Deploying the SMC server on the virtual environment

You must first deploy the SMC server on a VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V or KVM virtual environment.

To know the versions of the virtual environments compatible with SMC, please refer to the document Product life cycle Network Security and Tools.

The SMC server uses the e1000 virtual network interface.

We recommend that you install the SMC server in a DMZ.

Refer to the section Adapting the size of the virtual environment according to the number of SNS firewalls in order to properly size your environment.
