I am seeking a little help in what may be an unorthodox configuration. Not sure if I am missing anything here, so I am reaching out to those who are smarter than I for guidance.
We have two locations which we currently have connected via site to site (10GB) fiber.
Both sites have MX Appliances. Site 1 is the primary site with all the users and clients (172.18.20.0/24) and Site 2 is the Data Site (172.18.200.0/24) with all the servers.
Servers at Site 2 have a 172.18.20.0 address and are reachable from Site 1. Currently, I can reach devices on the 172.18.200.0/24 network via Site-to-site VPN, but I want to eliminate this method.
The goal is to allow devices at Site 2, connectivity to devices at Site 1 via the switches that link the 2 site. My thinking is that I need to perform the following task: Create a Layer 3 Routing Interface on the Switch at Site 2 with a route to 'connect' the 172.18.200.0/24 and 172.18.20.0/24 networks.
Meraki makes this a little confusing with their numerous UI's, so I am not sure where and how to set this up. Below is a network diagram.
Phase 2 of this will be to add a second interface to the servers with a 172.18.200.0/24 address for redundancy in the event that the link between BAKER and BERRYVILLE is severed, the server would use the 200.1 gateway.
