XG to XG RED tunnel with multiple WAN

jamesharper

We have a RED tunnel between two XGs. The client (initiator) of the tunnel has two WAN connections - one as Primary and the other as Backup. I would like for the RED tunnel connection to be made over the Backup WAN link, and then to fail over to the Primary link in the event that the Backup link goes down.

Is it possible to create a route to do this?

Thanks

James

    I think i've solved it.

    I want this:

    • WAN1 - primary for all WAN traffic, backup for RED connection
    • WAN2 - backup for all WAN traffic, primary for RED connection

    So I have set WAN2 as the primary gateway, which means RED connections go out that by default.

    Then I have created a LAN -> WAN rule which specifies WAN1 as the primary gateway, and WAN2 as the secondary.

    WAN traffic works as expected.

    The RED connection correctly fails over from WAN2 to WAN1 when WAN2 goes down, but did not fail back in the 20 minutes I was watching it for.

    I had also tried adding a static route to the RED server via WAN2, but because "gateway down" doesn't cause an "interface down" condition, the static route remained in place when the gateway went down. I guess this is the expected behavior. It would be nice to be able to tie routes to gateways.

    It would also be nice to be able to bind a RED connection to a gateway. Then I could have two RED connections and use OSPF to detect link failure.
