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.Why and when to perform 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.Steps for this task
Result
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:
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.Related concepts
