ACS server replication Query

[sansarav720e]

Hi All ,

            I have two ACS server primary & secondary server . New secondary server to be deployed into network . My primary ACS server has got 1000 AAA clients configured with 15000 user id configured in multiple group profile . My question over here is when i do database replication between primary and secondary ,whether entire databse will be replicated from my primary server to secondary server like all AAA clients and end user , group profile , interface configuation etc , else it will replication has got restriction for database .

Totally : AAA clients & User ID will be on one database backup   or it will reside on differnt location

kindly clarify me over here ,Thank you .

Hi,

The entire Database will get over written in case of database restore.

You use ACS Database Replication to copy various  components of the ACS internal database to other ACSs. This method can  help you plan a failover AAA architecture, and reduce the complexity of  your configuration and maintenance tasks.

The components that can be replicated are:

User and group database

Group database only

Network Configuration Device  tables

Distribution table

Interface configuration

Interface security settings

Password validation settings

EAP-FAST master keys and policies

Network Access Profiles

Logging Configuration  (Enable/Disable Settings)

The following link will give you details of the database replication.
