In scenarios where only a portion of the traffic between your on-premises networks and an Azure virtual network (VNet) requires encryption, you can choose from the following configuration options.

**Option 1 – Traffic selection via IPsec only**

To ensure predictable routing, advertise different on premises IP network prefixes over ExpressRoute and over the IPsec tunnels. Advertise only the on premises prefixes that do not require encryption through the ExpressRoute circuit, and configure the IPsec tunnels to advertise only the prefixes that do require encryption.

**Option 2 – Route precedence using more specific network prefixes**

100100
Advertise more specific (longer subnet masks) on‑premises IP network prefixes over the IPsec tunnels than the on-premises prefixes you advertise over the ExpressRoute circuit. Because Azure and on‑premises routers both select routes based on longest prefix match (LPM), these more specific prefixes learned through the IPsec tunnel will take precedence over the less specific prefixes learned through ExpressRoute. This ensures that traffic destined for those networks follows the encrypted IPsec path rather than the unencrypted ExpressRoute path.

These considerations apply regardless of whether static or dynamic routing is used for the IPsec tunnels.

Avoid advertising the same on-premises IP network prefixes simultaneously over both ExpressRoute circuit and IPsec tunnels. If the on premises routing policies give to the IPsec tunnels higher priority, outbound traffic from on-premises to Azure will prefer the IPsec path. However, Azure typically prefers routes learned from ExpressRoute Gateway when identical prefixes are received from both connections.

This mismatch results in asymmetric routing, where traffic flows outbound through one path (IPsec) but returns through another (ExpressRoute). Flows with asymmetric transit can lead to packet drops, especially on stateful on-premises devices.

To create a VPN gateway with High Bandwidth tunnels for your virtual network, follow these steps. High Bandwidth tunnels are supported only on the **VpnGw5AZ** SKU.
