Convert a Single IPS engine to an IPS Cluster
You can convert an existing Single IPS element to an IPS Cluster element.
Converting a Single IPS element to an IPS Cluster element maintains the relationship of the NGFW Engine element with other configurations in the system. The conversion requires you to select one Single IPS element to convert to an IPS Cluster.
The following limitations apply when you convert a Single IPS to an IPS Cluster:
- It is not possible to combine two Single IPS elements into an IPS Cluster element.
- A Single IPS engine can only be converted to a two-node IPS Cluster. If you want to add more nodes to the cluster, you must add the nodes separately after the conversion.
CAUTION:
If you change the control IP address of the existing node in this process, the connection between the NGFW Engine and the SMC is lost.
