Bridge interface collection
Each core group access point has a collection of bridge interfaces. This collection defines the interfaces on the set of servers that provide access to the core group. All the servers in this collection have the core group bridge service enabled.
The core group bridge service provides communication between core groups. A bridge interface defines the node, the server, and the chain for the core group access point. The chain defines the transport channels used by the server for receiving information.
To access this console page, click Servers > Core Groups > Core group bridge settings > Access point groups > access_point_group_name > Core group access points > access_point_name > Bridge interfaces. Click New on this page to create a new bridge interface.
Server
Node and the server combinations that are bridge interfaces for the core group access point.
Node
Node on which the cluster member is running.
Transport channel chain
Name of the transport chain used for transport by the bridge interface. For all the core group access points in an access point group, the transport chains must resolve to the same host. To ensure that the transport chains resolve to the same host, use the same chain for all of the core group access points in an access point group.
Subtopics
- Bridge interface settings
Use this page to specify the bridge interfaces that provide access to the core group access point. A bridge interface is a server that runs the core group bridge service. The core group bridge service is the service that establishes communication between core groups.
- Bridge interface creation
A bridge interface specifies a particular node and server that runs the core group bridge service. A bridge interface is defined by a unique combination of a node, a server, and a transport chain. A transport chain represents a network protocol stack that is operating within an application server.
