Synchronization
Setup:
To set up synchronization on a Web Filter unit, a selection must
be made in Setup window from the System section of the Web Filter
Administrator console to specify whether the Web Filter will function
as a source server or as a target server. This selection affects
the contents that display in the Setup window.
NOTE: This version of synchronization only supports the use of unique
IP addresses throughout a network.
Setting up a Source Server
When setting up a Web Filter to function as a source server, an
IP address must be entered for each target Web Filter unit. This
entry identifies the location of each target unit on the network.
WARNING: If a Web Filter is set up in the Source mode with a Network
Address Translation (NAT) device between the source and target server(s),
be sure that ports 26262, 26268, and 88 are open on the source server.
This setup is required so that the source server can communicate
with the target server(s).

Setting up a Target Server
When setting up a Web Filter to function as a target server, the IP address
of the source server must be entered to identify the source server
on the network. This IP address is used for security purposes, as
the target server will only acknowledge and apply changes it receives
from the designated source server. Additionally, this IP address
is used by the target server to identify the source server from
which it should receive its running filter configuration in the
event of a reboot.
WARNING: If a Web Filter server is set up in the Target mode with a NAT
device between the target and source server, be sure that ports
26262 and 26268 are open on the target server. This setup is required
so that the target server can communicate with the source server.
