Combining Templates

SuperM — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 03:11:09 GMT

Hi Community,

I need some reassurance regarding combining templates as I've had some bad experiences in the past with losing configuration.

So, we intend to add an MG component to an existing template that doesn't have it and the template contains approximately 200 networks.

Here are the steps:

Create a new MG combined template in the Meraki Dashboard.
Split the newly created template.
Combine the cellular gateway component with the existing template.

My question is, will this in any way cause any downtime or unexpected issues, as I am cautious about potential disruptions?

You've perhaps already come across my deck as it's been posted in other threads. I show this exact process and it's not disruptive to existing templates/networks/devices.
