SD WAN GATEWAY SELECTION:-
SD WAN GATEWAY SELECTION:-
The selection of Primary gateway is actually based on location. If you spin up an edge in China, it will most likely pick Hong Kong. In order to "change" the primary gateway to Singapore, you can change the address of the edge to Singapore, and it will pick a gateway in Singapore.
Super Gateway is auto-selected based on the highest concentration of edges, and it's used as a last resort. Note, the concept of gateways is transparent to user. If you want to check the performance of using different gateway for VPN between two edges, one option is to use a customized pool with limited number of gateways (e.g. only Hong Kong and Frankfurt). However, I would recommend we leave it as is, so you know the actual performance in real life.
Note: the gateway selection is for the most part an automated process.
Default pool which is being used by this customer does not have any other gateways which are geographically nearer than these gateways.
-> However, we have two gateways vcg8-sin1 (singapore) and vcg7-hkg2 (Hong kong) on this VCO which could be the closest to the edge location.
-> Once you check and confirm this change, we could go ahead and change the gateway pool which includes the above two gateways along with the existing ones. This would cause a service impact as the edge would get disconnected and perform the check and connect to the new gateway.
