanks in advance for your suggestion based on experience!

You need to power them off before stacking them.  Check out these instructions:   https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Stacking/Switch_Stacks#Configuring_a_Physical_Switch_Stack
