Managing Local to Remote Node Communication

You can select the method that a node uses to communicate with another node in a network. The communication methods of all the nodes are visible across the cluster. You can select the specific communication mode to connect with a specific node in the cluster. In the Node Management screen, you can set the communication between a local node and remote node in a cluster.

You can also set the preferred method that a node uses to communicate with other nodes in a network. If the selected communication method is not accessible, then the other available communication methods of the target node are used for communication.
