InterProxy VBN system configuration
The InterProxy function accepts and routes TCP/IP Ethernet traffic from
visitor computers connected through a VBN infrastructure to the YWS
ETH 1 interface. InterProxy-VBN clients can connect to the network through
an EtherLoop, Ethernet, or combined EtherLoop/Ethernet system
infrastructure. Upon reaching the ETH 1 interface, the YWS switches the
InterProxy traffic from the ETH 1 interface over to the ETH 0 interface. The
ETH 0 interface connects to an external data network such as the Internet or
corporate intranet.
InterProxy functional architecture
Figure 4-1 shows the InterProxy-VBN functional architecture.

InterProxy limitations for visitor computers
InterProxy-based internetwork access has the following limitations:
• Visitors who have assigned IP addresses that are in the same subnet as the
ETH 0 IP address will not receive internetwork access (with the exception
of IP addresses provisioned using the Conference Scheduler module).
• Visitors that have a home page designated with the "don’t use proxies"
feature enabled for the home page will not receive internetwork access.
• All InterProxy-VBN clients must reside on the same LAN segment as the
YWS ETH 1 interface. InterProxy-VBN client traffic cannot pass through
a LAN router or bridge before reaching the ETH 1 connection.
