Hi,
We are amidst a network change from HP Curve Switches to Meraki, the network it self is an inherited mess, and am in the process of tracing the cables from our primary and HA Sophos devices, in order to patch into the new Meraki switch.
I would like to know, what the purpose of so many cables from the Primary and HA devices, On the Primary, I have Ports 1-4 filled (with cabling going to the old switch), 5 is empty, Port 6 is the feed from the ISP, Port 7 is the output to my network (this will go into the new switch), Port 8 is going into the HA. I have traced all these cables, and I cant work out that the purpose of Ports 1-4 are, I have the same on the HA. I am trying to limit cables as it is a nightmare. I have been told by the Meraki engineer (who was only here briefly) that there is an LACP channel config on the old switch, and he has configured ports for this on the new switch (one for Primary, one for HA) As I mentioned I have cable soup, and going back to what I was 
saying, I cant see a reason to patch Ports 1-4. Please see attached
