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.
- A server that you select as a core group bridge interface should not be a server that handles production responsibilities, such as filtering requests to cluster members, or WebSphere proxy servers. Any server that is a core group bridge interface experiences extensive memory and CPU usage during core group bridge startup, and failover processing, which occurs when one of the bridges in a core group stops. If you cannot dedicate a server as a core group bridge interface, you should select a node agent as your core group bridge interface.
- You should typically 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.
