Use this task to configure communication between two core groups
when they cannot communicate with each other directly through peer ports.
Before you begin
Configure a proxy peer access point to communicate with a core group
if you cannot use peer ports. Use a core group that has configured a peer
access point with peer ports to the core group that you want to communicate
with. Before completing this task, make sure that you have access to a core
group that can communicate with the core group that you cannot communicate
with directly. To configure communication between core groups that are in
different cells, see
Configuring the core group bridge between core groups that are in different
cells
. If there are multiple core groups in each of the cells,
they must be configured to communicate with each other. See
Configuring communication between core groups that are in the same
cell
for more information.
About this task
Use a proxy peer to communicate with a core group that you cannot
access directly. This task describes how to configure a proxy peer with three
core groups that are each in different cells. The
core_group_x and
core_group_y core
groups can communicate directly with each other through peer ports. The
core_group_y and
core_group_z core
groups can also communicate with each other though peer ports. However, the
core_group_x core
group cannot communicate with the
core_group_z core group. To establish
that communication, the
core_group_x core group has a peer access point
that is a proxy peer. The proxy peer is the peer access point to the
core_group_y core
group. For more information, see
Advanced core group bridge configurations
.
Procedure
- Configure the core_group_x and core_group_y core
groups to communicate with each other by creating an access point group.
For more information, see Configuring the core group bridge between core groups that are in different
cells
.
- Configure the core_group_y and core_group_z core
groups to communicate with each other by creating another access point group.
For more information, see Configuring the core group bridge between core groups that are in different
cells
. When you do this step,
create a second access point group in cell 2. The core_group_2 core
group communicates with both the cell_x and cell_z cells over
two different networks.
- Configure a peer access point that has a proxy peer. Create a new
peer access point in the access point group that you created between the core_group_x and core_group_y core
groups.
- In the administrative console, click Servers > Core groups
> Core group bridge settings > Access point groups > access_point_group_name >
Peer access points. Create a new peer access point, or select
an existing access point.
- Enter a unique name for the peer access point. For the other
cell, core group, and core group access point values, use the properties of
thecore_group_z core group.
- Click Use a proxy peer access point. Select
the proxy peer access point that is the peer access point that you created
in the cell_x cell that refers to the core group access point in the cell_y cell.
Results
The core_group_x core group can communicate with the core_group_z core
group by using a proxy peer.
Example
The following example shows the configurations in each cell when
you configure communication between the cell_x and cell_z cells
using a proxy peer access point:
Figure 1. Example proxy peer configuration

What to do next
By completing this task, you enabled one-way communication between
the core_group_x and core_group_z core groups. If you want to
configure communication both ways, you must repeat these steps, configuring
a peer access point in the core_group_z core group that contains a
proxy peer.
