You can configure the Traffic Manager to provide support for management of multiple distributed physical, virtual or cloud-based Traffic Manager clusters. This is implemented in the configuration system by appending location names to the relevant keys in affected configuration files. The Traffic Manager uses the at (@) symbol followed by the location name, so key “foo” would become “foo\@location”.

For example, a simple config key might be:

```bash
Enabled Yes
```

By adding location support, this key would become:

```bash
Enabled@cambridge Yes
Enabled@sanfrancisco Noyep
```

This convention ensures that config keys set as specific to a particular location are ignored by other locations.

For further information regarding location support, see the Multi-site Cluster Management chapter of the Virtual Traffic Manager: User’s Guide.
