CHAPTER 2
Network Configuration
Websense components can be installed in a number of possible
configurations, depending upon the nature of your network and your filtering
requirements. To determine the appropriate deployment for your network, and
for a complete list of system requirements, see the Deployment Guide for
Websense Enterprise and Web Security Suite.
The information in this chapter provides an overview of where Websense
components can be installed, with specific information about where to install
Websense components in relation to your integration product.
Websense Enterprise and Web Security Suite
Components
When deciding how to deploy Websense Enterprise and Web Security Suite
components in your network, consider the following installation
dependencies:
 Filtering Service: Typically installed on the same machine as Policy
Server and may be installed on the same machine as Websense Manager.
The Filtering Service can be installed on a different operating system than
the Policy Server, as long as they are properly configured to communicate
with each other. This is an unusual deployment. Filtering Service installs
on Windows, Solaris™, and Linux
®
. You can install a maximum of 10
Filtering Services for each Policy Server if they employ quality network
connections. For additional information, see the Deployment Guide for
Websense Enterprise and Web Security Suite.
 Policy Server: Typically installed on the same machine as the Filtering
Service, but may be installed on a separate machine, depending upon the
configuration of your network. There must be only one Policy Server
installed for each logical installation. An example would be a Policy Server
that delivers the same policies and categories to each machine in a subnet.
The Policy Server installs on Windows, Solaris, and Linux.
