Chapter 3. Example Topologies

The RHN Satellite can be configured in multiple ways. Select one method depending on the following factors:
  • The total number of client systems to be served by the RHN Satellite.
  • The maximum number of clients expected to connect concurrently to the RHN Satellite.
  • The number of custom packages and channels to be served by the RHN Satellite.
  • The number of RHN Satellites being used in the customer environment.
  • The number of RHN Proxy Servers being used in the customer environment.
The rest of this chapter describes possible configurations and explains their benefits.

The simplest configuration is to use a single RHN Satellite to serve your entire network. This configuration is adequate to service a medium-size group of clients and network.
The disadvantage of using one RHN Satellite is that performance will be compromised as the number of clients requesting packages grows.
