Sample Site Setup

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

Figure D-1 Sample Site Setup

At this fictitious site:

• The engineering group is on its own subnet. This group uses Sun SPARCstation 5 systems for software development.

• The marketing group is on its own subnet. This group uses Dell^\256 466 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 located on the Solaris boot diskette.

• Both the engineering and marketing systems will install Solaris software over the network.
