How to Enable Auto Config Sync in SafeLine WAF 7.x

SafeLine version 7.x introduces a config auto sync feature, allowing you to set up master and slave nodes. This feature automatically synchronizes the master node's configuration to slave nodes every minute. In case the master node fails, users can manually switch traffic, enabling slave nodes to immediately handle business traffic.

Environment Preparation

1. Verify that the SafeLine versions on both master and slave nodes are identical (including minor version numbers)

2. Ensure that the SafeLine licenses on both master and slave nodes are consistent (both professional version)

3. Verify network communication between master and slave nodes is operational

Setting Up the Master Node

1. Designate one device as the master node

2. View the commands that need to be executed on the slave node. Save these commands as you will need to execute them on the slave node machine

Setting Up the Slave Node

1. Designate a device as the slave node

2. Execute the binding command obtained from the master node on the slave node—you must get this command from the master node console as described above

3. Check the result after execution. The image below shows successful execution

Successful Configuration

1. View the master node display

1. View the slave node display. Note that the slave node cannot modify configurations (operations are disabled by default)

2. Test configuration synchronization by making changes on the master node and checking whether they are successfully synchronized to the slave node

Configuration synchronization does not include logs and statistical information
