Take a look at the documentation.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

I would not dual-connect an MX to a switch fabric.  Use a single connection.

 

What happens is you eventually run into a spanning tree issue and suffer an outage that the extra redundancy was meant to avoid.

 

In other words, the extra complexity causes more outages than it prevents.
