VPN connectivity change

I am seeing this every time my uplink changes due to connection dropping, I understand the uplink status change but why would the vpn drop as well? if uplink 0 (Primary) is the connection to MPLS, it doesn't create a site to site vpn tunnel.

The only site to site vpn is when using  uplink 1 (Secondary) which is the meraki spoke connection to a MX250 hub

when failing over to the meraki uplink I would expect the vpn to stay up, not go down

Hey there, 

Is your MPLS link your primary or secondary uplink for the MX? And do you have Active-Active Enabled? That may explain the behavior your seeing. 

 

If you'd like to have a failover scenario, then follow this KB

Let me take a look at that KB, as for your questions the MPLS link is the primary and the Active-Active is disabled, should I change it to enable?
