# Active-Active Routes

Two servers can both configure an active route one to the other. This arrangement is called an active-active configuration.

For example, server A specifies a route to server B, and B specifies a route to A. Either server can attempt to initiate the connection. This configuration results in only one connection; it does not result in redundant routes.

You can promote an active-passive route to an active-active route. To promote a route, use this command on the passive server:

       create route name url=url

The url argument is required, so that the server (where the route is being promoted) can connect to the other server if the route becomes disconnected. See `create route` for more information.

The promoted route behaves as a statically configured route—that is, it persists messages for durable subscribers, and stores its configuration in routes.conf, and administrators can modify its properties.
