old gen to M4300 migration - zero downtime

Hello,   I need to "upgrade" my very old Netgear switches (1 stack of 2 GS724TS) to M4300 new gen (1 stack of 2 m4300-24x24f) and start enjoying the 10G links copper & fiber.   My plan is to rack...

    Hello msi,

     

    just to update & close this thread after having done migration.

     

    This worked fine for non complex single-cabled servers and with servers having NIC bonding, losing a single ping when de-cabling / re-cabling.

    It went not fine with ESX servers for some unknown reasons, vlans were not properly propagated until i moved the firewalls (doing the segregation between vlans) to new switches.

     

    Was it is misconfiguration from my side, or something really not working for a good reason, i'll never know.

     

    So that was 50% successfull.
