Peer Gateways

You can configure up to eight Gateway products to form a peer group. These Peer Gateways work together in the group. Any configuration changes from a local Gateway can then be applied to all the peers at the same time.

Peer Gateways can provide redundancy in the event of a failure, and can share the processing load.

You can only add Secure ICAP Gateway to an ICAP Gateway peer group.

From the local Gateway, you can manage peers in the following ways:

• Create a security policy, and apply it to all Peer Gateways
• Monitor the status of Peer Gateways
• Run consolidated reports throughout the Peer Group
