Set up parent and child Linewize Filter Appliances

Updated
This article is for IT Support. 

You can set up parent and child Linewize Filter Appliances for High Availability and to maintain continuity across multiple Linewize Filter Appliances. Managing configuration changes from the parent device will also update the child devices.

  Warning

Do not change any device settings without consulting Linewize Support. Changes to your Linewize Filter Appliances can prevent users from accessing the internet or turn off filtering.

Before you start

Check these settings in the High Availability information table, as once a parent device is set up, its settings will sync to child devices.

  Important

Ensure you check the settings on all devices, as when you set up a child device, some settings will be overwritten by the parent device.

  1. In Linewize Filter, go to Debugging > Device Options.
