This section explains the prerequisites and the configurations to be done on the
Configurator and PSX Manager so that the

clusters as gateways.
Prerequisites
- EMS instance is up and running
- PSX Master instance is up and running
- Configurator is up and running
SBC Configuration
The PSX instances within a cluster must be visible to the instances within the
cluster. When a new instance is created, it will query the PSX using FQDN. Registering the PSX cluster FQDN in the Remote Policy Server instead of the IP address in the configurator manager allows the
to have a view of the PSX instances within the cluster.
The configurations done made in the Configurator node is are passed on to all
nodes in the cluster. To
know how to configure
clusters as gateways in the PSX SWe Manager, refer
toto "Configuring SBC Cluster ID as Gateway" in the PSX documentation.
