Hi Nash, thanks for your response, some really good information to take on-board. Regarding not using the switches for L3 traffic, we don't have that much internal traffic, most platforms that clients access are SaaS based, so internal traffic would be low on the switch level. I should have said , that the test networks left and right don't hit the office MX80 and are separated. Would that change your mind regarding the L3 switch in your opinion? That makes sense regarding the MX100 - thank your for that. Definitely worth upgrading to the MX100 over the MX84 so.

Hello Nash, thanks for getting back to me, very much appreciated. User account will probably grow to 120 users. Up from around 70 that we have currently. The MX, at present is doing the routing. The MS42P's L3 routing is currently disabled. Let me know if you need any further info.

Hi Meraki Community, I hope everyone is doing okay on this Monday. I would like your opinion \ help. I have uploaded a basic network topology that has worked well up till now. However user base is growing and the office MX80 is starting to hit very high CPU and max out at times. I have been quoted for a MX84 as its replacement but I am not sure that this work for the long term which is why I reached out to ye guys. Some points: - Edge SW in place to extend ISP public IP range. - 3 switches are not bonded and uplinks are over copper to the LAN interface of the MX The 2nd point is my first concern. The MX84 will have a better CPU etc but the uplinks will still be 1GB. For a 10GB pipe, I would need to go for the MX250 which is outside budget. Another concern is that the edge SW is a single point of failure and would require someone in the server room to bypass the SW - no automatic fail over. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
