Communications—This column indicates whether a remote<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is responding. A value <strong>of</strong> Up indicates that<br />

communication is available. A value <strong>of</strong> Down indicates that the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is <strong>of</strong>fline or otherwise not responding.<br />

Policy State—This column indicates whether the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

policy is synchronized with the primary. A value <strong>of</strong> Up to date<br />

indicates that the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is synchronized with the primary<br />

configuration. A value <strong>of</strong> Not up to date indicates that the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is not synchronized with the primary.<br />

Changing the primary in a One-To-Many cluster<br />

Under certain circumstances, you may need to designate a secondary<br />

as the primary (for example, if the primary will be down indefinitely).<br />

To transfer primary status to a secondary, follow the steps below.<br />

Note: When you change the primary, all <strong>of</strong> the secondaries will be rebooted.<br />

1. In the Admin Console, add a new <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> icon for the secondary<br />

that you want to become the primary by clicking the New Firewall<br />

icon and entering the appropriate information. (This is necessary<br />

because when you register a secondary to a One-To-Many cluster, the<br />

icon for the secondary is removed by default.)<br />

Note: For information on adding a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to the Admin Console, see<br />

“Adding a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to the Admin Console” on page 2-4.<br />

2. Connect directly to the secondary by clicking on the secondary that<br />

you added in the previous step. You will receive a warning message<br />

stating that you should only modify information on the primary. Ignore<br />

this message.<br />

3. Select the One To Many Management option at the top <strong>of</strong> the secondary<br />

tree. The One To Many Management window appears.<br />

4. In the One To Many Cluster Member window, select Modify Primary<br />

Address. The Modify Primary Address window appears. See “About the<br />

Modify Primary Address window” on page 15-11.<br />

This window allows you to select a new <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to take over<br />

as the primary.<br />

1. In the Cluster Burb drop-down list, select the cluster burb.<br />

2. In the One to Many Primary IP Address drop-down list, select the cluster<br />

IP address for this <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />
