Pushing your settings and viewing push status
You can push your settings to sites or site types from the Policy Push Control on the right side of the page. You can also view push status from the Push Status panel on the right side of the page.
If the SCC and SteelHeads are both running 9.2.0 and later, for the initial configuration the SCC pushes the entire configuration. For SteelHeads and an SCC running 9.2 and later, any changes made after the initial push, the SCC pushes only the modified settings to ensure improved response times and throughput performance. If the SCC and SteelHeads are both running 9.0 and 9.1, when you push configuration changes, whether the initial push or after, the SCC deletes the entire configuration and replaces it with the new configuration settings, which can slow response times and performance.
Note: When you perform a policy push, the SCC is the master configuration; any local changes made on SteelHeads are overwritten.

After you select the site type, it is displayed in the text box. To remove a site type, click the X. To view what sites make up the site type, click See More. We recommend that you choose site types rather than sites to organize your rules as site types make the management of rules easier. • Sites - Click the text box to display sites to choose from.
