Unsupported Commands

Commands listed in this section are obsolete. They are only used for abnormal maintenance or customer support functions, or as a temporary work around to limitations of the current software.

These commands are "unstable," which means that they may not be provided in future SunScreen product releases, or in versions for other operating systems.

ssadm lib/screeninfo Command

ssadm lib/statetables -f Command

ssadm lib/support Command

ssadm SKIP Commands

ssadm lib/screeninfo Command

ssadm lib/screeninfo runs in sequence several of the functions of the ssadm lib/support command, printing out a large set of information about the Screen and its current configuration.

Usage:

ssadm lib/screeninfo

The output of this command can be redirected to a file and may be requested by Sun Service if you encounter problems with your Screen.

ssadm lib/statetables -f Command

ssadm lib/statetables -f causes the Screen to flush (discard) all of its connection state information. This causes all previously active connections through the Screen to be effectively disconnected.

This command is often useful after activating a modified policy which disallows some traffic which was previously allowed. Without running ssadm lib/statetables -f, you allow any previously existing connections to remain active even if the new policy does not allow them. By running ssadm lib/statetables -f, you cause all previously existing connections to be disconnected and the active policy will apply to any subsequent connections.

ssadm lib/support Command

ssadm lib/support provides various diagnostic and status information that can be useful when requesting customer support for the SunScreen product.

Usage:

ssadm lib/support function parameters...

This information may be requested by Enterprise Services if you encounter problems with your Screen.
