Non Meraki VPN failover second peer

[Fabian1]

Hi everyone,

it looks like, you don't have to work with tagging scripts for a second non Meraki VPN tunnel anymore, you can simply add a second peer to the first. Might be old for some of you, I just saw that in our dashboard.

Is there any documentation to this new setup? Is this a backup tunnel or a real second peer?

I thing this is a big step forward if you want to add services to your SDWAN networks via VPN

I believe it was designed with Cisco Secure Access in mind. Not had chance to test the functionality yet to a generic NMVPN endpoint.

This is great stuff, so we can get rid of the script that does the health check and switch to a backup tunnel directly within the Meraki dashboard.

 Hopefully MX 19 will be stable as soon as possible, so we can roll out the update and can use this feature.

Good to know.  Thanks for letting everyone know.
