How-to create physical connection for a Multiserver Setup for ISPConfig 3

Yes of course Till. He was quite clear.
Anyway can be useful for all the SysAdmin know a Physical Perfect Install for ISPConfig. It's just for completing the Perfect Install tutorials.

I have followed these steps:

1. I have set all the servers eth0 cards with a public IP.
2. I have connected all the servers to the switch in unmanaged mode.
3. I have connected the public network cable in the switch too.

All the computers would be on the web but know a question comes:

Do the Servers communicate between themselves and resolving the IP internally ?

For instance:

Public IP:
122.112.33.80 WEB Server
122.112.33.81 DB Server
122.112.33.82 MAIL Server
122.112.33.83 Switch

If the WEB server wants to know some information from the db server must resolve the path to reach the db server in the right way?

The best way and this works for me.

Get a gigabit switch...
Set IPs for each server... Make sure you are able to ping each server...

Get a router to the internet and connect the switch to the router.

Configure the router to forward all ports to each specific server...

So I have to handle the switch in Managed mode, right?

[kendel]

No an unmanaged switch will work just fine, regardless of what OS you run Linux or Gaycrosoft you can set IPs through the OS.... Then ping each server through the commang line

[vaio1]

Just a question:

How have I set the forwarding rules if it is in unmanaged mode?

[kendel]

looks like u need some networking 101.. (i have to start charging you) anyways.. this is where you router comes in.. you forwards the right ports to the right IP addresses

Yes I am learning everyday new things.
You have not answer me.

In unmanaged mode you cannot access directly to the software switch, so how have I do?

thanks

You don't need to access the switch at all... only things you need access to is the router and the command line on your servers...
