This article walks you through the steps to add and remove a virtual network gateway for a pre-existing virtual network (virtual network). The steps for this configuration apply to VNets that were created using the Resource Manager deployment model for an ExpressRoute configuration. For more information about virtual network gateways and gateway configuration settings for ExpressRoute, see [About virtual network gateways for ExpressRoute](expressroute-about-virtual-network-gateways.md).

The gateway migration experience allows you to deploy a second virtual network gateway in the same GatewaySubnet. Azure migrates your configurations from the old gateway to the new one. Both gateways run simultaneously during migration, minimizing disruption – though brief connectivity interruptions may still occur.

After migration, the old gateway and its connections are deleted, and the new gateway is tagged with **CreatedBy: GatewaySKUMigration** to identify it as a migrated resource and shouldn’t be deleted.

1. **Validate**: Check that all resources are in a succeeded state. If any prerequisites aren't met, validation fails and migration can't proceed.

2. **Prepare**: Azure creates a new virtual network gateway, public IP, and connections. This step can take up to 45 minutes. You can specify a name for the new gateway, or Azure will add **_migrated** to the original name by default. During preparation, the existing gateway is locked to prevent changes. If you need to stop the migration, you can **abort** at this stage, which deletes the new gateway and connections.
