Setting Up a Two-Way Direct Connection Using a Predefined Network Topology

You can create a network topology instance in which members of either client group can connect to members of the other client group.

Before You Begin

Verify that the client groups that you want to use in the network topology instance are already defined in the CommCell Console or the Command Center.
You must have Administrative Management permissions on the client groups that you plan to use in the network topology instance.
Note the following regarding port requirements:
- Tunnel port: Default = 8403 (CVD port plus 3) should be open on both sides. If you want to change the default tunnel port, see Updating Incoming Ports on Client Computers.
- Optional port: Default = 8400 (CVD port).
- Both DMZ servers/infrastructure computers and servers/laptops should be able to open connections to each other on the tunnel port.

From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Network > Network Topologies.
The Network topologies page appears.
Click Add topology.

The Add topology dialog box appears.
In the Name field, enter a name for this instance of a two-way direct connection.
For Client type, select Servers.
From the Topology type list, select Two-way.
From the Servers list, select the server group that will initiate connections with members of the Infrastructure machines group.
