I'm looking to enable some failover on our network. We have two ISP. Currently, the primary is in WAN1 and the secondary is in WAN 2. My understanding is that gives us failover if one of the lines drops. What it does not cover is a hardware failure in the MX84. My ISP's do not provide two links so I think currently if we have a hardware failure I will have to swap the WAN port on the primary Firewall with the secondary one. It's not automatic but will do. My plan was to enable Warm spare in the dashboard for the second Meraki with have. I assume I need a link cable between them both to keep the heartbeat. Does it matter which port I use. Will it then work if it fails over we just swap the WAN port cable over?
