Hello there fellow Meraki Colleagues, I am in the middle of an SD-WAN Deployment for a client. They will be installing two MX250's in HA. Their only use will be site-to-site branch communication via Auto-VPN/SD-WAN. We recently learned that the client only has two public IP Addresses available for the HA Pair. I know this will still technically work, but using a 3rd VIP is certainly preferred for smoother failover. Does anyone have any experience with the speed of failover when you're using a VIP vs Not? Meraki documentation basically just says "it's faster"... but no real numbers or descriptive insights. Has anyone compared with and without? In this situation we there will be around 6 remote sites communicating over the Auto-VPN. I assume without the VIP those VPN Tunnels will get torn down upon failure, and have to be rebuilt with the other MX. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it a pretty dramatic difference? Appreciate your input! Thanks.
