Accessing a GESA through the SLSA Subsystem
the logical interface (LIF) associated with the PIF. The LANMON process reports any
state transitions to other LANMON processes.
Refer to the LAN Configuration and Management Manual for information about the
SLSA subsystem.
Accessing a GESA through the SLSA Subsystem
The SLSA subsystem provides access to the GESA. You can configure the following
subsystems and utilities to access a GESA through the SLSA subsystem:
•
NonStop TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, and NonStop TCP/IPv6 subsystems,
which interface the SLSA subsystem to provide connectivity to TCP/IP networks.
The following subsystems and utilities can be configured to access NonStop
TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, or NonStop TCP/IPv6 subsystems:
°
Expand subsystem, which interfaces to the TCP/IP subsystem to provide
Expand-over-IP connections.
°
Telserv and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), which use the socket library to
establish remote connections through the TCP/IP subsystem.
°
Other HP subsystems, such as Remote Server Call (RSC), that can be
configured to establish connections through the TCP/IP subsystem.
•
Port Access Method (PAM) subsystem, which interfaces the SLSA subsystem to
provide an independent interface to Ethernet networks and user-written
applications that use the PAM subsystem port interface.
Note. SCF commands issued to the LANMONs or the LANMAN will not be accepted while
processes are starting or if the backup LANMAN is taking over from the primary LANMAN. The
SLSA subsystem will return the following error message: SLSA process is busy....
