Replication Partners Options
You can specify the CiscoSecure ACS servers for which a Cisco Secure ACS
performs as a primary Cisco Secure ACS server or as a secondary
Cisco Secure ACS server. The options that control the Cisco Secure ACS servers
with which a Cisco Secure ACS server is involved for replication appear in the
Replication Partners table on the CiscoSecure Database Replication page and are
as follows:
•AAA Server—This list represents the AAA servers configured in the AAA
Servers table in Network Configuration to which a Cisco Secure ACS server
does not send replicated components.
•Replication—This list represents the Cisco Secure ACS servers configured
in the AAA Servers table in Network Configuration to which the
Cisco Secure ACS server does send replicated components. These are
Cisco Secure ACS servers for which the Cisco Secure ACS server you are
configuring acts as a primary Cisco Secure ACS server.
•Accept replication from—The Cisco Secure ACS server selected in this list
is the Cisco Secure ACS server from which the current Cisco Secure ACS
server does accept replicated components. If Any Known CiscoSecure ACS
for Windows 2000/NT Server is selected, the Cisco Secure ACS server
accepts replicated components from any Cisco Secure ACS server
configured in the AAA Servers table in Network Configuration. This list
defines whether this server acts as a secondary Cisco Secure ACS server for
a single Cisco Secure ACS server or all Cisco Secure ACS identified in the
AAA Servers table.
Note Cisco Secure ACS does not support bidirectional database replication. A
secondary Cisco Secure ACS server receiving replicated components verifies
that the primary Cisco Secure ACS server is not on its Replication list. If not,
the secondary Cisco Secure ACS server accepts the replicated components. If
so, it rejects the components.
For more information about the AAA Servers table in Network Configuration, see
the “AAA Server Configuration” section on page 4-15.
