Ensuring Traffic Routing Through Active Gateway in Failover Setup

[vivekmauli14]

Hi all,

I have a setup where two gateways are configured in a failover group and are assigned the same Tier (Tier 1) when creating the Gateway Group. I would like to understand how traffic is routed in this scenario:

Is traffic always routed through the currently active gateway in the failover setup?
Or could it still be routed through either gateway despite the failover configuration?
What I need to ensure is that traffic is routed strictly through the Active Gateway only, even during tests such as a speed test. In other words, I want the inactive gateway to not be used at all.

Could someone guide me on the correct configuration to achieve this behavior? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Best,
VivekSP

Hi,

We have a network setup with two ISPs: Airtel and Spectra, both providing static and public IPs along with gateways. We have configured load balancing and failover with Airtel set as Tier 1 and Jio set as Tier 2.

Problem:
We are trying to ensure that speed test requests are routed through the correct gateway:

When Airtel is active, the speed test request should route through Airtel's gateway.
When Spectra is active, the speed test request should route through Spectra's gateway.
However, despite configuring the gateways in a failover setup with both gateways under Tier 1, this behavior is not occurring.

We would appreciate any advice or insights on making the speedtest request route through the correct active gateway, depending on which ISP is active.

Thanks!
