1. Can control the gateway validation tests other than the Azure portal?
106106

107107
Yes, you can use REST API to start and stop the Gateway resiliency validation tests.

1. What metrics or alerts are available to monitor during the test?
114114

115115
The purpose of configuring redundant connections is to ensure network resilience during outages. If a single circuit is utilized at more than 50% of its bandwidth, packet drops might occur. During validation tests, the **Test Status** tab helps monitor traffic through the connections. You should expect [alerts](monitor-expressroute.md#alerts) if they're configured, providing an opportunity to validate their effectiveness.

117117
For more information, see [Circuit utilization](monitor-expressroute-reference.md#category-circuit-traffic) or [Connection traffic](monitor-expressroute-reference.md#category-traffic) for metrics you can set up alerts on.

1. Can I control traffic on demand using the gateway resiliency validation tool?
120120

121121
Yes, the gateway resiliency validation tool allows you to control traffic on demand. This is useful for testing different traffic scenarios and ensuring your network can handle various failovers. It can also be used to validate connectivity after successful site migrations before disconnecting the redundant circuit.

1. Are there specific Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) policies for this feature?
124124

125125
Yes, there are specific RBAC policies to ensure that only authorized users with contributor access to the gateway can initiate downtime.

1. Does this feature work with FastPath and Private Link?
132128

133129
For FastPath, although the data path bypasses the gateway, the gateway still manages control plane activities like route management. During a disconnect between the ExpressRoute circuit and the ExpressRoute gateway, routes are withdrawn from the gateway. However, connectivity for the failover connection to FastPath and Private Link is maintained during the failover.

8. Is packet loss expected during this activity?

1. Is packet loss expected during this activity?
136132

137133
During the failover simulation, a brief connectivity disruption occurs as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) reestablishes. Performance tests using iPerf on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) up to 500 Mbps show no packet loss. However, in a real outage scenario, some packet loss occurs until the traffic successfully fails over.
