Chapter 3: Synchronizing Multiple Units

YNCHRONIZING

The R3000 can function in one of three modes—"Stand

Alone" mode, "Source" mode, or "Target" mode—based on

the setup within your organization. In a multi-R3000 server

environment, all R3000 units should be set up with the same

user profile data, so that no matter which R3000 server a

user's PC accesses on the network, that user's Internet

usage is appropriately filtered and blocked. The act of

configuring multiple R3000 servers to share the same user

profile information is known as synchronization.

The synchronization feature allows an administrator to

control multiple R3000 units without the need to configure

each unit independently. R3000 synchronization uses a

source/target configuration, in which one R3000 is desig-

nated as the source server on which all configuration entries

are made. All other R3000 units on the network are config-

ured as target servers to the source R3000 unit, receiving

updates from the source server.
