Backup-Tunnel

This scenario shows how to configure two VPN IPsec tunnels in a OSDx device. One of them acts as the main tunnel and the other one as a backup tunnel. As soon as the device detects the main tunnel is not reachable, it starts sending traffic trough the backup one.

Test Site-To-Site With Backup Tunnel

Description

VPN site-to-site configuration to create a backup tunnel that is activated when the main one is not reachable.

Scenario

Attention

This scenario uses the packet mark to select the VPN tunnel. The packet mark is assigned using a traffic policy that depends on an advisor status.

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces dummy dum0 address 10.3.0.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 80.0.0.2/24
