LANMAN
LANMAN. See LAN Manager (LANMAN) process.
LAN Manager (LANMAN) process. LANMAN is provided as part of the ServerNet LAN
systems access (SLSA) subsystem. The NonStop Kernel subsystem starts LANMAN,
and the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) product module manages it. LANMAN is
started as a generic process and runs as a NonStop process pair in the host system
processors. LANMAN starts and manages the SLSA subsystem objects and starts the
LAN Monitor (LANMON) process. SCF commands go to the LANMAN process for
configuring and managing the SLSA subsystem and the Ethernet or token-ring adapters.
LANMAN is always named $ZZLAN.
LANMON. See LAN Monitor (LANMON) process
.
LAN Monitor (LANMON) process. LANMON is provided as part of the ServerNet LAN
systems access (SLSA) subsystem. The LAN Manager (LANMAN) process manages
and starts LANMON as a generic process. One LANMON runs in each processor of the
host system. Each LANMON process has ownership of the Ethernet or token-ring
adapters controlled by the ServerNet LAN systems access (SLSA) subsystem.
LANMAN assigns adapter ownership.
LAN Print Spooler for NetWare. Compaq print process that delivers print spooler jobs to
NetWare print queues.
LIF. See logical interface (LIF)
.
LISTOPENS. A nonsensitive command
used to display the names of the processes that
opened the NonStop IPX/SPX SUBSYS or PROCESS object.
LLC. See Logical Link Control (LLC)
.
local area network (LAN). Any physical network technology that operates at high speed
(usually tens of megabits per second through several gigabits per second) over short
distances (up to a few thousand meters).
logical interface (LIF). The interface that allows an application or another process to
communicate with data communications hardware.
Logical Link Control (LLC). An IEEE 802.2 standard for the Data Link Layer of the OSI
Reference Model that defines both connection-oriented and connectionless standards
over local area networks (LANs).
MAC address. See Media Access Control (MAC) address
.
management process. In Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
, a Compaq process
through which an application issues commands to a subsystem. A management process
can be part of a subsystem, or it can be associated with more than one subsystem; in the
latter case, the management process is logically part of each of the subsystems. The
Subsystem Control Point (SCP)
is the management process for all Compaq data
communications subsystems that support DSM.
