One-To-Many Clusters<br />

About this chapter This chapter describes the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> clustering features that<br />

allow you to manage multiple <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> Security Appliances.<br />

This chapter covers the following topics:<br />

“Overview” on page 15-1<br />

“Example scenario using a One-To-Many cluster” on page 15-4<br />

“Configuring One-To-Many” on page 15-5<br />

“Understanding the One-To-Many tree structure” on page 15-13<br />

Overview If your organization uses two or more <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s, the One-To-<br />

Many feature allows you to easily manage your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s at one<br />

time. Changes you make in the Admin Console to your primary<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> are automatically replicated to each secondary<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. The changes are made to each secondary <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong> immediately, in real time.<br />

You are most likely to use One-To-Many if you are managing several<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s that are located in the same network, which is the<br />

case if you are using load balancing hardware. This scenario is<br />

depicted in Figure 15-1.<br />

Note: When implementing One-To-Many, the preferred setup is to configure each<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> with a dedicated cluster burb, allowing all communication between cluster<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s to be contained within its own burb.<br />
