SAProuter inquiry : Microsoft MUI & IP public

[Former Member]

Hello gurus,

We started a survey to change our SAProuter acrhitecture to SAProuter 7.0 version.

As we overviewed all prerequisites, I do require confirmation on the 2 following points :

1. As saprouter program will be installed on host which already exists

and is located in DMZ, the existing Windows operating system version is

W2003 Server Standard Edition in french version.

Thus, we would like SAP support to confirm that SAProuter program can

be installed and will run correctly on Windows 2003 Standard Edition in

french version as SAP note 690432 'Windows 2003 Support' mentions that

SAP supports such an hardware configuration if Windows Multilanguage

User Interface (MUI) kit is installed and that W2003 Standard Edition

is supported for 'test or small systems only' (only saprouter program

will run on this host)

2. One of the requirements of saprouter installation is to provide

public @IP to SAP.

As we get such an IP adress, we require SAP support to confirm that

this IP adress will work properly as below :

Saprouter will be installed on host which is located in DMZ (SAP

requirement) what does mean 'between our 2 firewalls'

Thus, connection from sap will be translated by first firewall which

will redirect to public adress provided

Question : Must the host on which saprouter will run have one and only

one IP adress?

As mentionned previously, host already exists and has already an IP

adress : then, public @IP provided will have to be translated by

firewall.

Then, will such a configuration work fine?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Rgds,

Zulain

For just saprouter this will work, it does nothing but handling network connection.

The saprouter must be reachable from the inside (to make e. g. transaction SNOTE to work) and from the outside so that the support can access your systems in case of a problem.

The IP adresse visisible to the inside of your network doesn't care, you just need to make sure the routing settings are correctly set up on your firewall.
