So question for you all. My company has 23 remote offices with MX devices connecting each office to our Main office. 8 of our offices including the main office have 2 wan connections out. Wan 1 (internet) Wan 2 (MPLS). We want the 8 offices to send traffic through our MPLS connection on Wan2. I know how to set it up (I think) My question is if one of our other offices that does not have MPLS connections wants to communicate with the main office or one of the other offices with an MPLS connection, the Mx in the remote office sends out Wan1 (internet) . However, if the return packet from the server in our main office has the Uplink Selection Policy set for the offices with MPLS to go out WAN 2. Is that going to cause more latency on the return trip or will it go back out the Wan 1? The non-MPLS sites are connecting through Meraki AutoVPN NOW I AM CONFUSED after writing that!! LOL Example: our X office is not on the MPLS connection and has a subnet of 10.10.1.0/24 and a user in that office wants to pull an AutoCad File from one of the main servers in our home office with the 10.1.1.0/24 subnet, and an Uplink Selection Policy set to Prefer WAN2 (MPLS) for all traffic from the 10.1.1.0/24 going to our other MPLS connected offices. Will it add latency by attempting to return through the USP WAN2, or will it go out through WAN 1?
