Compatibility With Other SunScreen Products

SunScreen 3.2 can communicate with older SunScreen firewalls either in the clear or as part of a VPN.

The obsolete ss_client command that is used in SunScreen SPF-200, Release 1.0, and SunScreen EFS, Release 2.0, is maintained so that you can still manage Screens running these versions of the software remotely through the command line.

See Appendix A, Migrating From Earlier SunScreen Firewall Products for information regarding command compatibility with previous releases. For information regarding the current commands for SunScreen, see Appendix B, Configuration Editor Reference.

The SunScreen SKIP encryption system built into SunScreen 3.2 is compatible with other SKIP implementations, such as earlier releases of SunScreen firewall products, SunScreen SKIP for Solaris, or SunScreen SKIP for the Microsoft Windows Operating Environment. SunScreen 3.2 exchanges encrypted information with other SunScreen firewall products transparently.

To upgrade to SunScreen 3.2 from earlier SunScreen firewall releases, see the upgrading instructions in the SunScreen 3.2 Installation Guide.
