Is there any way that i can restrict the Client to communicate with specific relay.I am working in enviroment where 2200 little office in whole country.Each office have 1 relay and 6 -8 client.But it not sure everytime that the office relay always up.When relay in office get down then all client communicate direct to Headoffice.
Its makes the server to busy.Please suggest to resolve the issue.
Hi
You can look at following setting:
_BESClient_RelaySelect_FailoverRelayList
For more information about client settings, you can check https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Configuration%20Settings
Hi,
So the easiest way to do this is to create a report that lists all your relays and their last report times. Fire the report off if the relay hasn’t reported in ~12 hours.
Put in firewall rules at the branches or at the HQ to only allow 52311 traffic from the relays – and not from clients.
Unless you firewall it off the clients will always try to talk to the root server if they can’t reach a local relay.
You can use @steini44 suggestion to setup a failover relay next to your root server so that the clients talking to the root instead talk to the failover. You still get WAN traffic but at least it’s not to your root server
Hi @strawgate
You can use @steini44
suggestion to setup a failover relay next to your root server so that
the clients talking to the root instead talk to the failover.
You mean the other way around right? That they talk to the failover and not to the root? 
Thank you for such a wonderful piece of information .I will try to implement this and let you if I face any issue
That’s what I said
The clients talking to the root, instead, talk to the failover
Damn, mis read it… my bad! it’s friday afternoon here
