MS switches performance with 3rd Party Router for Overlay

[Alannabi]

Hello Team,

How are you doing?

I have a customer who will order Meraki Switches (MS120), we are fighting to let him replace the Routers he has (which rented via AT&T) with Meraki MX.

my question:

will be there any technical issues with the MS switches (from a management perspective) if he insists to keep using the 3rd party routers?

You can use any other router from any other manufacturer and you won't have any management issues.

Alemabrahao is correct, you can use any router with Meraki Switches, we did for a few years before moving over to the MX devices.  I hope you can get them talked into using the MX, as you probably know already, they are nice to use if you already have the switches in the dashboard.
