This chapter describes how to install the VPN 5000 Client Software for Linux and Solaris on your computer.
This set of instructions describes how to install the Linux VPN 5000 Client.
You should be familiar with Linux and software installation on Linux before completing the following procedure.
The Linux VPN Client consists of a driver, which is a loadable module, and a set of commands accessible through your shell, which is used to access the applications.
The commands and some parts of the driver are distributed in binary form only.
The Linux VPN 5000 Client supports Red Hat 6.0 Linux, or compatible libraries with glibc 2.1.1-6, or later, kernel versions 2.2.5-15 (Intel).
The Linux VPN 5000 Client comes as a compressed tar file.
To unpack the files:
Step 2 Copy the Linux VPN 5000 Client file to a selected directory.
Step 3 Unpack the file using the zcat and tar commands. For example:
zcat COMPvpn-Linux-2.2.5-15-i686-991013-v3.32.tar.z | tar xvf -
This command creates a directory called COMPvpn in the current directory.
To install the Linux VPN 5000 Client:
Step 2 Type the following commands:
cd COMPvpn ./vpn_install
Step 3 At the prompt, choose a directory in which to install the VPN 5000 Client.
The default directory is /usr/local/bin. Make sure the chosen directory is accessible through your user's path.
Step 4 Select the network interface.
You can use the default, or choose your own network interface.
Step 5 Enable the VPN service by using one of the following methods:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vpn start
To disable vpn service, use this command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vpn stop
During the installation process:
1. The module is compiled, linked, and copied to either the directory /lib/modules/preferred/COMPvpn, if it exists, or to /lib/modules/"system"/COMPvpn, where "system" is the kernel version.
2. The application binaries are copied to the specified destination directory.
3. The startup file /etc/rc.d/init.d/vpn is created to enable and disable the VPN service.
4. The links /etc/rc3.d/s85vpn and /etc/rc5.d/s85vpn are added to run level 3 and run level 5 if startup at boot time is requested.
This section describes how to install the Solaris VPN 5000 Client. You should be familiar with Solaris and the installation of Solaris software before completing this procedure.
The Solaris VPN 5000 Client runs on any SPARC computer running a 32-bit Solaris kernel OS 2.5.1 or later.
Some Solaris machines run a 64-bit kernel by default. To use the Solaris VPN 5000 Client, run the 32-bit version of the kernel. One way to do this is to specify kernel/unix as the boot file.
For example, enter:
ok boot kernel/unix
The Solaris VPN Client comes as a compressed tar file.
To unpack the files:
Step 2 Copy the Solaris VPN Client file to a selected directory.
Step 3 Unpack the file using the zcat and tar commands. For example:
zcat COMPvpn-SunOS-5.7-sun4u-991013-v3.32.tar.z | tar xvf -
This command creates a directory called COMPvpn in the current directory.
If the Solaris VPN Client was previously installed, remove the old client before installing the new one.
To uninstall a package, use the pkgrm command. For example:
pkgrm COMPvpn
To install the Solaris VPN Client:
Step 2 Type the following command:
pkgadd -d . COMPvpn
Step 3 At the prompt, choose a directory to install the VPN 5000 Client applications.
You can use the default directory (by hitting Enter), or choose a directory in your user's path.
Step 4 Select the network device.
You can choose the default of hme0 for the first 100 Mbps Ethernet device, le0 for first 10 Mbps Ethernet device, or choose another network device.
Step 5 Respond Yes to any other prompts to complete the installation.
Step 6 Reboot your computer.
During installation:
1. The following the line hme - 1 0 vpnmod is added to the /etc/iu.ap file to enable the autopush facility at startup.
2. The vpn module is copied to the /kernel/strmod directory, which is in the system's module search path.
3. A vpn service startup script /etc/rc3.d/s85vpn is added to run level 3.
The pkginfo command gives information about the installed packages. For more information on other package-related commands, type:
man pkgadd
