ECTION HAPTER
By default, the Synchronization menu includes the Setup
option that lets you specify the Web Filter server's function
on the network: whether it will be a stand alone box, or
whether it will send profile/library setting changes to—or
receive such setting changes from—another Web Filter. If
the Web Filter is set up to either send or receive profile/
library setting changes in the aforementioned manner, the
menu option for Status also becomes available in the menu.
If the Web Filter is set up to send profile/library setting
changes, that Web Filter will function as a Centralized
Management Console, and thus the CMC Management
topic becomes available in the navigation panel.
NOTES: For an overview on synchronization, see Chapter 3:
Synchronizing Multiple Units, from the Introductory Section.
If synchronizing a Web Filter with a WFR, see http://
www.m86security.com/software/8e6/hlp/r3000/files/
1system_sync_versions.html for software version compatibility.
WARNING: This version of synchronization only supports the use
of unique IP addresses throughout a network.
