High Availability Configuration Size Limits Guide

This guide outlines best practices for configuring High Availability (HA) in Proxy network mode, specifically focusing on size limits for Web Gateway appliances. It details the configuration of multiple appliances as nodes managed through Central Management functions, with one designated as the director node to manage incoming web traffic. The document explains the importance of not exceeding the maximum throughput of the director node when adding scanning nodes. It provides specific recommendations based on various throughput scenarios, such as suggesting a maximum of five scanning nodes for a throughput of 100 megabits per second. Additionally, it discusses the impact of using 10GbE network interfaces and IP spoofing on throughput and node configuration, emphasizing the need to adapt the number of scanning nodes accordingly. The guide serves as a technical reference for network administrators to ensure optimal performance and reliability in HA configurations.
