Central management<br />

You can set up multiple appliances within your network and run them as nodes in a central<br />

management configuration. This section explains how to configure settings for a configuration of this<br />

type.<br />

As nodes in a central management configuration, the appliances have the following connections:<br />

• Each of the appliances has clients that direct their web traffic to it.<br />

• Appliances are joined in appliance groups that allow, for example, updates from one appliance to<br />

others. An appliance can be a member of different groups at the same time.<br />

After setting up an appliance, you can configure central management settings for it. You can then add<br />

other appliances that you want to be in the same group to the configuration. After adding an appliance,<br />

you can view and configure its system settings on the user interface of the appliance that the other<br />

appliance was added to.<br />

The following diagram shows a group of appliances in a central management configuration.<br />
