IPSEC as a backup for MPLS link

Hi,

i tired to setup IPSEC as backup for the MPLS link, so i made all the config in Branch Office device & i kept Head Office device with the default config.

This is my Branch Office Devis config:

console> system link_failover show
Interface       Tunnel                  Protocol        Host                Port    Tunnel-Type
Port2           SEIGE_IPSEC             PING            172.16.160.254      0       ipsec

console> system route_precedence show
Routing Precedence:
1.  Static routes
2.  VPN routes
3.  Policy routes

console> show network static-route

Destination/Netmask             Gateway         Metric    Interface
===================================================================

172.16.160.0/255.255.252.0      10.16.40.1      0         Port2
172.16.160.254/255.255.255.255  10.16.40.1      0

 

When the MPLS link get down, both sites start using IPSEC after 60 sec and everything works like expected.

But when i bring back the MPLS link, the brach office device start using MPLS link in opposite the Head office device keep using IPSEC link.

So i tried to made the same config on Head office device, after that the device start using MPLS when the link get up again.

 

My question: Do i have to configure both devices for IPSEC as failovers or only configure one device ( in case i made a mistake ) ?

Thanks.
