FAILURE MULTIPLE GATEWAYS FAILOVER

Very good to all!!!

Objective:
It is needed that the “SSL VPN” connections of the clients, are allowed to connect through “Sophos Connect” through the main_gateway, and in case of failure of this, they can connect through the backup_gateway.

Case:
main_gateway: x.x.x.x
backup_gateway: y.y.y.y

We have the following script .pro :
[
{
“gateway_order": ‘latency’,
“gateway": [ ‘x.x.x.x’, ‘y.y.y.y’ ],
“vpn_portal_port": 8443,
“otp": false,
“can_save_credentials": true,
“check_remote_availability": true,
“run_logon_script": true.
}
]


When the main_gateway is active, the connection works correctly through it.


However, when we simulate the main_gateway is down and the backup_gateway comes into operation, we get the following problem when connecting the VPN:

We get the error: “No response from gateway: [principal_gateway] 8443 tcp-client”.
Any idea why it is trying for the x.x.x.x if it is “down”.
