IPSEC VPN failover

Has anyone setup a failover for IPSEC VPN connections within a Fortigate?  I'm running firmware version 5.2.3 and have two ISPs. 

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

You mean "In case ISP1 failes try to establish the IPSec connection through ISP2"?

Yes.  I researched and saw that Cisco ASAs have the ability to do that.

I would suggest you to configure the route based VPN.

Create a IPSEC policy for each ISP (assuming remote site also having two ISP) and play with routing.

 

 

If Peer side VPN device has just one ISP then configure your Fortigate device  as backup IPSEC interface only (You need to do it via CLI).
