Bridge interface settings
To specify the bridge interfaces that provide access to core group access points.

A bridge interface is a server that runs the core group bridge service, which establishes communication between core groups.
- The server selected as the core group bridge interface should not handle production responsibilities, such as filtering requests to cluster members, or WebSphere proxy servers. The core group bridge interface experiences extensive memory and CPU usage during startup and failover processing, which occurs when one of the bridges in a core group stops. If we cannot dedicate a server as a core group bridge interface, we should select a node agent as our core group bridge interface.
- Typically we specify ONLY two bridge interfaces per core group. Having at least two bridge interfaces is necessary for high availability. Having more than two bridge interfaces adds unnecessary overhead in memory and CPU.
