machine Network name or address of server’s host machine.
You can use either the host name or Internet address. Maximum size of entry is 32
bytes.
To determine the host name of a machine, log in to that machine and enter:
/bin/hostname
device The network device endpoint.
For TCP networks, the device varies according to the vendor supplying the
networking software. Check the vendor-specific documentation for the name of
the device. Your network may provide multiple stream devices corresponding to
different protocols in the TCP protocol suite. Choose the TCP streams device.
Common TCP streams devices is /dev/tcp.
address for a TLI protocol
entry Address consists of:
• Address prefix, “\x” for TLI.
• Network type, always 0002.
• Port number converted to four digits, hexadecimal. Must be a unique number
between 1025 and 65535. Check the /etc/services file on each machine on the
network to see what port numbers are in use. Enter the Adaptive Server port
number in a new section of /etc/services labeled “Sybase specific services.”
You do not have to make this entry for the operating system to function
properly, but the presence of the port number in the file may prevent other users
from using the port number.
• IP network node address of the host machine converted to 8 digits,
hexadecimal.
• Trailing zeros, optional, 16 digits.
port A unique port number between 1025 and 65535. Check the /etc/services file on
each machine on the network to see what port numbers are in use. Enter the
Adaptive Server port number in a new section of /etc/services labeled “Sybase
specific services.” You do not have to make this entry for the operating system to
function properly, but the presence of the port number in the file may prevent other
users from using that port number.
ha_failover An entry created in directory services or the interfaces file for high availability.
filter Adaptive Server supports Secure Socket Layers (SSL) as a filter which is
appended to the master and query lines of the directory services. SSL is the
standard for securing the transmission of sensitive information.
