We have Building A with its own ISP and an MX100, Building B with its own ISP and an MX67. Both buildings / MX hardware being on separate networks in the Meraki Cloud. The goal is WAN failover using each buildings ISP hookup on the MX devices. Unfortunately setting up a warm spare as I’m sure you know is not possible due to mismatching MX hardware between the two buildings.
We’re utilizing Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC’s to get a WiFi bridge between each building into Cisco Catalyst switches in both buildings that are connected to their respective MX devices.
We are looking for some possible solutions as we’re unsure of what the most logical implementation would be in this scenario whether that be VLANs or possibly utilizing the L3 Catalysts to create some type of manual failover logic between the two ISP hookups. I know ideally getting matching MX devices and utilizing Meraki’s HA / warm spare is the direct solution. But hoping to see if there’s any viable solutions with our current setup.
