Rendezvous documentation uses the term service group to refer to a group of Rendezvous transport objects that specify equivalent service and network parameters—equivalent parameters enable them to share messages with one another.
You need not specify part 1 when supplying the network specification field, and we recommend that you omit it for clarity. In Figure 7, notice that when adding the
NAB5 network, the administrator specifies only part 2 (that is,
;239.5.5.5); the gateway supplies part 1. If the administrator were to specify part 1 (for example,
1.1.10.3;239.5.5.5), the gateway would override it.
For a service group of NAB clients to communicate with GP transports, you must configure a NAB local network interface in the gateway. The network and service parameters of the NAB local network must match the network and service parameters of the NAB clients. Configure one local network in the gateway for each service group of NAB clients.
For a service group of GP transports to communicate with NAB clients, you must configure a GP local network interface in the gateway. The network and service parameters of the GP local network must match the network and service parameters of the GP transports.
You must also configure subject gating for each local network interface, to import and export subjects with respect to the local network. Messages do not flow into or out from a local network until you configure subject gating.
