VPN connection to DC and DR

ohadfaibish · ‎01-27-2021

Hello,

I'm looking for solution that we have a s2s VPN connection between site A to our DC

We want to add a DR on OCI ( oracle cloud) and want to connect it also by s2s VPN and to make this connection as backup.

If the connection/FW on DC side will go down the VPN will change to the DR and if the connection will go up again in the DC it will go back.

Adding a visio

What is the best way to make it happened?

We have it here this way with 21 shop Sites.

Each has two S2S IPsec to HQ and redundncy is made by redundant routes with different prio/distance.

Primarily traffic behaves like electric current - it always takes the way of the lowest cost per default.

So it will take the S2S with lowest routig prio/distance if available. If that is not available it will take the S2S with the next highest routing prio/distance until the other is back available.

Works fine here.

why shouldn't that work. The only difference is that only one S2S goes to your side and the other to the cloud. Makes absolutely no difference for routing.
