Note: This procedure will not work with MAT.
1 Define a group that contains all the alias IP addresses and redirected
addresses used by your Sidewinder G2s.
2 Use the group name in the rule rather than the specific IP address.
The group name will replace the unique IP alias or a redirected address in
the rule.
In the following example, there are three Sidewinder G2s protecting a local
network. Network traffic is load balanced across the Sidewinder G2s using a
load balancing tool such as Radware FireProof or F5 Networks BIG-IP ®
Controller, similar to the configuration depicted in Figure 199.
Because each Sidewinder G2 will be configured almost identically, the One-To-
Many feature simplifies the management process. Any configuration changes
you make from the primary Sidewinder G2 will automatically be implemented
on each of the secondary Sidewinder G2s, ensuring that all of your Sidewinder
G2s remain synchronized.
Example scenario requirements
This scenario requires the following:
• Two or more Sidewinder G2s running at the same version.
• A load balancing tool such as a Radware FireProof or F5 Networks BIG-IP ®
Controller.
• The IP addresses used to access each Sidewinder G2 must all reside in a
burb of the same name. For example, in the sample network configuration
shown in Figure 200, if you are accessing the Sidewinder G2s from the
internal network, all IP addresses used to access the Sidewinder G2 must
reside in the burb named internal.
