Example of an alternative gateway with prioritized groups

The customer "Telekom" uses the primary gateway 1.1.1.1 and the further gateway 1.1.1.2 without any particular group associations. Also, the further gateways, gateway groups and gateway mappings are specified under VPN > General > Remote gateways as follows:

Figure 1. Remote gateways
Figure 2. Further remote gateways
Figure 3. Gateway groups
Figure 4. Gateway mappings

This results in the following levels:

Priority Group 1 Group 2
0 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2 GRP_LONDON
1 GRP_PARIS  
This addresses the gateways in the following order:
  1. Priority 0: A group is selected at random because in the table Further remote gateways, the column Begin with is set to "Random":
    • 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2 (primary gateway and additional gateway, which does not belong to any group)
    • 1.2.3.1, 1.2.3.2, 1.2.3.3 (GRP_LONDON) beginning with the first gateway in this group
  2. Priority 1: A group is selected randomly because in the table Further remote gateways, the column Begin with is set to "Random":
    • 1.3.1.1, 1.3.1.2 (GRP_PARIS) beginning with the last gateway in this group to be reached successfully.
