If you do not have a Distributed Server license, only Single Server mode and Distributed GroupMember modes are enabled.If your user role is Administrator, if you have a Distributed Server license, and you have multipleRidgeline servers installed on your network, you can configure these servers to operate in a distributedserver mode.Distributed Server mode allows multiple Ridgeline servers, each managing their own sets of devices, tobe designated as a server group, and to communicate status between the servers in the group. Oneserver acts as a Server Group Manager, and the other servers act as server group members.Each server in the server group is updated at regular intervals with a list of other servers, and withnetwork summary and status information from the other servers in the group. In distributed servermode, the Ridgeline home page contains a status information from the other servers in the group inaddition to the standard Network Summary report.To configure the server to operate in distributed server mode, complete the following steps:1 Click the Distributed Server tab at the top of the page.The Distributed Server Administration page appears, as shown in Figure 335.482Ridgeline Reference Guide
