non-adjacent Describes a node on an NS
Point-to-Point 3000/iX network that is
separated from a given node by intervening
or intermediate node.
non-nailed device A session accepting
device that is not permanently associated
with an ldev number at configuration time.
When the user at such a device logs on to
an HP e3000 system, an ldev is assigned
from a pool of ldevs set aside for this
purpose at configuration time. The
association between a non-nailed device
and this temporarily assigned ldev exists
only for the duration of the session. One
advantage of the use of non-nailed device
connections is that configuration is
simplified, since it is not required that each
non-nailed device be individually
configured.
