Overview of System features Setup Wizard Table 290 Network Settings Option definitions (continued) Option IP Address Definition Specifies network addresses to enable the appliance to communicate with your network. For example, 198.168.10.1 or FD4A:A1B2:C3D4::1. You can specify multiple IP addresses for the appliance's ports. If the appliance is in Transparent Bridge mode, the IP addresses are combined into one list for both ports. In the other modes, click Network Interface 1 or Network Interface 2 to work on each of the two lists. The IP address at the top of a list is the primary address. Any IP addresses below it are "aliases." Network Mask Specifies an IPv4 network mask, for example: 255.255.255.0, or specifies the IPv6 prefix length (1-64 or 128). Cluster Management Use this page to specify cluster management balancing requirements. Depending on the cluster mode you selected on the Basic Settings page, the text that appears on the Cluster Management page changes. When configuring a group of appliances or McAfee Content Security Blade Servers, the current master uses a "least used" algorithm to assign connections to the appliances or blades configured to scan traffic. The scanning appliance or blade that is currently showing the least number of connections, at that moment in time, is assigned the next connection. For a cluster of appliances: • If you have only a master and a failover appliance, with both configured to scan traffic, the master will send most connections to the failover appliance for scanning. • If you have scanning appliances, and scanning enabled on the master and failover, then the scanning appliances will receive the most traffic to scan, then the failover, with the master receiving the least. If you have more than three appliances in a cluster, McAfee recommends that you do not enable scanning on the master appliance. You cannot configure the master or the failover blades of the McAfee Content Security Blade Server to scan traffic. McAfee recommends that when using your appliance in a cluster environment, you use McAfee Quarantine Manager to quarantine Email messages. Cluster Management Configuration (Standard appliance) Do not use this page. Cluster management is disabled. Cluster Management (Cluster Scanner) Use this page to specify information for a scanning appliance. Table 291 Option definitions Option Definition Cluster identifier If you have more than one cluster or McAfee Content Security Blade Server on the same subnet, assign each a different Cluster identifier to ensure the clusters do not conflict. The allowable range is 0-255. McAfee Email and Web Security Appliances 5.6.0 Product Guide 293

(continued)
Option
Definition
IP Address
Specifies network addresses to enable the appliance to communicate with your
network. For example, 198.168.10.1 or FD4A:A1B2:C3D4::1.
You can specify multiple IP addresses for the appliance’s ports. If the appliance is in
Transparent Bridge mode, the IP addresses are combined into one list for both ports.
In the other modes, click
Network Interface 1
or
Network Interface 2
to work on each of the
two lists.
The IP address at the top of a list is the primary address. Any IP addresses below it
are “aliases.”
Network Mask
Specifies an IPv4 network mask, for example: 255.255.255.0, or specifies the IPv6
prefix length (1-64 or 128).
Cluster Management
Use this page to specify cluster management balancing requirements.
Depending on the cluster mode you selected on the
Basic Settings
page, the text that appears on the
Cluster Management
page changes.
When configuring a group of appliances or McAfee Content Security Blade Servers, the current master
uses a "least used" algorithm to assign connections to the appliances or blades configured to scan
traffic. The scanning appliance or blade that is currently showing the least number of connections, at
that moment in time, is assigned the next connection.
For a cluster of appliances:
If you have only a master and a failover appliance, with both configured to scan traffic, the master
will send most connections to the failover appliance for scanning.
If you have scanning appliances, and scanning enabled on the master and failover, then the
scanning appliances will receive the most traffic to scan, then the failover, with the master
receiving the least. If you have more than three appliances in a cluster, McAfee recommends that
you do not enable scanning on the master appliance.
You cannot configure the master or the failover blades of the McAfee Content Security Blade Server to
scan traffic.
McAfee recommends that when using your appliance in a cluster
environment, you use McAfee Quarantine Manager to quarantine Email
messages.
