A company has two data centers, each with an MX acting as a VPN hub. The hubs are in an HA pair within each data center. The architect wants to ensure that if an entire data center fails, the remote sites still have connectivity. Which design consideration is most important?

Ensure the HA pair in each data center is configured with the same virtual IP

Ensure the hubs are connected via a direct internet link

Ensure all spokes are configured with the same primary hub

Ensure each remote site has a secondary hub configured in the other data center

A company has 12 branch offices that frequently transfer large CAD files directly between each other. The network architect is evaluating Auto VPN topologies. The branches are all connected to the internet with symmetric 500 Mbps circuits. Which topology should be selected to minimize latency for inter-branch file transfers?

Hub-and-spoke with a single regional hub

Full mesh with only the largest branch as a hub

Hub-and-spoke with two redundant hubs

A healthcare provider has two regional data centers, each with an MX appliance acting as a VPN hub. Remote clinics are configured with one hub as the primary and the other as the secondary. The primary hub MX experiences a complete hardware failure. What happens to the VPN tunnels from the remote clinics?

The clinics continue using the failed hub through a backup path

The clinics automatically establish VPN tunnels to the secondary hub

The clinics lose VPN connectivity until the primary hub is repaired

The clinics must be manually reconfigured to use the secondary hub

What is a key benefit of integrating Auto VPN with Meraki SD-WAN policies?

Elimination of the need for VPN encryption

Automatic replacement of all MX appliances with SD-WAN devices

Guaranteed internet bandwidth for all applications

Improved application performance by selecting the best path for each traffic type

A manufacturing company is designing an Auto VPN network with 40 remote sites. The corporate data center MX is already at 70% CPU utilization from normal traffic. The architect needs to add a second hub to distribute the VPN load. Which MX should be selected as the second VPN hub?

The MX at the largest remote site with the most users

The oldest MX model currently in production at any site

The MX at the site with the highest internet bandwidth

A new MX appliance placed in a second data center or cloud region
