# Basic Topology for Linux CommServe Bare Metal

Basic topology provides the minimum required connections for the data protection network.

In this topology, the node requires connections to 1 - 10 GbE port for data protection network, which transfers data to and from the clients being protected.

Use this procedure to deploy the Linux CommServe Bare Metal software using the 11.38 CommServe for bare metal image.

Note

Basic topology is the easiest option to setup and deploy. However, this setup does not provide network redundancy, and is recommended only for non-production use, or if you do not have the required port availability for redundant connections.

## Network Requirements

The following network names and IP addresses are required for the basic topology:

| Node
--- | ---
Data Protection Fully Qualified Domain Name* |
Data Protection IP Address* |
Data Protection Netmask* |
Data Protection Gateway* |
Data Protection DNS 1* |
Data Protection DNS 2 |
Data Protection DNS 3 |
Data Protection NIC Port 1 Card 1 MAC Address |
Data Protection NIC Port 1 Card 2 MAC Address |
