# Chapter 3. Example Topologies

The RHN Satellite Server 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 Server.

- The maximum number of clients expected to connect concurrently to the RHN Satellite Server.

- The number of custom packages and channels to be served by the RHN Satellite Server.

- The number of RHN Satellite Servers 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.

# 3.1. Single Satellite Topology

The simplest configuration is to use a single RHN Satellite Server 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 Server is that performance will be compromised as the number of clients requesting packages grows.
