Precautions when replacing MR to CW9172

We plan to replace the MR with the CW9172.

MX provides cold swap guides, and attention must be paid to port mapping.

Are there any precautions when replacing the MR series with the CW series?

The most important thing is that CW917x needs a different license when you are already on Meraki Subscription. That's a real Pita. Other than that, just swap them as before with MR-X -> MR-Y.

We are currently using an MR Enterprise license.
We have purchased an additional MR Enterprise license.
Can the CW series use the MR Enterprise license?
And what do MR-X and MR-Y mean?

@KarstenI is referring to going from one MR version to another

I'm not an employee of Cisco/Meraki. My posts are based on Meraki best practice and what has worked for me in the field.

MX supports cold swaps.
Does MR not support replacement?
Do I need to remove the existing MR, connect the new MR, and then manually set the IP, location, hostname?

Because the MRs I need to replace number over 1,000.

Actually, I was thinking about going from one MR model to another, like you had the MR32 and go to MR36. Same procedere.

 

For MR-Enterprise, do you mean CoTerm Licensing? Then everything stays the same for the licensing.
