Configuring Network Settings for the Enterprise Deployment

This topic provides information about the network settings in an enterprise deployment. It categorizes the network setting configurations by the following environments:

  • Web tier

  • Data tier

  • Staging tier

  • Development/test/business tier

This information supplements the enterprise network connectivity diagram provided in Commerce Server Enterprise Deployment Network Connectivity Diagram.

Web Tier

The following table shows the network settings that you should configure for the Web tier. All network adapters use the same subnet mask value (255.255.255.0) and preferred DNS server value (192.168.30.3).

Note

You can only have one default gateway defined on a Windows server that has multiple network adapters. For the private VLAN2 (198.168.20.0), you can set up your routers to use static routes or Routing Information Protocol (RIP), or you can define static routes using Windows on the Web servers. For more information about how to configure static routes, see How to Configure Static Routes.

Data Tier

The following table shows the network settings that you should configure for the data tier. All network adapters use the same default gateway value (192.168.40.201) and preferred DNS server value (192.168.40.3), except for the private network adapters on each computer that is running SQL Server (leave these values blank).
