backup ipsec tunnels
Description
I have a topology in my company H have a problem
we have two builds and want to create two tunnels but one of them is a backup tunnel
I have two wan links one of these is very stable and important we want to config priority in this tunnel
this is config file ipsec.conf
config setup

strictcrlpolicy="no"
conn %default

leftsendcert="always"

dpdaction = "restart"
dpddelay = "30s"
dpdtimeout = "900s"
with this config, two tunnels up and traffic flow over one tunnel random but I want flow traffic over the only main tunnel and only switch to a backup tunnel that main link be down
I want a build backup tunnel for my main tunnel

History
#1 Updated by kaveh mollaei about 1 year ago
I want Hight availability between two tunnels over my links (I have two Wan links )
I want to established two tunnels with the same subnet and that one of them be back up another and
only when traffic over the backup tunnel that the main tunnel is down
#2 Updated by kaveh mollaei about 1 year ago
I want set priority on two tunnels that means my main tunnel has high prioriy and my backup tunnel has low periority
