Indicate a TCP/IP address by choosing tcp from the Transport type menu. In interfaces entries, you must use the tli tcp protocol for:
Adaptive Server or Replication Server® version 11.0.x or earlier on platforms that use tli-formatted interfaces entries.
Open Client and Open Server version 12.0 or earlier on platforms that use tli-formatted interfaces entries.
tli entries in the interfaces file have been deprecated
in Open Client and Open Server versions 12.5 and later. SDK and
Open Server including DB-Library, supports the tli format, however,
Sybase does not recommend its use.
On Sun Solaris, DB-Library supports tcp format.
For other clients and servers, use the tcp transport type.
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.
