Hi, Can non VPN subnets, eg a guest VLAN, overlap across multiple MX appliances? Say I have 3-4 sites that have a guest VLAN that is not in the VPN, use the same subnet. I dont see why not, as I already a few like that, but thought I'd ask if there are any issues/limitations. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I've seen this design and was under the impression that Meraki dont recommend cabling them like that anymore. But I'll give it a try in a lab.

An update: Tried again today, as I replaced switch 1 in the stack. Both Meraki appliances were set as Master and wasnt able to connect back to our datacentre. Internet traffic was going out through the secondary appliance. Any way to get the primary to go into Passive mode?

They're all trunks ports, no native VLAN set. I'll be doing more testing this Thursday to see what I can find.

No there is no direct link between them. I was under the impression that its not necessary any more? I didnt have enough time to test more as I had to get the site up and running again. Will do more testing when I go out for switch 1.

Thats what I thought too. The diagram is exactly the same as the topology. The switch was down for hours. When I go out to replace switch 1, I'll do more testing and see what happens.

Hi, I've a site with 2 x MX68's running MX 18.107.5, with one WAN link in each and both connected to a Cisco switch doing layer 2 downstream, as per the diagram below. Switch 1 went down, but the MX68's didnt not failover. Pretty sure it did in the past with MX 17.x.x. Any ideas why it would do that? Thanks.

Its the transit VLAN for the traffic from the switch stack VLANs out to the internet/SD-WAN

Good to know, thanks. A trunk port with VLAN10 as the Native VLAN and add the extra VLAN(s) to the trunk?

Awesome, thank you. STP is already enabled on the stack. Also, to add more complication to it, what if I run an extra cable between them for a Guest WiFi VLAN from the MX. See the red in the image.

Hi all, Was wondering if I can cable two MXs in HA and a Layer 3 switch stack like the image? See the extra green lines. At the moment I only have one cable running between each MX and switch stack member. Thanks.
