Planning the Network

The first decision to make is whether to have an open network or a closed network.

Open Network Security Information

If the network is open:

1. Identify accessible domains

2. Identify accessible hosts

3. Identify Trusted Solaris systems that can access to unlabeled systems or domains

Name Service Domain Information

For the NIS or NIS+ domain:

1. Identify the NIS or NIS+ master

2. Identify the NIS or NIS+ slaves/replicas

3. Identify the NIS+ subdomain masters

4. Identify the file servers

5. Identify the audit servers

6. Identify the print servers

7. Identify the mail servers

8. Identify network routers/gateways

9. Identify end user systems

10. Identify other hosts on the network

Labels of Communicating Machines

Identify the labels at which machines can communicate.

• Identify an single-label or limited range hosts in the Trusted Solaris network.

• Determine the label(s) applied to incoming data from unlabeled hosts
