RISKFILTER CLUSTER WIZARD

The RiskFilter Cluster Wizard provides a way to synchronize several RisKFilter appliances with a single policy. It also allows for a single administration interface and logging storage center. Once a RiskFilter cluster is configured, you will need to set up load balancing for the mail processing nodes in the cluster. The appliance can be configured into three modes:

Master – A server that gathers all logging information, the master may or may not process spam.

Slave – A server that processes e-mail and reports everything to a master server.

Original configuration – The configuration that is in place before you make any changes to RiskFilter. To use the Cluster wizard:

1 Click the RiskFilter Cluster Wizard module in the RiskFilter tab.

2 Choose a running mode from the list box then click Start.

3 The wizard will ask you for specific information, depending on what type of mode you have asked for:

Configure Slave – You will be asked to specify:

Slave IP – the IP address of the slave. This machine must bind to an interface on this RiskFilter appliance.

Master IP – the IP address of the master server to report to.

Configure Master – You will be asked to specify:

Master IP – the IP address of the master server. This machine must bind to an interface on this RiskFilter appliance.

Slave IPs – the list of slave IPs that will be reporting to this master.

Master processes E-mail – select this if you want the master to process e-mail. This will increase the master load substantially.

Restore Original Configuration – restores the configuration that was in existence before you configured this machine to be a Master or Slave.
