| Description | This article describes how to create an IPsec Aggregate using FortiManager. | 
| Scope | FortiManager, FortiGate, VPN. | 
| Solution | IPsec Aggregate allows grouping multiple IPsec VPN tunnels into a single logical interface for load balancing and redundancy. 
 There are three methods to set up IPsec Aggregate using FortiManager: 
 
 Note: The following steps show the configuration required for setting up an IPsec aggregate. Other IPsec configuration details for phase1/phase2 are not covered in this article. 
 Option 1: Use IPsec Template. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Option 2: Create Tunnels on Device Database. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Note: Script can also be used to add the config to either the Device Database or directly to the FortiGate. Refer to the document: Scripts. 
 Option 3: Using CLI Template. 
 
 config vpn ipsec phase1-interface edit "<TUNNEL_1>" set interface "<INTERFACE>" set proposal <Algo - for example: aes256-sha256> set remote-gw <REMOTE_GW> set psksecret <PSK> set aggregate-member enable next edit "<TUNNEL_2>" set interface "<INTERFACE>" set proposal <Algo - for example: aes256-sha256> set remote-gw <REMOTE_GW> set psksecret <PSK> set aggregate-member enable next end 
 config vpn ipsec phase2-interface edit "<TUNNEL_1>" set phase1name "<TUNNEL_1>" set proposal <Algo - for example: aes256-sha256> set auto-negotiate enable next edit "<TUNNEL_2>" set phase1name "<TUNNEL_2>" set proposal <Algo - for example: aes256-sha256> set auto-negotiate enable next end 
 config system ipsec-aggregate edit "<IPSEC_AGG_NAME>" set member "<TUNNEL_1>" "<TUNNEL_2>" next end
