Create a Neighborhood

You can log into a CC-SG unit where you want to create a Neighborhood
and which is not a member of any Neighborhood yet. After a
Neighborhood is created, all members in the Neighborhood share the
same Neighborhood information. If any member is the Primary Node of
clustered CC-SG units, the IP address or hostname of the Secondary, or
Backup, Node also displays in the Neighborhood configuration.

To create a Neighborhood

1. Choose Administration > Neighborhood.

2. Type a name in the Neighborhood Name field.

3. Click Create Neighborhood.

4. The IP address or hostname of current CC-SG already displays in

the Secure Gateway IP Address/Hostname table. You may click the
drop-down arrow to switch between its complete or short hostnames
or IP address.

5. Add one or more CC-SG units in the table.

a. Click the next empty row, or press Tab or up/down arrow keys.

b. Type the IP address or hostname of new CC-SG unit that you

want to add and press Enter. See

Terminology/Acronyms

(on

page 2) for hostname rules.

c. Repeat previous steps until you finish adding all CC-SG units.

6. Click

Next.

ƒ If one or more CC-SG units cannot be found, a message appears

and these CC-SG units will be highlighted in yellow in the table.
Remove these units or modify their IP addresses or hostnames,
and click Next again.

7. CC-SG displays a list of CC-SG units along with their firmware

version and state in the Neighborhood Configuration table.

Note: The CC-SG units which do not meet the

Neighborhood

criteria

(see "What is a Neighborhood?" on page 229) are

automatically deactivated.

8. Adjust the Neighborhood configurations if necessary. Optional.

ƒ To change any CC-SG's Secure Gateway Name, click the name,

type a new one and press Enter. The default is a short CC-SG
hostname. The name is what Access Client users will see when
switching among the Neighborhood members so each name
must be unique.
