Redundant Azure ExpressRoute Connection on v4 API

When setting up an Azure ExpressRoute, how is the redundant connection configured? Do I create 2 separate connections, and have one be redundant.priority PRIMARY, and the other SECONDARY?
What's the difference between the "redundancy" in the connection, and the "redundancy" under the aside/zside port configuration?

    Do a post to `/fabric/v4/connections bulk instead`
    Then include both connections in the payload:
    {
    "data": [
    {
    }
    ]
    }

    I thought I could edit previous post...
    Your payload should look something like this:
    {
    "data": [
    {
    ...
    "redundancy": {
    "group": "757efa1e-ceb8-423c-8730-d85cf82c46c3",
    "priority": "PRIMARY"
    }
    ...
    },
    {
    ...
    "redundancy": {
    "group": "757efa1e-ceb8-423c-8730-d85cf82c46c3",
    "priority": "SECONDARY"
    }
    ...
    }
    ]
    }

    Note that for the "group" I have generated a random uuid and assigned it for both.
    This worked well for me.
