Configuring Internal Clients
When Internet Server establishes connections to internal servers, the TCP connection uses the IP address of Internet Server. Therefore, the internal server detects that Internet Server initiates the connection request. When using Connection Manager, CMS initiates the TCP connection to the internal server. The internal server detects that CMS initiates the connection request. Therefore, whenever an internal server is configured to accept connections from a particular IP address, you must configure the CMS IP address instead of the Internet Server IP address.
Platform Server
When Platform Server is configured to Require Node Definitions or is using responder profiles, you must create a node definition for each CMS server that can connect to Platform Server. Additionally, if you are using responder profiles, you must add a responder profile for each CMS node definition.
