Peer access point settings

Use this page to configure a peer access point. Each peer access point is used to communicate with core groups in other cells. A peer access point corresponds to a core group access point in the peer cell. The peer access point communication settings are specified by using one or more peer end points or a proxy peer.

A peer access point must contain either peer ports or a proxy peer access point, but not both. When the peer access point is directly accessible within its access point group, specify peer ports. When the peer access point can be reached only indirectly, use a proxy peer access point. A proxy peer access point is used to identify the communication settings for the peer access point that cannot be accessed directly. The proxy peer access point specifies a peer access point that can communicate with the appropriate destination core group. The specified proxy peer access point must be a peer access point that has defined ports.

Name

Name of the peer access point. The name must be unique within the local cell.

Cell

Specify the cell in which the peer access point resides.

This property is case sensitive. The value you specify must exactly match the name of the cell in which the peer access point resides. For example, if WASCell05 is the name of the cell that contains the peer access point, specify WASCell05 as the value for this property. If you specify wascell05 as the value for this property, communication between the two core groups is not established.

Core group

Specify the core group in which the peer access point resides.

Core group access point

Name of the core group access point that is in the peer cell.

Use peer ports

Specify that you are using peer ports instead of a proxy peer access point. Use peer ports when the peer access point is directly accessible within its access point group. Click Peer ports to specify the peer ports for the peer access point.

Use proxy peer access point

Specify that you are using a proxy peer access point instead of peer ports. A proxy peer is defined when the peer access point can be reached only indirectly through another peer access point. A proxy peer is used to identify the communication settings for the peer access point that cannot be accessed directly. The 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 peer ports.

Proxy peer access point

Specific peer access point that is used to access a core group.
