Solaris for ISPs Administration Guide

Expanded Setup

This figure illustrates an expanded example network setup.

Figure 3-2 Expanded Configuration

Expanded Hardware Requirements

Four 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.

Expanded Example Setup Design

The four servers are referred to as Host A, Host B, Host C, and Host D. 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 Services Monitor, and configure the host as a secondary DNS server.
Host C: Configure this server to act as a service host. Install Sun Internet News Server.
Host D: Configure this server to act as a console host. Install Sun Internet Administrator and Sun Directory Services on this host.

Note -
The DNS server configurations shown 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.

Note -

After designing the network hosts setup, prepare the hosts for the installation of Solaris for ISPs. Refer to "Solaris for ISPs Platform Extensions" to prepare the hosts as designed.
