I am looking to move our current Cisco Catalyst setup to Cisco Meraki switches. In current setup I have MX95 as firewall then C3650 switch with VLANs (doing inter VLAN routing) on access switch c2960 I have 15 MR44, windows servers, Avaya phone system, printer, etc. DHCP running on windows server. Now I am thinking to move that setup to Meraki switches. I want to use setup VLANs and DHCP on MX95 and replace core switch c3650 with C9300 and access switches c2960 with MS225. Network is not very big, I have couple of VMware Host, couple of network printer, around 50 laptop, 50 Desktop, POE Avaya phones system. My question is should I add new Meraki switches in current network, or should I make another network in new Organization, take my time to setup and when I think new network is ready then start moving over devices, as I am only 1 person in IT, what will be the best option for less downtime.
