Synchronization Setup

36
C 3: S
HAPTER YNCHRONIZING
To set up synchronization on an R3000 unit, a selection
must be made in Setup window from the System section of
the R3000 console to specify whether the R3000 will func-
tion as a source server or as a target server. This selection
affects the contents that display in the Setup window.
NOTE: This version of synchronization only supports the use of
unique IP addresses throughout a network.

Setting up a Source Server

When setting up an R3000 to function as a source server,
an IP address must be entered for each target R3000 unit.
This entry identifies the location of each target unit on the
network.
WARNING: If an R3000 server is set up in the Source mode with
a Network Address Translation (NAT) device between the source
and target server(s), be sure that ports 26262, 26268, and 88 are
open on the source server. This setup is required so that the
source server can communicate with the target server(s).

Setting up a Target Server

When setting up an R3000 to function as a target server, the
IP address of the source server must be entered to identify
the source server on the network. This IP address is used
for security purposes, as the target server will only acknowl-
edge and apply changes it receives from the designated
source server. Additionally, this IP address is used by the
target server to identify the source server from which it
should receive its running filter configuration in the event of
a reboot.
