# How to configure Network Connector agents

In this document, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to configure **Network Connector** agents.

## Requirements

It's necessary to have the agent **Network Connector** installed. To do this, follow the steps in the document [How to install Network Connector](/docs/en/network-connector-how-to-install-network-connector).

## Configure Network Connector agents

On the machine where the primary **Network Connector** agent is installed:

1. Locate the `docker-compose.yml` file of the **Network Connector** agent.
2. Change the `SENHASEGURA_SECONDARY` parameter value to `false` in the primary agent's `docker-compose.yml` file.

The `docker-compose.yml` file should look like this example:

```
services:
 senhasegura-network-connector-agent:
   image: "registry.senhasegura.io/network-connector/agent-v2:latest"
   restart: unless-stopped
   networks:
    - senhasegura-network-connector
   environment:
    SENHASEGURA_FINGERPRINT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_PORT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_ADDRESSES: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_SECONDARY: "false"
networks:
 senhasegura-network-connector:
   driver: bridge
```

### Configure secondary agents

1. Change the `SENHASEGURA_SECONDARY` parameter value to `true` in the `docker-compose.yml` file of all secondary agents.

The `docker-compose.yml` file should look like this example:

```
services:
 senhasegura-network-connector-agent:
   image: "registry.senhasegura.io/network-connector/agent-v2:latest"
   restart: unless-stopped
   networks:
    - senhasegura-network-connector
   environment:
    SENHASEGURA_FINGERPRINT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_PORT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_ADDRESSES: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_SECONDARY: "true"
networks:
 senhasegura-network-connector:
   driver: bridge
```

After configuring the agents in the **Network Connector Server** you can switch agents via an SSH/Telnet connection. Even if you choose to shut down the primary agent, you won’t lose remote access, as the secondary SNC will automatically take over.

## Manage the primary and secondary Network Connector

To turn off the **Network Connector** primary, access the `network-connector-ha-dr-one` and run the `docker-compose down` command. To turn off the **Network Connector** secondary, access the `network-connector-ha-dr-two` and run the `docker-compose down` command.
