MX67 Convert Port 2 from Lan to Wan

I am not on site and will be doing this remotely.  We are looking to migrate away from 1 ISP currently connected to WAN 1, to a different ISP on Wan 2.

 

If I convert port 2 from Lan to Wan , will this impact my Wan Port 1?

 

My Wan port 1 is currently working and configured to a non-meraki VPN  Peer

 

Can I then configure the New Wan 2, and make that my primary uplink port.?

Yes, you can do this remotely without any problem, I've done it several times.

As long as your device comes online on the regular internet connection it will get the dashboard config to set the second port to WAN2.
However make sure the people onsite don't use that port as LAN port 😜

When converting port 2 on an MX67 we have, it rebooted each time the port was converted from WAN to LAN or LAN to WAN.  This was on firmware18.107.5.
