Hi All, I am making affiliation grouping in my environment and need assistance in doing it. I have 5 DC’s to have this grouping to be deployed, however I am thinking to have it started from a DC which has 1500+ endpoints. I want a group of 5 affiliated relays to cater 1500 endpoints. So to achieve this should I be making the advertisement list on same 5 relays to use the code “ABCD” and have the endpoints to choose automatic relays with Seek list setting enabled to use the code “ABCD” or there could be a better way in achieving this. Please suggest.
You could do that.
You could create a fixlet that assigns the primary and secondary relay by looking at the computer ID.
Basically computer ID mod 5
(below is not relevance)
If computer ID mod 5 = 1
then
set primary relay to 1
set secondary to 2
else if computer ID mod 5 = 2
then
set primary relay to 2
set secondary relay to 3
…
etc.
If you plan on being able to easily add relays in the future, affiliation may be more flexible, otherwise you will have to update the assignment fixlet.
