Accessing a G4SA through the SLSA Subsystem
Accessing a G4SA through the SLSA Subsystem
The SLSA subsystem provides access to the G4SA as shown in Figure 1-2. To access
a G4SA through the SLSA subsystem, you can configure the following subsystems:
Subsystems Description
TCP/IP subsystems
•
NonStop TCP/IP
subsystem
•
Parallel Library
TCP/IP subsystem
•
NonStop TCP/IPv6
subsystem
The TCP/IP subsystems interface the SLSA subsystem to
provide TCP/IP network connectivity. These subsystems and
utilities can be configured to access the TCP/IP subsystems:
•
Expand subsystem which provides Expand-over-IP
connections.
•
Telserv and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), which use the
socket library to establish remote connections.
•
Other HP subsystems, such as Remote Server Call (RSC)
Port Access Method
(PAM) subsystem
Interfaces the SLSA subsystem to provide an independent
interface to Ethernet networks and user-written applications that
use the PAM subsystem port interface.
WAN Subsystem Interfaces the SLSA subsystem to provide Ethernet
connections to a SWAN concentrator.
