Software and Hardware Requirements

Operating Environment 

1. Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, Solaris 8 (with IPv4 only) in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode for SPARC and Intel Editions

2. Trusted Solaris 7 (SPARC system only).

Administration Station  

Browsers supported:  

• A Java^TM-enabled Web browser compliant with JDK^TM, Release 1.1.3 or later.

• Netscape Navigator^TM 4.5 (with and without the Java plug-in) on the SPARC and Intel platforms

• HotJava^TM 1.1 running on the SPARC and Solaris Intel Edition platforms

• Netscape Navigator 4.5 (with or without Java plug-in) on the Intel platform

• Internet Explorer 4.0 (with or without the Java plug-in) on the Intel platform

• Netscape 4.0.1 or higher, can be used for 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 

1. All SPARCStations, UltraSPARC, and Intel Edition systems that Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8 operating environments support

2. All SPARCStations and UltraSPARC systems that Trusted Solaris 7 supports.

Disk Space 

Minimum of 1 Gbyte (with at least 300 Mbytes unused). This space is needed for the Solaris operating environment, SunScreen software, and sufficient space for storing packet logs. 

Memory 

• For machines running the Administration Station: a minimum of 32 Mbytes is required and 64 Mbytes is strongly recommended.

• For machines running just the Screen: a minimum of 32 Mbytes.

Network Interfaces Supported [The Screen can support up to 15 network interfaces of each type at one time.]

For the Screen: 

1. For SPARC and UltraSPARC systems in routing mode:

   • 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps Ethernet interfaces (le, qe, hme, be, qfe)

   • Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

   • Token Ring interfaces

   • ATM (155 and 622 Mbps in LAN emulation mode or classic IP mode)

   • FDDI, or PCI-based Ethernet cards.

2. For Intel-based systems: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces (dnet, elxl). See supported devices listed at http://soldc.com.sun/support/divers/hcl/index.html/

3. High availability requires that the two machines be connected by means of a nonswitching hub [Alteon switches can be configured to work with SunScreen HA clusters.] .

The Administration Station [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). ] :

1. For SPARC systems: 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps Ethernet interfaces (le, qe, hme, be, qfe), or FDDI, or PCI-based Ethernet cards.

   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.

2. For Solaris Intel Edition systems: 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps Ethernet interfaces (dnet, elxl).

Media 

CD-ROM drive (and a diskette drive, if you are using issued certificates).
