Hi.
Meraki has informed us that we have to swap out the current VMX-100 with a new VMX image. The current virtual Meraki has many route tables assigned, using the current private IP and several site tunnels using the public IP.
My question is, is there a way to shut down the old Meraki and assign its IPs to the new one so I don't have to redo tunnels and route tables due to IP address changes? The old one has dynamic addresses for both public and private. I want to take those dynamic IPs, change them to static and configure them on the new Meraki image.
Thanks in advance
Sharyn

I'd suggest reaching out to support or ask in their forums here.

Hi.
I want to double check what I was told on the Meraki discussion group.
I was told I would lose the public IP and possibly the private one as well. Here is the question I posed to them, as this is more azure related than meraki I think.......
What if I were to reserve both the public and private IP for the old meraki that I'm replacing. Then I stand up the new one, turn the old one off, disassociate the ips from the old one and assign them to the new one. Will that work? I understand traffic will be temporarily halted between meraki changes but this will be done in the middle of the nite so shouldnt have a problem as far as traffic goes
Thanks in advance.

as this is more azure related
They may know this one over here.
