  9. SME V5 – Why Server Only? • Your district has: • Existing network that you’d rather not change • Few clients • Easier to edit workstations than alter network config. • Existing firewall and NAT

  10. SME V5 – Server and Gateway

  11. SME V5 – Why Server and Gateway? • No configuration on the clients • If no firewall, E-Smith will provide some firewall features to make your system more secure. (NAT, no access to internal resources from external IP’s) • If you have a firewall device (BorderManager) in place – E-Smith should go in front… to maintain user logging features
