Meraki MX MTR, MS MTR difference

[abcdef12345]

Hello, I'm administrator who is new to the network.
I'm posting on the community because I have a question.
When I look at the route from MX equipment to MTR, and when you look at the route from MS equipment to MTR
The paths come out differently.
MX is shows a direct the destination ip.
BUT MS shows the paths and the destination ip.
Is it because MX and MS operate differently?
MS will also go to destination via VPN tunnel on MX at the top, but I don't know why.
Please give me a lesson.
Thank you.

To understand the technical differences between them, I suggest  go through the following link:

I tried on an MX and MS on the same network and both came out the same for me, can you share what you are seeing (deleting any private information)?

The MX MTR should always route out the internet as the sources are only the WAN ports.

The MS would follow the path of any internal traffic. If your site is a Spoke using an exit hub or you are injecting a static route to the IP from another VPN Hub it will follow that path. If you have traffic flow preferences they also could influence the path.

The MS does not participate in VPN tunnels. It sends packets to its gateway (MX), and the MX handles all VPN encryption/decryption.

The MX encapsulates the packets in an encrypted tunnel after receiving them from the MS.

Tools like MTR on the MS track the route before the packet enters the VPN tunnel, and on the MX, track the route from inside the tunnel.

Thank you for your answer.
I checked with TAC engineer and confirmed it as an issue.

Thank you.
