Hello,
We are in the process of moving from one office to another.
In our current space we have 5 MSP48 switches.
I will only need 2 of them in the new space, initially at least.
so I have removed all of the connections from 2 of the switches shown below. However the ports in the back are still connected in the chain.
It was suggested that I remove the switches logically from the stack before removing them physically.
Makes sense.
So I am wanting to confirm the proper process for this.
I presume I select them as shown above then delete them.
Switches 2 and 3 are now empty device connection wise.
sw1-sw5 are all daisy chained via the rear connector ports going from 1to 2, 2 to 3 etc with the second port on sw 5 going back to sw1.
Once they have been removed logically from the stack, Do I then take the cord that is going from 4 into 3 currently and replace the cord going from 2 into 1 with it?
So the cords would now going from switch 4 to switch 1?
basically
1-->4, 4-->5, then 5 back to 1?
Then in the new space I would link 2 to 3 and vice versa (and very likely rename them) and add them to a new network stack. in the admin center. Am I correct?
I am relatively new to Meraki administration and set up so I apologize if these are total newbie type questions.
Thanks in advance for any assistance / suggestions you can provide.
Warm regards,
M.G. Underwood
