a. DNS must be configured by connecting directly to the secondary/standby. All other<br />

features listed in this table are configured using the HA cluster connection. To connect<br />

directly to the secondary/standby, you will need to add a new <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to the<br />

Admin Console using the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>’s actual IP address, and then connect to the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> directly. (This is because the secondary/standby is removed from the<br />

Admin Console tree branch when it is successfully added to the HA cluster.) For information<br />

on adding a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to the Admin Console, see “Connecting directly to a<br />

secondary/standby” on page 511.<br />

Once you have configured an HA cluster, the HA cluster will be represented in<br />

the Admin Console tree by a single <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> icon. When you connect to<br />

the HA cluster, you will use the HA cluster common IP address that you<br />

created when you configured HA. This allows you to manage both <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong>s by connecting to the HA cluster.<br />

Important: If you connect directly to a single <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> outside <strong>of</strong> the HA<br />

cluster, changes you make to synchronized areas for that <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> will be<br />

overwritten by the HA cluster configuration. For information on when and how to<br />

connect directly to a single <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> that is part <strong>of</strong> an HA cluster, see<br />

“Connecting directly to a secondary/standby” on page 511.<br />
