Supplemental SunScreen EFS 3.0 Documentation

The following information was not included in the documentation when the SunScreen EFS 3.0 documents were printed.

SunScreen EFS 3.0 Reference Manual

The following supplements the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Reference Manual.

HA in Stealth Mode

Chapter 2 of the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Reference Manual states that HA is supported only in routing mode. SunScreen EFS 3.0 supports HA in routing mode and in stealth mode.


Note -

When you activate the configuration for HA in stealth mode, the console displays a list of error messages. You can disregard these messages; the Screen is functioning properly. For more information, see "Error Message When Activating HA Stealth Configuration (4252244)".


Mixed Interfaces

SunScreen EFS 3.0 supports both routing and stealth interfaces on a single Screen. You can model a Screen with a mixture of routing and stealth interfaces as though it were two completely separate Screens, one containing the stealth interfaces and the other containing routing interfaces. If you configure your Screen in this way, you must have at least two interfaces of each type.

The following sections show two supported configurations.

Separate Network

The separate network configuration consists of a Screen that has two stealth interfaces and two routing interfaces. Although both types of interfaces are on the same machine, packets cannot pass between the stealth and routing interfaces.

Figure 1-1 Separate Network Configuration

Graphic

This configuration is subject to the following restrictions:

Proxied Stealth

The proxied stealth configuration consists of a Screen that has two stealth interfaces, two routing interfaces, and a router that passes packets from a stealth interface to a routing interface. Use this type of configuration if you want to use proxy services with a stealth machine.

Figure 1-2 Proxied Stealth Configuration

This configuration is subject to the following restrictions:

SunScreen EFS 3.0 Installation Guide

The following information updates the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Installation Guide.

Installing SunScreen EFS 3.0 in Stealth Mode (4252799)

The procedure shown in Chapter 5 of the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Installation Guide for installing the software on the Screen using self-generated certificates contains steps that do not apply when you install SunScreen EFS 3.0 in stealth mode.

Omit steps 17 through 19 when you use the procedure for installing the software on the Screen using self-generated certificates.

Upgrading From SunScreen EFS 3.0, Revision A, to SunScreen EFS 3.0, Revision B, on the Administration Station

The following procedures describe how to upgrade to SunScreen EFS 3.0, revision B, from SunScreen EFS 3.0, revision A, on the Administration Station. These procedures are necessary only if you have previously installed and are running SunScreen EFS 3.0, revision A.

Identify the software version by typing:
