Integrating Non-Meraki peers with MX spokes

I've read this blog, and I know that

 

 

1.Non-Meraki VPN routes are not advertised to AutoVPN peers.

2.Remote non-Meraki VPN subnets cannot overlap with any existing Dashboard subnets/routes.

 

 

Say I have a topogy like this,

MX (1.1.1.1/16) ( BRANCH) --> AutoVpn -> MX (HUB) --> Non-Meraki peer (2.2.2.2/16)

 

According to the docs, If I don't do anything, the branch MX, and the Non-Meraki peer won't have reachability to each other.

 

But what if I just configure a static route on the branch MX (1.1.1.1/16) pointing to Non-Meraki peer (2.2.2.1/16) with a next hop of the Hub MX, and do the reverse on the Non-Meraki peer?

 

It looks simpler than the solution suggested in the blog.

Will this work or Am I just misunderstanding something here?

 

Thanks in advance.

No. 

 

It won't allow you to add that route.
