You can use a parent Linewize appliance’s configuration to maintain continuity across multiple Linewize appliances in your system. The child devices will inherit the configuration changes from the parent device, saving you time when you maintain a large network of users’ devices.
Warning
Do not change any device settings without consulting with the Linewize Support team.
Changes to your Linewize appliances can prevent users from accessing the internet or disable filtering. When you set up a child device some configurations will be lost when the parent device overwrites the child device’s configurations.
Before you start
A parent device will overwrite the following configurations on child devices. Assess the impact of these inherited device configurations while planning changes to your Linewize appliances.
