eBGP with Meraki MX

I'm looking to create a BGP peering between my LAN switches and the MXs (directly connected). It appears Meraki only supports peering through the WAN interfaces, is that so? Would I be able to put a LAN IP on WAN2 and peer with the LAN switches?

 

Another question - how do I select which routes to receive and advertise through BGP?

For anyone facing the same issue I did, choosing Default as the source interface allowed me to create the eBGP peering with the LAN.

Thanks for linking that document. I see this line 

"eBGP peer relationships are supported on both the WAN and LAN of the MX, peering is bi-directional and routes will be automatically redistributed into AutoVPN."

 

However, I don't have an option to peer on the LAN in the settings even with the MX operating in routed mode
