Moving AP Between Network, want to keep same SSID and setting under same Org

Hello All 

 

I have couple of APs working in Network A with Cisco Catalyst switches, I made Network B under same Org with All Cisco Meraki devices, and looking to move all our client from Network A to Network B and when i complete i will remove Network A. 

 

now what is best way to move AP from Network A to Network B with same SSID and all setting, so when i move AP cables from Catalyst to Meraki switches then users have minimum down time.

 

Is there any type of cloning option?

Yes see here: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Organizations_and_Networks/Cloning_Networks_...

You can either start over with a new Cloned Network B, or possibly use configuration sync.

You course also need to make sure your switch settings match, but that would be something you'd need to do manually or via APIs/Scripting.

I already made network, and configured my MX and all MS manually, (had to change some Layer 3 Vlan routing, DHCP) 

 

only AP parts is left now.

Then you would want to look at configuration sync. If you have a combined network you'd need to split it temporarily to be able to use that functionality.

If you are keeping all AP settings then you can split the combined network A into A wireless, A switch etc.  Then split the combined B network into B switch, B appliance etc.  Finally combine B switch, B appliance and A wireless into new B combined network.

Thank you all,

I decided to create SSID manually as they are only 3. I am using "Meraki Cloud Authentication" under Security --> "Enterprise with" and added user to use SSID, now my question is if I make same SSID in Network B are those use be able to use SSID using their login and password they have, as users Meraki cloud Authentication is Network wide.
