I was watching the "setting up Rendundancy" video. Now, how is he able to have 2 gateway tabs? So I did install the designer and I was able to add another gateway with a different IP but when I change the Local Host gateway to master even the other gateway changes as well into master. What did i do wrong? Also for some reason, in the designer I was able to change the name from "ïgnition-Laptop-4kk9530A" to "Local" why doesn't it show it on the open gateway? ![Screenshot (143)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/a/caf4b92e12360a944f2a9c068d392da4cfccda68.png) ---

"Ignition redundancy supports a 2-node system, meaning there are two copies of the Gateway running. One node is the Master Gateway and the other is the Backup Gateway or backup node. All projects, Gateway settings, etc., are shared between nodes. The master node manages the configuration then replicates it to the backup node. " This is from here: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Ignition+Redundancy](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Ignition+Redundancy) ~~The reason the backup gateway looks the same is because it is an exact copy of the first one.~~ ---

How confident are you that `localhost:8088` and `192.168.20.15:8088` are not the same gateway (being accessed by different interfaces)? You should see a notation at the top of the gateway webpage if the role is not independent, e.g.: ![2022-12-07 at 8.15 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/7/179f7c415b979bfe8b9ad613ce6ed658f7cd163a.png) ---

I am aware that I need to set up one gateway as a master and one as a backup as shown in the video but when I set the Local gateway to master, even the other gateway goes to master without me setting it up(it does it automatically). If I switch the other gateway to back up even the Local goes automatically to backup. Any change in the redundancy status for some reason is replicated automatically in both of the gateways so I cannot set up a master and backup. Is there a solution to that ? ![Screenshot (144)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/8/08666c73b07a5919d05154638c5472bcf0bd1959.png) ![Screenshot (145)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/d/4dba427df05068c4b5aac0b686cdcf967f5a7048.png) ---

Could you provide a screenshot of the Environment card located on the Status \> Overview webpage? This should show the detected NICs. ---

You aren't looking at two different gateways. You just have two browsers open looking at the same gateway. ---

alright, so I guess creating a gateway from the designer is not the way to go. So how do I create a different gateway ? cannot find it anywhere. ---

It's best to just start a new thread rather than resurrect an old one. If you haven't gone through Inductive University, I highly suggest going through the videos. In particular, this video walks you through setting up redundancy: > **[Setting Up Redundancy Video at Inductive University](https://inductiveuniversity.com/videos/setting-up-redundancy/8.1)** > > Learn how to configure Redundancy across two different Ignition Gateways. ---

Start with a 2nd computer to hold the 2nd gateway and do an ignition gateway install there. 🤷‍♂️
