Hi Chris, Thanks for replying. The fibre although private is about 7km long and patches through several buildings and another companies comms cabinets on the way (It's a railway environment). I'm probably being over cautious but would like to VPN if possible. Do you think this scenario could work? Cheers.

Hi, I have two buildings directly connected by fibre but would like to VPN this connection. They each separately have their own internet connection, and I don't want to use the MX84 to be the main internet connection. I currently achieve this with two Cisco ASA 5520's but would like to replace them. Is it possible to use 2x MX84's to do this? I was thinking that the WAN1 port from each device could have an internet connection for the Meraki Cloud and the two WAN2 ports could connect directly together for the VPN traffic. If this won't work (and I'm thinking it won't as the two WAN2 ports are directly connected do not themselves have a connection to meraki cloud to establish the connection) then if the two WAN connections connect directly to a switch (which has a connection to the internet) will it establish the VPN connection and send traffic directly to each other? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Al.
