-VyOS High Availability Walkthrough
-==================================
+#############################
+High Availability Walkthrough
+#############################
 
 This document walks you through a complete HA setup of two VyOS machines. This design is based on a VM as the primary router, and a physical machine as a backup, using VRRP, BGP, OSPF and conntrack sharing.
 
 The aim of this document is to walk you through setting everything up so you end up at a point where you can reboot any machine and not lose more than a few seconds worth of connectivity.
 
 Design
-------
+======
 
 This is based on a real life, in production design. One of the complex issues is ensuring you have redundant data INTO your network.
 We do this with a pair of Cisco Nexus switches, and using Virtual PortChannels that are spanned across them.
 This as an added bonus, also allows for complete switch failure without an outage. How you achieve this yourself is left as an exercise to the reader but our setup is documented here.

 Note about VMware
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+-----------------
 
 Our implementation uses VMware's Distributed Port Groups, which allows VMware to use LACP. This is a part of the ENTERPRISE licence, and is not available on a Free licence. If you are implementing this and do not have access to DPGs, you should not use VMware, and use some other virtualization platform instead.
 
 Basic Setup (via console)
--------------------------
+=========================
 
 Create your router1 VM so it is able to withstand a VM Host failing, or a network link failing. Using VMware, this is achieved by enabling vSphere DRS, vSphere Availability, and creating a Distributed Port Group that uses LACP.

 VRRP Configuration
-------------------
+==================

 We are setting up VRRP so that it does NOT fail back when a machine returns into service, and it prioritizes router1 over router2.

 Testing
-^^^^^^^
+-------
 
 The simplest way to test is to look at the connection tracking stats on the standby hardware router with the command ``show conntrack-sync statistics``. The numbers should be very close to the numbers on the primary router.
 
 When you have both routers up, you should be able to establish a connection from a NAT'ed machine out to the internet, reboot the active machine, and that connection should be preserved, and will not drop out.
 
 OSPF Over WireGuard
--------------------
+===================
 
 Wireguard doesn't have the concept of an up or down link, due to its design. This complicates AND simplifies using it for network transport, as for reliable state detection you need to use SOMETHING to detect when the link is down.
 
 If you use a routing protocol itself, you solve two problems at once.  This is only a basic example, and is provided as a starting point.
 
 Configure Wireguard
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+-------------------
 
 There is plenty of instructions and documentation on setting up Wireguard. The only important thing you need to remember is to only use one WireGuard interface per OSPF connection.
