Which is the best monitoring option for redundant IPSec Tunnel?

Hello.

I'm trying to configure dual ISP and automatic IPSec tunnel failover.

Network diagram looks like picture in here(https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClFiCAK).

And IPSec peer devices are Fortigate.

Not like above article, I didn't make two virual router and I use static route monitoring feature to primary route.

I'm thinking to use tunnel monitoring instead static route monitor.(because of rekey issue)

Is it possble to use tunnel monitoring with Fortigate device?

And can I just configure tunnel monitoring without making additional virtual router?

@yhlee1,

Yes, you can enable tunnel monitoring even if the peer device isn't PAN and you don't need to create any additional VRs to get the feature to work properly.
