Multiple Cisco Security Manager Servers

WatsonBob · ‎03-29-2007

Hello ...

We have a CSM implementation in Europe to manage European firewalls and are getting ready to install a second unit in the U.S. to manage U.S. firewalls. Is there any capability to connect these two implementations to provide any level of backup or failover? What do we do when the Asia Pacific folks want CSM for their firewalls?

You can use the database backup feature in version 3.0.1 and import this in your second Security Manager.

The next release 3.1, that comes out in a couple of weekes, will support a Disaster Recovery mode (failover).
