The core group bridge is the service that enables communication
between core groups. A core group is a statically defined component
of the high availability manager. Use this page to view the structure
of your access point groups. Access point groups link core groups
that are in the same cell or in different cells and allow the core
groups to communicate with each other.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Core
groups > Core group bridge settings.
Each access point group is a collection of core group access points.
If you are configuring communication between core groups that are
in the same cell, configure an access point group with a core group
access point for each core group in the cell. If you are configuring
communication between core groups in different cells, configure an
access point group that has one core group access point for the local
cell and a peer access point for each other cell.
Each core group access point has one or more bridge interfaces.
Each peer access point has a proxy peer or one or more peer ports.
A bridge interface is a server that is configured to communicate with
other core groups by using a particular transport channel chain. Click Access
point groups to configure the settings for each access point group
that is configured.
Best practice: Even though it
is possible to use a deployment manager as a core group bridge interface,
it is recommended that you use an application server that is not a
deployment manager.

- Access point group - An access point group defines the
core groups that communicate with each other. Each access point group
consists of a collection of core groups.
- Core group - Specifies a core group that is in this access
point group. Core groups are referenced by core group access points.
- Core group access point - The core group access point defines
the set of servers that provide access to the core group. Bridge interfaces
define the servers that are in the core group access point.
- Peer core group - Specifies a core group in a different
cell. Define peer access points to communicate with peer core groups.
- Peer access point - Each peer access point is used to communicate
a core group in a different cell. Each peer access point corresponds
to a core group access point that is in the peer cell. Use one or
more peer ports or one proxy peer to define the communication settings.
- Peer port - Each peer port identifies a bridge interface
of a core group bridge in the peer cell.
- Proxy peer - A proxy peer is used to identify the communication
settings for a peer access point that cannot be accessed directly
through peer ports. A proxy peer specifies a peer access point that
can communicate with the destination core group. The specified proxy
peer must be a peer access point that has defined ports.
