Base Setup

This figure illustrates a base example setup.

Figure 3-1 Base Configuration

Base Hardware Requirements

• Three high-end workstations.

• Primary and secondary DNS servers.

• The hosts must be on a network connected to the Internet.

• You can use any server on the network to act as a client host.

• You need a Web browser on the client host for Sun Internet Administrator and Sun Internet Services Monitor client software.

Base Example Setup Design

The three servers are referred to as Host A, Host B, and Host C. For example, the host servers may be configured as follows:

• Host A: Configure this server to act as a service host. Install SWS, Sun Internet FTP Server, and configure the host as a primary DNS server.

• Host B: Configure this server to act as a console host. Install Sun Internet Administrator, Sun Directory Services, and Sun Internet Services Monitor.

• Host C: Configure this server to act as a service host. Install Sun Internet News Server and configure the host as a secondary DNS server.

  Note -

  The DNS server configurations discussed in this example setup are suggestions only. You need not install Solaris for ISPs extensions and services on a host acting as a DNS server. Most extensions and services only require the ability to perform name lookups regularly.
