Foreign-Anchor Failover

fatalXerror — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 04:09:41 GMT

Hi Guys,

Some clarifications because I have a foreign-anchor controller in each of my 2x sites.

1. If my primary site foreign controller goes down, I expect that it will failover to the foreign controller in my secondary site. Will my primary site anchor controller creates a tunnel to the secondary site foreign controller? Or,

2. Will my secondary foreign controller use the secondary anchor controller regardless if the primary site anchor controller is still running?

Thank you.

Hi @Mark Elsen , are these still applicable for the newer controllers?
