Stealth Mode

Stealth mode firewall partitions an existing single network and, consequently, does not permit you to subnet the network. Stealth-mode interfaces do not have IP addresses, and bridge the MAC layer.

In stealth mode, you must configure one interface as an administration interface. This interface is special case of a routing interface that is configured so that it only passes encrypted administration traffic to the Screen from a remote Administration Station.

If all of your interfaces are in stealth mode, SunScreen offers optional hardening of the OS, which removes packages and files from the Solaris operating system that are not used by SunScreen.
