Hi,
I'm trying to transition from Cisco 3650 switches to Meraki ms120-48p switches.
Here is what the connection looks like in the current scenario. my concern is would I be able to do all these with Meraki ms120?
do you see anything that might not work?
Thanks!
The MS120-48 wont do any routing. You would need an MS-250 the least if you're trying to match it.
I'm not doing any routing on the switch. it's all layer 2 switching.
MS120 supports STP , LACP , VLANs and Stacking ( virtual )so I don't see why it wouldn't tbh.
Agreed, with the exception that virtual stacking won't allow the creation of cross-switch LACP port-channels (assuming that's what Po1 and Po2 are).
Good point. Has anyone tested this and can confirm, that it doesn't work? It's not a huge deal even if I have to use a single switch for the aggregation.
Virtual stacking is for ease of switch management rather than data-plane switching.
It is not the same as typical switch stacking.
You'd need to look at other models (MS2xx, MS3xx, MS4xx, C9xxM) series for switch stacking capabilities.

I would encourage you to consider the MS210 or MS225 because of their stacking capabilities.

In your place I would use a Catalyst 9200 with IOS XE.
