MS120-48

[Unexus]

We will get a MS120-48 switch. One port will connect to our MX67 LAN port.

Other ports will be patched to outlets

On the outlets we want to connect on some ports an unmanaged (Netgear) switch, since the amount of outlets in the office is not enough to serve all the equipment.

1) how can this be done, what do I need to configure on the specific port on the MS120-48?

2) is there a max amount of devices that can be managed on the MS120-48 port?

New (and learning on the job) on switching.

Take a look at the documentation.

Quick-Start

If you just want to get started without reading more in-depth information, follow these basic steps:

Unpack and mount your switch (desktop or rack mount) and power it on.

Plug any one of the Ethernet or fiber ports into an upstream device on your LAN. The uplink port should have access to a DHCP server and it will also need to be able to communicate with the internet.  

After powering on, your switch will download the latest software. While upgrading, the switch's power LED will flash green/white. Once the switch has checked into the dashboard, the LED will turn green/white. Note: A solid orange light indicates that the device has not checked in with the dashboard yet.

Log in to http://dashboard.meraki.com (For any devices that are used in mainland China, please visit http://dashboard.meraki.cn and create a new network. If you do not yet have a dashboard account, choose "Create an Account") Type in the serial number of your switch (found on the back of the unit) or simply enter your order number. This will create a new switch network.

Make your desired configuration changes under the Switch > Configure section of the dashboard.

For additional switch installation information, please refer to the MS Installation Guides article.

Exactly my road to follow, at least you don't answer with "no, not possible", so it implies its a matter of configuring correct. Right?

Yep

Why not just buy sufficient MS120s to allow any / all unmanaged switches to be replaced?   Unmanaged switches are, IMO, seriously bad news inside a business:   definitely a false economy.
