MX64 using both DIA & a Layer 2 VPLS circuit

[cgw]

Hi, is i possible to have both a Direct Internet Circuit & a Layer 2 VPLS circuit on an MX64 device?

Currently the site is just connected to the internet, but there is a legacy VPLS Layer 2 WAN link that could be used to connect back to our Data Centre. SD-WAN is not deployed yet as a solution, so the Layer 2 link would just use Ospf to peer with our Data Centre WAN Routers. Default route would be to the internet & only Ospf learned routes would traverse the Layer 2 WAN link.

Could anyone confirm if this is possible on the MX64?

Thanks in advance

No. wan links always need reachability  to meraki cloud.

You could connect the link on the lan side and  use static routes (+ tracking)

Something like this https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Networks_and_Routing/Integrating_an_MPLS_Connection_on_the_MX_LA...
