The R2 branch users (R2B1 and R2B2) will be added to R1’s global
directory once the user directory databases resynchronize, either
automatically or manually (see Manually Resynchronizing the Global
Directory on page 45).
To add remote branch users in R1B1 and R1B2) to the global directory for
R2, execute steps 1 through 10 while logged in to R2 and enter the
appropriate IP addresses in steps 3 and 4.
Adding Global Directory Redundancy for a Branch Office
Because database replication is automatically enabled between a regional
office (R1) and its associated branches (R1B1 and R1B2), the global
directory at each location (region or branch) includes users at the other
sites. For example, the global directory at R1B1 includes users provisioned
on R1 and R1B2.
If the region (R1) fails, the local branches cannot receive global directory
updates. If database replication is enabled between two regions (R1 and
R2), you can configure a branch ((R1B1) to receive updates from the other
region (R2) if the local region (R1) fails.
