Hi Sir Alemabrahao,

       Thank you for your help, but I already saw that datasheet but in this documents the MPLS was in LAN side. What if I put MPLS in WAN uplink as failover if WAN 1 uplink for internet fail the WAN 2 with MPLS line take over? how about my internet connection? Is it same process with IP VPN? 

Thank you in advance

hi Ayen,

yes, it´s possible to connect an MPLS link (or any other) to the WAN uplink of the MX. You can use that as primary, secondary, load balance, etc. I have multiple customers using it like this.

The only requirement is that the MPLS link has internet connectivity. The MX WAN interface needs to connect to the Meraki cloud.

Hi Leosambrana,

    Thank you for your response, You mean the MPLS link itself need internet connection aside from having private network?

Yes, it needs internet to work.
