Cisco Meraki MX security appliances support high availability through a feature called warm spare, which uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). When two MX appliances are configured in warm spare mode, one acts as the active device and the other as a standby. VRRP advertisements monitor the health of the active device.

If the active appliance fails, the standby device automatically takes over routing and firewall functions, ensuring minimal disruption. This design is easy to configure and provides seamless failover and redundancy, essential for business continuity at the branch level.

Thus, the correct answer is C, as VRRP-based warm spare mode is the officially supported method for achieving high availability with MX appliances.

Cisco Meraki's architecture uses an out-of-band control plane. If a device loses connection to the Meraki Cloud, client data traffic continues to flow locally and normally, while management and monitoring features are paused until connectivity is restored. This behavior is explicitly confirmed by Cisco documentation stating that during cloud disconnect, user traffic is unaffected and only configuration/monitoring stops.
