> # Enabling Replication (Replica ID) Dialog

> The replication wizard helps you to enable replication on a suffix or promote or demote the role of an enabled suffix.

> When enabling or promoting to a master replica, you must assign it a replica ID. The replication mechanism uses this ID to distinguish the "owner" of update statements and resolve conflicts that may occur with multi-master replication (MMR). Therefore, the replica ID must be unique for all master replicas of this suffix. However, the same server may master several suffixes, each with the same replica ID.

> The replica ID is an integer between 1 and 65534, inclusive, that cannot be changed once it is assigned. If you must change the ID, you will have to disable replication, which will delete any replication agreements, and re-enable the master suffix with the new ID.

> Enter a unique replica ID and click Next to proceed with the next required step.
