Stacking question

Hello,

 

I have a situation where two Meraki switches are acting as Layer 2 core connected to third party firewalls. 

 

This switches are not in stack.

 

What is the best way to keep the switch as sperate entity but appear to firewall as one switch for cross connect. something like VPC or similar?

With Meraki there is no VPC. To be honest, I don't see a way for this to work. Maybe with STP, but even then I'm not sure it will work since the swithes are not stacked
