Sample Site Setup

Figure 11-1 shows the site setup for this example.

Figure 11-1 Sample Site Setup

At this sample site:

• SPARC: The engineering group is located on its own subnet. This group uses SPARCstation systems for software development.

• IA: The marketing group is located on its own subnet. This group uses IA based systems for running word processing, spreadsheets, and other office tools.

• The site uses NIS. The Ethernet addresses, IP addresses, and host names of the systems are preconfigured in the NIS maps. The subnet mask, date and time, and geographic region for the site are also preconfigured in the NIS maps.

The peripheral devices for the marketing systems are preconfigured in the sysidcfg file.

• Both the engineering and marketing systems are to be installed with Solaris 8 software over the network.
