Use a Backup File to Set up a Source Server

In the event of a source server failure, the global adminis-

trator should designate a target server as the new source

1. Log in to the console of the target server designated as

the new source server.

2. In the System section of the console, go to the Backup/

Restore window and create a backup of the current

running configuration on that server.

3. Download the server's configuration to a safe storage

place until it is needed.

4. In the LAN Settings window (accessible via System >

Network), set up IP addresses to be the same as on the

source server that is being replaced.

5. Go to the Reboot window (accessible via System >

Control) and reboot the server.

6. Once the Web Filter is rebooted, reconnect to the

console and access the Backup/Restore window.

7. Upload the last good configuration from the failed source

server to the new source server. When the configuration

file is uploaded and available in the Web Filter console,

that file should be used for restoring configuration

8. After the restoration of configuration settings is applied

and a quick reload takes place, this Web Filter will now

function as the source server in the Web Filter cluster.
