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.
