# Moving a Virtual NGFW Engine to a different Master NGFW Engine

The Virtual Resource selected in the properties of a Virtual NGFW Engine determines the Master NGFW Engine to which the Virtual NGFW Engine belongs.

To move a Virtual NGFW Engine to a different Master NGFW Engine, you select a Virtual Resource that is associated with a different Master NGFW Engine in the Virtual NGFW Engine's properties. The move becomes effective when you refresh the policy on the Master NGFW Engine.
