– On-Change Propagation — Select this option for automatic propagation of the selected chassis property

settings. The property changes are propagated to all current group members, whenever lead properties are

changed.

– Manual Propagation — Select this option for manual propagation of the chassis group leader properties with

its members. The lead chassis property settings are propagated to group members only when a lead chassis

administrator clicks Propagate.

5.

In the Propagation Properties section, select the categories of lead configuration properties to be propagated to

member chassis.
Select only those setting categories that you want identically configured, across all members of the chassis group.
For example, select Logging and Alerting Properties category, to enable all chassis in the group to share the
logging and alerting configuration settings of the lead chassis.

6.

Click Save.
If On-Change Propagation is selected, the member chassis take on the properties of the leader. If Manual
Propagation is selected, click Propagate whenever you want to propagate the chosen settings to member chassis.
