I have a question regarding the firmware upgrade behavior on Meraki MS switches configured in a stack (2 units). When performing a firmware update, both switches reboot at the same time. I understand that this is the expected behavior, but I’d like to better understand the technical reasoning behind it. Is the logic such that once the firmware on one switch is updated, the other switch must instantly align its firmware version, triggering an immediate upgrade and reboot on both devices? I’ve already explained to the customer that this is by design, but they find it difficult to accept that a stacked system reboots simultaneously despite being redundant. I’d like to be able to explain this behavior in the context of Meraki’s design philosophy or architecture principles — if anyone could share insight or a good way to articulate this, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your advice and experience!
