This section explains the prerequisites and the configurations to be done on the SBC SWe cluster and PSX Manager so that the SBC cluster has the view of the PSX cluster and the PSX has the view of the SBC cluster. To configure SBC SWe clusters as gateways in the PSX SWe Manager, refer to "Configuring SBC Cluster ID as Gateway" in the PSX documentation.  

Prerequisites

  • EMS instance is up and running
  • PSX Master instance is up and running

The PSX instances within a cluster must be visible to the instances within the SBC SWe cluster.  Registering the PSX cluster FQDN in the Remote Policy Server, instead of the IP address, allows the SBC SWe to have a view of the PSX instances within the cluster. When a new instance is created, it will query the PSX using the FQDN.

      3. Mode: Active

The PSX Master cluster FQDN is added to the SBC configuration.

Info
titleNote

You can configure either the FQDN or IP address, but not both.

maxPolicyServerCount is the number of IP addresses the SBC selects and registers with from the FQDN resolution result. The default value is 1.

Click Save at the top of the SBC Configuration Manager window when you have completed making configuration changes. When prompted, confirm that you want to save all your changes and push the configuration to all nodes in the SBC cluster.
