Hello all. I'd like to get some clarification on flexible stacking. We purchased MS425-16 switches for a distribution switch stack, that would need Layer 3 redundancy. Before purchasing the switches, I reviewed the flexible stacking documentation, which stated "full redundancy for your gateway". I am now being told that Flexible Stacking does not support Layer 3 redundancy, and that only physical stacking supports this. I'm a bit confused as to what "full redundancy for your gateway" means if not layer 2 and layer 3... From Meraki documentation (https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Stacking/Switch_Stacks😞 Understanding Flexible Stacking Availability and redundancy are most helpful at the distribution layer of a network. On MS420 and MS425 series switches, any two ports can be configured as stack ports. This allows for full redundancy setup for your gateway and minimizes the impact of a failure in the network. Can someone please confirm whether I would have layer 3 redundancy with Flexible Stacking? If not, I believe Meraki needs to drastically modify their documentation on this because this is extremely misleading.
