SunScreen EFS Release 3.0 Reference Manual

Software and Hardware Requirements

Table 1-1 lists the installation requirements for SunScreen EFS 3.0.

Table 1-1 SunScreen EFS 3.0 Installation Requirements

Requirement 

Description 

Operating Environment 

Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 7 in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode for SPARC and x86 systems. 

Browser 

Web browser compliant with JDKTM Release 1.1.3 or later.

Browsers supported:  

  • HotJava 1.1 on Solaris running on SPARC, x86, and Win95, Win NT 4.0, and Win98

  • Netscape 4.5 and Internet Explorer 4.01, or higher, can be used to perform all administrative functions except those requiring local file access. (See below for system requirements for Internet Explorer and Netscape to run Java Plug-ins.)

Hardware 

All supported Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 7 for SPARC and x86 systems. 

Disk Space 

Minimum of 1 GB (at least 300Mbytes unused) 

Memory 

  • For machines running just the Screen: 32MB Minimum

  • For machines running the Administration Station: 32MB Minimum, 64MB strongly recommended

Network Interface Supported 

The Screen supports all Solaris supported Ethernet adapters. Additionally, when in routing mode, the Screen also supports: 

  • Sun FDDI

  • Sun Token Ring (Screen only)

  • Sun ATM* (Screen only)

The Administration Station supports all Solaris supported Ethernet adapters, plus Sun FDDI. 

Link Support 

Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, ATM (155 and 622 Mbit/sec in LAN Emulation mode), Token Ring, and FDDI. High availability and stealth-mode interfaces are only supported for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Also, high availability requires that the two boxes are connected in a non-switched hub.

Media 

CD-ROM drive and diskette drive 

* Currently, there is no support for Classical IP (cip) over ATM. There is support for lane (LAN emulation), only.

SunScreen EFS 3.0 includes the HotJava 1.1 software and the SunScreen SKIP for Solaris software.

Note -

Due to a limitation in SunScreen SKIP 1.5 for Solaris, the RC2 encryption algorithm is not available when running Solaris 7 in 64-bit mode.

Required Patches

Two patches, which are included on the SunScreen EFS 3.0 CD-ROM, are required when you are running the Solaris 2.6 operating environment.

Apply the patches to a SPARC system by typing:


# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/sparc/Patches
# patchadd 106125-06
# patchadd 105181-11

Apply the patches to an x86 system by typing:


# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/i386/Patches
# patchadd 106126-06
# patchadd 105182-13

Java Plug-In Software

Java plug-in software system requirements:

Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0

Sun Solaris 2.5 or above

Java Plug-in software, which is provided free-of-charge, is available at the following URL: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.1.2/index-1.1.2.html

Java Plug-in software enables you to direct Java technology-enabled applets on your Intranet Web pages to run using Sun's Java Runtime Environment (JRE), instead of the browser's default runtime. They enable you to support Microsoft Windows- and Sun Solaris-based browsers in your enterprise.

See Appendix A, "Using the Command Line," in the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Administration Guide for instructions on how to install the plug-in software.
