Hi team,
I am checking the sizing principles of MX and I want to ask what "Maximum Site to Site VPN Tunnel Count" means. Does it refer directly to the site-to-site peers? Is it only important for the MX in hub mode?
I am referring to this information:
https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/MX_Sizing_Information/MX_Sizing_Principles => MX-Series
Many thanks and regards,
Jonathan
Solved! Go to solution.
The “Maximum Site to Site VPN Tunnel Count” refers to the maximum number of VPN tunnels that can be established between different sites.

Hi,
thanks! That is what I thought, that means a site-to-site peer is also a VPN tunnel between sites.
It is still not clear to me what a VPN Tunnel is on the Meraki Dashboard.
If I have a connection between 3 sites, 1 Hub, and 2 Spokes:
On the Hub, I see 2 site-to-site peers and 16 VPN Participants. How many tunnels am I using, 2 or 16?
It's all the tunnels you have between HUB and Spokes, if you go to Security & SD-WAN > Monitor VPN Status, you can see the number of S2S VPN peers.
Two, the 16 VPN participants likely represent the individual subnets across all 3 of your sites that are being advertised over the VPN.
@Jonathan_Galvez Here are some visual examples of how to calculate the tunnels
