Hello
Is it possible to do this configuration in Meraki? Or I am requesting a advanced setup for the solution?
When the hardware or link fail, the traffic would be forward automatically each other, ...with a MX alive (hardware or link)?
I think you maybe are looking to do a Warm Spare config?

If you setting up the network at a HUB site, it might work. If at a SPOKE site, maybe not.
Sorry I forgot to mention.. This is a SPOKE Site..
Even HUB I have tried with 2 MX84 and did not work well..
are you setting up warm spare (2 mx in one network) or not? what did not work?
That should work fine in a warm spare config.

and you need one ip you can use as wan ip that can be moved between the 2 mx's
This is an optional item. I would not use the work "need". This depends on your network and your requirements.
Wow, I've never known that I could use the same public IP address on both Merakis.
My setting is
VIP: 1.1.1.1
MX1: 1.1.1.2 (Primary)
MX2: 1.1.1.3 (Spare)
Then your customer has
VIP-None
MX1: 1.1.1.1
MX2: 1.1.1.1
Thanks all for the answer, but I did this test like previous comments but at the dashboard view worked fine. When I have forced failover, it means, I have disconnected from the power the primary MX, the secondary did not assume the master rules.
Included checking the lights in front of the MX, the secondary MX have had ping over the network while the primary was down, but the lights was orange =/.. different than primary MX when was active have had white lights.. Is that normal or not?
Has anyone done this config and test failover like this?
I dont know it seems a complex configuration for Meraki.. I am comparing HSRP ISR Router..
Finally I had no chance to call a Meraki tac support because the window to make this change has been over..
