The Network Transport Editor window allows you to view, edit, or create the transport addresses at which a server accepts client connections. 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. For all platforms except Digital UNIX, values are tcp, tli tcp, tli spx, and spx. For Digital UNIX, values are decnet, tcp, and tli tcp.
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.
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.
