Please i need instructions on how to connect two meraki MX together for redundancy so that if one breaks down the other one will automatically take over.
Hi, first of all, both need to be the same model. Here you can find all the information.

Hi alemabrahao,
Thanks for providing the link. i saw the below diagram on the link and have a couple of questions
Will the two MX be connected to each other?
How many ISPs do we need in total.
Is there another method of configuring meraki HA with just one ISP?
You only need 1 ISP. It has nothing to do with the HA setup.
The 2 MXs are connected via the downstream switch to exchange VRRP heartbeats.
Thank you RaphaeIL. Please do you have some other instructions, diagrams, or videos that demonstrated HA setup with one ISP. I am new to meraki and I want to build my very first Meraki network with one ISP, two MX, and a 48-port meraki switch.
@Diego123 you can find all documentation on Meraki site.

Diego,123,
The answers provided are the same that I would be telling you. You will need two identical MX's in order to setup for failover. The documentation for this can be found here:

One thing to keep in mind is that each Meraki device needs a license to work and you will need to create an account on the dashboard. To set this up go to dashboard.meraki.com and from there you can claim your equipment and add the licenses.
