Peer Gateways

In installations that contain multiple Gateways, you can configure up to eight Gateways as peers in a group. You can control peers in the group from a local Gateway. The local Gateway is the Gateway on which you make changes to the configuration. In a deployment that uses Peer Gateways, any Gateway in the group can be used as the local Gateway.

Peer Gateways can:

• Provide redundancy in the event of a system failure

From the local Gateway, you can manage peers in the following ways: Show me

• Create a security policy, and apply it to all Peer Gateways
• Monitor the status of Peer Gateways
• Run consolidated reports throughout the Peer Group.

How do I...

• Add and manage peers?
