A company is deploying a vMX in routed mode within a VMware environment. The vMX will connect to a transit VLAN that carries traffic to the rest of the corporate network. What must be configured to ensure the vMX can route traffic between its LAN interface and the transit VLAN?

A trunk port on the virtual switch carrying the transit VLAN to the vMX.

A VPN tunnel from the vMX to the transit VLAN's router.

A static route on the vMX pointing to the transit VLAN's gateway.

A VLAN interface on the vMX for the transit VLAN, with appropriate IP addressing and routing.

A network engineer is planning to deploy a virtual MX (vMX) appliance in a public cloud environment. The organization needs the vMX to provide the same security and routing functions as a physical MX, and the vMX will be managed from the Meraki dashboard. Which deployment mode describes this scenario?

Virtual appliance mode, where the vMX runs as a software instance on a supported hypervisor and is managed as a normal MX device from the Meraki dashboard.

Hybrid mode, where the vMX runs partly on customer hardware and partly on Meraki cloud infrastructure to share processing load.

Containerized mode, where the vMX runs as a lightweight container managed by Kubernetes and is only used for cloud-native workloads.

Cloud-hosted mode, where Meraki hosts the vMX in its own data center and the customer only configures it through the dashboard.

What is a key consideration when using a vMX in an AutoVPN deployment?

The vMX uses the same AutoVPN configuration as physical MX appliances.

The vMX must be the hub in the AutoVPN topology.

The vMX requires a static public IP address for AutoVPN.

The vMX cannot participate in AutoVPN if there are physical MX appliances in the network.

What is the minimum license type required to deploy a virtual MX appliance in a Meraki organization?

Any license that includes MX features
