Gateway Network Connection Faulted

I am trying to connect 2 Gateways on the same local network. I have created an Outgoing Connection on both Gateways with the IP address of the remote server. I am not using SSL and the Connection Policy is Unrestricted.

The following message is in the Connection Events "10.20.10.228:8088 connection status has been updated from Connecting to Faulted: Remote server rejected web socket: Duplicate connection".

Any guidance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I've only done this once, and it was years ago, but...

do you not want this:

Gateway A: -> OutGoing | -> InBound Gateway B

Do your Gateways have the same name (this normally happens when cloning VMs or something similar)? The Duplicate Connection error is normally caused by names being the same on connected Gateways (even if they have different IP addresses)

Thanks for the reply. Each gateway has a unique name. Do you have any other thoughts on how to resolve the issue?

Did you create them by cloning VMs or some other filesystem level operation? There's a .uuid file that uniquely identifies each system in the gateway network; even if the names are different, if the IDs are the same connections will not be allowed.

PGriffith you are correct. The uuids were the same. I deleted the uuid and then restarted the gateway. Ignition then created a new uuid. This solved the problem.
