Active/Active PFRv3 controllers (iWAN)

[Earl Granger IV]

Based on the documentation, we are only allowed to have one hub Master Controller per domain ID?  Is there a possibility to have active/active Hub MC's?  If there are 2 DC's and the MC at the HQ fails what options do we have besides the Branch MC determining traffic flow?

Thanks

You may already have your answer by now.  How I am planning to handle that is by using a 1000v as the Hub MC on a ESXi cluster.  That covers hardware failure. I will still have to ensure the configuration is backed up etc.

Hello.

If you want to a backup solution for Hub MC, here are two options:

 - run Hub MC as virtual router (with stateful switchover);

 - run backup MC, but put the same loopback in IGP with mask /31 (having /32 on primary device) - this is stateless switchover.

PS: if you have only 1 Hub and HubMC fails -> PFR won't optimize any traffic to/from Hub.

Vasilii,  I have another discussion that I opened two weeks ago.  Would you be able to comment on that one also.  If so, thank you.
