Requires **CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP** permission on the server to create an availability group and `sysadmin` to fail over a distributed availability group.

## Set the endpoint listeners to listen to all IP addresses
## Set the database mirroring endpoints to listen on all IP addresses

Make sure the endpoints can communicate between the different availability groups in the distributed availability group. If one availability group is set to a specific network on the endpoint, the distributed availability group doesn't work properly. On each server that hosts a replica in the distributed availability group, set the listener to listen on all IP addresses (`LISTENER_IP = ALL`).

### Create the primary availability group on the first cluster

Create an availability group on the first Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC). In this example, the availability group is named `ag1` for the database `db1`. The primary replica of the primary availability group is known as the **global primary** in a distributed availability group. Server1 is the global primary in this example.
