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.
