You can view, edit, or create the transport addresses at which a server accepts client connections in the Network Transport Editor window.
This window displays the name of the server entry for the address and allows you to configure the following items:
Transport type – specifies the protocol and interface for the address.
Address information – depending on the transport type, different address components are required. The following sections discuss address formats in detail.
The address information for a TCP/IP entry consists of a host name (or IP address) and a port number (entered as a decimal number). For tli tcp-formatted interfaces entries, the host’s IP address and the port number are converted to the 16-byte hexadecimal representation required for tli tcp-formatted interfaces entries.
Adaptive Server does not support the TLI interface in
threaded mode.
In interfaces entries, use tli tcp for:
All pre-10.0 clients on platforms that use tli-formatted interfaces entries
Adaptive Server or Replication Server version 11.0.x or earlier on platforms that use tli- formatted interfaces entries
Use tcp for other clients and servers.
To indicate a TCP/IP address, choose tcp or tli tcp from the Transport Type menu.
SPX/IPX addresses allow Adaptive Server to listen for connections from client applications running on a Novell network. SPX/IPX addresses consist of the following information:
Host address – an eight digit hexadecimal value representing the IP address of the computer on which the server runs. Each component of the dot-separated decimal IP address format maps to one byte in the hex address format. For example, if your host’s IP address is 128.15.15.14, enter “800F0F0E” as the SPX/IPX host address value.
Port number – the port number, expressed as a four-digit hexadecimal number.
Endpoint – the path for the device file that points to the SPX device driver. Defaults to /dev/mspx on Solaris and /dev/nspx on any other platform. If necessary, adjust the path so that it is correct for the machine on which the server runs. The default path is based on the platform on which you are running dsedit.
To indicate an SPX/IPX address, choose tli spx or spx from the Transport Type menu.
