I found something interesting. One day I had to swap a meraki MX80 for a meraki MX450. I have a redundant ISP uplink service so in theory I would not have downtime. Unlucky for me when I was going to do this swap my other uplink went down so I was depending only on one. I had to change my firewall anyways because mx80 was on 100% of CPU I thought I was gonna have downtime but for the 5-10 minutes I was doing the swapping I ran a ping to internet to ensure when I get internet access again. BUT I swapped my firewall and I never lost internet access, no packets lost. was it luck? is that how meraki works? I dont know but that was impressive. the fact that all the settings are saved on the cloud and that I only have to register a new firewall to download all the configurations I had is a real life saver. I give you that one Meraki.
