Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the great replies, I know your all in the opposite timezone to me 🙂
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 210s and 225s can stack together, it really makes it a versatile solution for 1G and 10G downlinking to closet switches. 10G infrastructure is one of those "it's noticeably more expensive steps' in Meraki so it's nice o be able to add it later.
So getting a bit more nitty gritty technical, I have some follow up questions:
1) Would it be prudent to use a /30 subnet between the MS210/225 core and the MX?
2) Is it just one VLAN between the MS core and MX?
3) To achieve multiple DHCP pools being relayed from the MX through the MS, do I need to create the same VLANs with same IDs in the MX as in the MS core? In other words, how does the MX know what address to hand out to the respective MS VLAN relayed request?
4) In having the inter-VLAN routing happening in the switches, will this mean that only internet bound traffic will make it to the MX?
5) How does the switches SVI become the default gateway in the relayed DHCP request? Is this a function of DHCP relay or a special option set on the MX?
Thanks,
Jason
