I have a MX68 in a half cabinet at a colocation data center, along with a couple servers hosting a website and SQL Server. I have purchased a used, unclaimed MX85 that I plan to replace the MX68 with. The current router is online and configured with a few firewall and VPN settings. I have not yet purchased a license for the MX85. What would be the procedure to setup and configure the MX85 prior to installing it in the cabinet and attaching it to the WAN? Can I get it mostly setup at the office by plugging it into the LAN and then just quickly swap out the routers at the data center? Any help or links to make this transition go smoothly would be greatly appreciated.
