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.
-
Both DMZ servers/infrastructure computers and servers/laptops should be able to open connections to each other on the tunnel port.
