An administrator is troubleshooting why a specific application is not being shaped as expected. The traffic shaping rule for the application is configured, but the application is still using the default path. What should the administrator check FIRST in the Meraki dashboard?

Reboot the MX appliance to reset the traffic shaping engine.

Review the uplink configuration to ensure both uplinks are active.

Check the dynamic path selection page to see if the application is being routed over the expected path.

Verify that the traffic shaping rule is enabled and applied to the correct network.

What is the role of VPN settings in enabling dynamic path selection across multiple WAN links?

VPN settings determine the physical speed of each WAN link

VPN settings disable dynamic path selection for all traffic

VPN settings define which applications are allowed to use dynamic path selection

VPN settings establish the encrypted tunnels over which dynamic path selection can route traffic

Which Meraki dashboard feature is used to create rules that prioritize specific applications for traffic shaping?

Site-to-site VPN settings under 'VPN'

Uplink preferences under 'Uplink'

Traffic shaping rules under 'Security & SD-WAN'

A company has two sites connected by a site-to-site VPN. Each MX appliance has two WAN uplinks: a primary fiber link and a secondary LTE link. The fiber link has lower latency but is more expensive per GB, while the LTE link has higher latency but a flat-rate data plan. The company wants to use the fiber link for all traffic unless it becomes unavailable, and only then fail over to LTE. Which configuration should the administrator implement?

Configure both uplinks as active and rely on dynamic path selection to route traffic based on real-time performance metrics.

Set the LTE uplink as the primary and fiber as the backup to reduce cost.

Set the fiber uplink as the primary and LTE as the backup, and enable 'Use primary uplink for all traffic' in the VPN settings.

Disable dynamic path selection and configure static routes to send all traffic over the fiber link.
