LANMAN
LANMAN. See LAN Manager (LANMAN) process.
LAN Manager (LANMAN) process. The LANMAN process is provided as part of the SLSA
subsystem. The NonStop Kernel persistence manager starts and manages the
LANMAN process, which it starts as a generic process that runs as a NonStop process
pair in the host system processors. The LANMAN process starts and manages the
SLSA subsystem objects and also starts the LAN monitor (LANMON) process,
assigning ownership of Ethernet ServerNet addressable controllers (SACs) to the
LANMON processes in the system through an access list. SCF commands are directed
to the LANMAN processes for configuring and managing the SLSA subsystem and the
Ethernet adapters. The LANMAN process is named $ZZLAN, which is built by $ZZKRN
and maintained by the $ZPM persistence manager. See also ServerNet LAN Systems
Access (SLSA) subsystem and LAN Monitor (LANMON) process.
LANMON. See LAN Monitor (LANMON) process.
LAN Monitor (LANMON) process. The LAN monitor process is provided as part of the
SLSA subsystem. It is started and managed by the LAN Manager (LANMAN) process
and started at coldload. One LAN monitor process runs in each processor of the host
system. Each LAN monitor process has ownership of the Ethernet adapters controlled
by the SLSA subsystem. The LAN manager process assigns adapter ownership. See
ServerNet LAN Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem and LAN Manager (LANMAN)
process.
LIF. See logical interface (LIF).
LED. See light-emitting diode (LED).
light-emitting diode (LED). A semiconductor device that emits light from its surface.
Indicator lights are composed of LEDs.
local area network (LAN). (1) The cables, electrical interfaces, workstations, and other
devices that are interconnected and that are physically located in close proximity to
each other. One or more LANs can be connected to the system such that the LAN
users can access the system as if their workstations were connected directly to it. (2) A
network that is located in a small geographical area, whose communications
technology provides a high-bandwidth, low-cost medium to which low-cost nodes can
be connected.
logical interface (LIF). The interface that allows an application or another process to
communicate with data communications hardware.
Mbps. See megabits per second (Mbps).
megabits per second (Mbps). A data rate equal to 1,048,576 bits per second.
MFIOB. See multifunction I/O board (MFIOB).
