Operating System Package Requirements

You should ensure that the required Solaris packages reside on both the Screen and the Administration Station.

Screen Solaris Packages

If you do not plan on using the administration GUI on your Screen (either because you are doing remote administration or you have chosen to use only the command line interface for administration) you will only need to install the Core distribution of Solaris as well as the packages listed in this section.

---

Note -

If you only install the Core Distribution of Solaris, you will either have to change your DISPLAY variable for using the installer to a machine with a windowing system or install using the command line installation procedure described in "Command Line Installation."

---

If you plan on using the administration GUI on your Screen itself, you will need to install the End User Distribution of Solaris, as well as the packages listed in the following table.

In addition to the patches provide by SunScreen, make sure you install all recommended security patches available for your operating environment. For security reasons, you should always keep your operating environment up to date with available patches.

Additional Requirements and Restrictions

• SunScreen 3.1 only supports IPv4 in the Solaris 8 operating environment.

• The Screen can support up to 15 network interfaces at one time.

• The SunScreen 3.1 CD includes the SunScreen^TM SKIP for Solaris software. The PC version of SKIP is available separately or as part of the Secure Net bundle.

• A remote Administration Station can connect directly to a Screen only through an Ethernet local area network (LAN) or a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). An Administration Station can connect to the Screen by an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Token Ring LAN, but only after it is connected directly to the network by way of an Ethernet or FDDI connection first.

• If you will be operating the Screen in routing mode, configure all network interfaces that will be used. See the documentation accompanying the Solaris operating environment, if needed.

• If you will be operating the Screen in stealth mode, configure only the network interface that will be used for remote administration. See the documentation accompanying the Solaris operating environment, if needed.
