Network Plane Planning

Figure 1 shows the network plan for the single node scenario.

The network segments and IP addresses are for reference only.

Figure 1 Network planning in the single node scenario

In this scenario, only one NIC is used for network communication.

Table 4 shows the planned network information.

Parameter

Description

Example Value

IP address of the server/client plane

The SAP Business One node communicates with the SAP Business One Client software using this IP address.

The SAP HANA node communicates with service software or SAP HANA Studio client software using this IP address.

  • SAP Business One: 10.0.3.3
  • SAP Business One Client: 10.0.2.2

EIP

Users access SAP Business One Client using EIP (public IP address).

Security Group Planning

  • The network segments and IP addresses are for reference only. The following security group rules are recommended practices. You can configure your own security group rules as needed.
  • In the following table, ## stands for the SAP HANA instance ID, such as 00. Ensure that this ID is the same as the instance ID specified when you install the SAP HANA software.
  • For more information about specific ports and security group rules to be accessed by SAP, see SAP Help Portal.
