Failover TEP

Failover TEP is used to protect site-to-site VPN traffic that moves through the public networks. The endpoints for tunnels are located in SGs. Up to four head-end devices can be configured to backup a specific security gateway.

Upon completion of the Failover TEP configuration, the VPNmanager will download identical VPN configuration to the alternate head-end devices. When a remote device fails at the primary head-end, the alternate head-end device will provide the same VPN services.

The most desirable configuration would include the same devices; however, this is not required as long as each device has a license to service the number of VPNs configured on the primary head-end device. For example, if the head-end device is an SG203 and supports 8000 tunnels, the alternate head-end devices should be SG203 support 8000 tunnels. If the head-end device is a VSU100, the alternated head-end devices should be VSU100s. For more information regarding configuring VSUs with a similar Failover TEP configuration, see Resilient Tunnel on page 212.

Note:

Beginning with VPNmanager 3.6, Failover TEP is configurable on security gateways running VPNos 4.5.
