Second backup endpoint for IPSEC tunnel

L0 Member

How do I best configure a backup IPSEC endpoint in an IPSEC tunnel if the primary endpoint goes down?

NOTE : Palo Alto on both sides

you can use an FQDN instead of an IP and then rely on dynamic DNS to switch the tunnel over, or you can create a second ike gateway and ipsec tunnel with secondary IP addresses (2 active tunnels) and use policy based forwarding for example to pick the preferred tunnel

It would be more convenient to do it using IP addresses (2 active tunnels), but when the tunnels are down, will it automatically switch to the other one or do I have to do it manually?

Is there a document I can review about this?
