Deploying Meraki Vmx (Hub) in two Different Azure Region For Redundancy

Greetings!,

                    I am searching for a document that contains deploying VMX (Hubs) into two different Azure region so that Spokes(Mx68) can connect to the Hub in the active region. If that region is experiencing latency or not available we can switch the Spokes to another region.

 

 

 

Thank you

Thanks for your quick response. What I need is the same deployment but in two different region Azure region. Example North Central  US and East US. Thank you

The provided architecture is compatible with what you want to do.

In Region 1, deploy vMX Hub 1 in its own VNet.

In Region 2, deploy vMX Hub 2 in a separate VNet.

I assume that each Azure region would have unique subnets.  I assume that your applications figure out which region is the active one and connect to that.

 

If so, you don't need to take any special action.  Just deploy the VMXs like normal.  The application will handle the failover.
