How to Configure Application-Level Path Selection in Meraki SDWAN

Access the Meraki Dashboard: Log in to the Meraki Dashboard and navigate to the Security & SD-WAN section for the MX device.

Configure SD-WAN Settings:

• Under the SD-WAN settings, enable Traffic Shaping and Path Selection options.
• Define which applications you want to prioritize or route through specific WAN links (e.g., VoIP, video conferencing).

Set Application-Based Routing Policies:

• Create policies that define how specific applications should behave based on WAN performance metrics (e.g., use MPLS for VoIP unless latency exceeds a threshold, then failover to broadband).

Monitor Traffic and Adjust:

• Use the Traffic Analytics in the Meraki Dashboard to monitor real-time traffic patterns and application performance. Adjust routing and shaping policies based on actual usage.
