Bandwidth burst on MX84 firewall logs. Want to implement 2nd MX84

[MRMunemo]

Experiencing link throughput burst on MX84 ,internet and network slow down. Does not want to invest into new hardware but has 2 x Mx84 firewalls. would like to install the second MX84 firewall but not sure how i can make use of it to distribute traffic. See attached current network setup. Want to implement 2nd MX84 to avoid bandwidth burst on the installed MX84.Looking for the best solution to avoid bandwidth throttle on GW01

As there can only be one active MX in one Dashboard-Network, you have to create a second network and put the second MX in there. Only the dashboard networks will be separated, the actual MXes will share one network.

The L3-Switch between your internal VLANs and the MX needs to distribute the traffic between both gateways.

You could make the default route on each sites core layer 3 switch point to the MX located in the same site.
