Hi. We're a charity and were recently donated a MS220-8P as we have a need for a small PoE switch. It appears that this switch is still "registered" to the previous owner. In addition, we can't afford a full cloud management licence and just want to use it as a "dumb" PoE switch (yes I know it's overkill but beggars can't be choosers :-)). How can we do a full reset and manage it locally? Pushing the restore button for 10-15 seconds still won't allow us to connect via the 1.1.1.100 IP address. I'm not a network engineer - far from it - but any help would be awesome! Thanks so much in advance!

You have to contact the previous owner and ask them to remove It for you from the current organization.
Yes, as just told I am afraid but without releasing the switch from the old owners dashboard you are not able to use it. Can´t you buy an cheap switch in the shop? It´s less expensive than a licence for an Meraki switch.
Thanks for the very fast feedback. I've contacted the previous owner and asked him to remove it from his organisation. I'll see if that helps and report back. Thanks again!
Hi @NickHvy , where are you based? If UK I have a PoE switch you can have.
Hi @DarrenOC. Yep we’re in the UK. Redcar in the north-east to be precise. Your offer sounds awesome!
Hi @NickHvy , please email me at doconnor@resalire.co.uk with the charity details and address and I’ll sort this out.
Also note you can't use is as a dumb switch - you must buy a licence for it to work.
Charity pricing is available.
