Changing role of Brightmail 8360 from control center to scanner

  • 1.  Changing role of Brightmail 8360 from control center to scanner

    Posted Nov 10, 2009 05:52 AM
    Hello everyone,

    I have 2 Brightmail gateways which I initially configured as Control Center and Scanner.
    I decided to switch one of the appliances to scanner mode but I was not able to find where exactly that is done.
    I tried opening the first appliance and browse to  Administration -> Configuration -> Add but obviously I couldn't add it since the second is also configured as Control Center and Scanner.

    At the end I had to restore factory settings on it and assign it as a scanner.

    Is this is the only way to change the Brightmail gateway mode?

    I just need someone to shed some light regarding this process.

    Thank You,
    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    you can launch the "clear all" command from the CLI. It will restore the appliance to the original factory configuration. 
    After the script finishes you will be able to login and re-configure the appliance from scratch. At the end of this process you will be presented with the role option.

    Hope this helps,

    Federico
