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 Creating advanced core group bridge configurations. 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. Core_group_x and core_group_y can communicate directly with each other through peer ports. Core_group_y and core_group_z can also communicate with each other though peer ports. However, core_group_x cannot communicate with core_group_z. To establish that communication, core_group_x has a peer access point that is a proxy peer. The proxy peer is the peer access point to core_group_y. For more information, see Core group communications using the core group bridge service.Steps for this task
Result
Core_group_x can communicate with core_group_z by using a proxy peer.Example
The following example shows the configurations in each cell when you configure communication between cell_x and cell_z using a proxy peer access point:
What to do next
By completing this task, you enabled one-way communication between core_group_x and core_group_z. If you want to configure communication both ways, you must repeat these steps, configuring a peer access point in core_group_z that contains a proxy peer.Related concepts
