In addition to the network routes configured in your CommCell setup, you can create port-forwarding gateways to establish connectivity between CommCell computers on third-party ports using existing firewall tunnels. These ports are used by third-party applications and are not configured using Commvault network routes.
Port-forwarding gateways allow you to set up a port in the destination computer and map it to a local port in the source computer, in order to listen for incoming connections.
You can configure a port-forwarding gateway from the CommCell Console.
Important
-
All port-forwarding configurations require that Commvault network route settings are configured in your CommCell environment. For more information, see Configuring Network Routes.
-
If you are setting up group-to-group firewall connectivity through a network gateway using a predefined network topology, the following options are not supported with port forwarding gateways:
-
Force servers to use network gateways for all traffic (option for servers)
-
Laptops will automatically use network gateways to connect to all Infrastructure machines (option for laptops)
