What is new in this version?
HP OSI Transport Services/9000 version C.11.01 contains several new features
and functionalities.
Features
HP OTS/9000 version C.11.01 provides RFC1006 Multiport Listening. OTS can
now listen on multiple ports. For each new port configured, an RFC1006 NSAP is
available for use by applications. An RFC1006 NSAP contains IP address and the
port number, where it listens. The default OTS implementation of RFC1006, listens
only on TCP port 102. So on a machine with only one IP address (or a single
network card), adding more RFC1006 NSAPs means making RFC1006 to listen on
multiple TCP ports.
Before starting OTS, enter the port numbers (separated by comma) for
'snet_port_num' field of ots_subnets file. For example, if you want RFC1006 to
listen on ports 102, 2134 and 589 (or any valid, unused TCP ports):
snet_port_num 102,2134,589 #your comment.
Alternatively, you can use this feature by just adding a new RFC1006 dynamic
NSAP using otsaddnsap command. OTS will start listening on the port number
available in this new NSAP.
In either case, make sure you have the following entry in ots_parms file:
rfc1006_dynamic_nsaps 32
Benefits
Upgrading to HP OTS/9000 version C.11.01 will provide RFC1006 Multiple Port
Listening.RFC1006 can be configured to listen on multiple TCP ports and hence
multiple RFC1006 NSAPs can be used on a machine with a single IP address (or
single LAN card).
Limitations
• OTS still supports only one IP address to be configured, while OTS accepts all
incoming calls coming from different cards or to different destination IP
addresses.
