CHARON-AXP networking requires dedicated host Ethernet adapters; their number must be equal to the emulated adapters to be configured in CHARON-AXP. One adapter (optionally) can be left to the host for TCP/IP networking etc. It is also possible to use virtual network interfaces, but in consideration of performance, it is recommended to use physical ones only.

Note

In the case of For VMware-based CHARON hosts it is mandatory to use the "E1000" virtual network adapter. Please avoid usage of the "E1000E" adapter since it may lead to problems with some TCP/IP services!

Host system preparation

In case If a network-wide license (red dongle or software license) is going to be used, do the following:

  • On server side (where the network license will reside): open port 1947 for both TCP and UDP
  • On clients side: open UDP ports 30000-65535
  • Both on server and client sides: setup et default gateway

Please consult with your Linux User's Guide on details.

  1. Login as system administrator ("root") to on the host system. Because Sentinel HASP runtime relies on 32-bit compatibility libraries to run on Linux, the 32-bit compatibility libraries should be installed first:

    # yum install glibc.i686

          

  2. Create a special directory for the CHARON-AXP distribution and copy the TAR.GZ files there. Set this directory as the default with a "cd" command as shown in the following example:

    # mkdir /charon_dist
    # cp /temp/charon-axp-4.7-17101.68704.fc20.tar.gz /charon_dist
    # cd /charon_dist

Distribution preparation

  1. Extract the content contents of the distribution TAR.GZ files to the current directory:

    # tar -xvzf charon-axp-<VER>-<BN>.<VC>.<ZZ>.tar.gz

    where:

     

    Description

    VER

    Version of CHARON-AXP product, for example 4.7

    BN

    Build Number of CHARON-AXP product, for example 17101

    VC

    68704 - CHARON-AXP product vendor code

    ZZ

    CHARON-AXP target operating system identifier. For Fedora Core 20 'ZZ' value is 'fc20', for Red Hat Linux 7.1 the value is 'el71'

    Example:

    # tar -xvzf charon-axp-4.7-17101.68704.fc20.tar.gz 

    As a result, a the new directory "charon-axp-<VER>-<BN>.<VC>.<ZZ>" will be created.
     

  2. Switch to the directory, created by the "tar" on command in the previous step:

    # cd charon-axp-<VER>-<BN>.<VC>.<ZZ>

    Example:

    # cd charon-axp-4.7-17101.68704.fc20

         

  3. The distribution directory contains the following RPM files with CHARON-AXP product, Sentinel run-time, license support and utilities:

    File name

    Description

    charon-axp-VER-BN.VC.ZZ.x86_64.rpmCHARON-AXP
