Screen

In general, editing is better than creating one because they are automatically created during installation. If you specify a Screen, you can define packet-filtering rules that encrypt traffic between any two machines, not just between an Administration Station and a Screen.

Screen Object

The common object Screen defines attributes associated with each distinct Screen. You can set miscellaneous Screen parameters, SNMP parameters, and mail proxy parameters for screen objects that already exit.

You create new screen objects to configure high availability (HA) and centralized management.

Define Screen's Name Properly

SunScreen automatically chooses a name for each Screen based on the hostname setting output by uname -n. Various situations exist in which this name is used as an IP host name (IP address) for remote administration and centralized management groups.

You must, therefore, define each Screen's name as a valid IP address for that Screen. The definition must be accessible through /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS on every remote administration station as well as every Screen in a centralized management group.

You cannot modify the Screen named * in any way.
