# Configuring multi-region support

Define region identfiers and configure cross-region settings for multi-region PingFederate server clusters.

## Steps

1. To define a region identifier for a given node, update the `node.group.id` value in the `<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/cluster-adaptive.conf` file, which is a per-server configuration.

   ### Example:

   For example, if you have five engine nodes in the West Coast and six engine nodes in the East Coast, you can update the `node.group.id` value to `W` for each of the West Coast nodes and `E` for each of the six nodes in the East Coast.

   1. Restart PingFederate after making changes to the `cluster-adaptive.conf` file.

      ### Result:

      Once defined, the identifiers for all nodes are displayed on the **System > Server > Cluster Management** menu.

2. To configure cross-region support for individual areas, follow the inline instructions in the `cluster-adaptive.conf` file to update the relevant setting values.
