To configure IPS policy synchronization among managed Network Security appliances, use the Configure tab in the IPS Policy Sync page. Use the Configuration tab to specify two or more managed Network Security appliances: the appliance whose IPS policy is to be used as the source of the policy synchronization job and one or more appliances that are to be updated.
The sync job fetches the IPS policies from the master IPS policy and caches them on the Central Management System appliance. The cached policies are used to update the recipient appliances.
Choose IPS > IPS Policy Sync. The Configure tab is displayed by default.
Click Select/Change Master Policy, select the managed appliance, and click Save.
Select one or more managed appliances to receive the cached IPS policies.
Click Sync at the top right side of the list, then click Sync in the confirmation dialog box.
To see the progress of the synchronization, click the Sync Jobs tab.
The name of the source appliance you selected in step 2 appears in the Master Policy column of the tab.
The names of the recipient appliances you selected in step 2 appear in the Destination Appliances column of the tab.
