# Editing the existing locations

Edit the existing east and west locations to include the new central location in their failover logic.

## About this task

The new failover logic is be based on geographic distance so that the east location will first fail over to the central and then the west location.

The following example procedure uses `dsconfig` interactive mode to edit the east location.

## Steps

1. Run `dsconfig` and enter the LDAP connection parameters when prompted.

2. In the PingDirectoryProxy server console configuration menu, enter the number corresponding to Location.

3. In the `Location menu`, enter the number corresponding to viewing and editing an existing location. Then, enter the number corresponding to the Location to be changed.

4. Remove the west location from the `preferred-failover-location` property.

   You will add the west location later.

5. Add a new value to the `preferred-failover-location` property.

6. Select the values of the new failover locations for the east.

7. Confirm the new configuration information and save the changes.

8. Repeat steps 2-7 to reconfigure the failover logic for the west location to include the new central location.

9. List the locations to confirm that the new location was added correctly.
