link level address | Also referred
to as MAC address or station address. A
link level address is the unique address of the LAN interface card.
This value can be configured in SAM and lanadmin. An example of a link
level address in hexadecimal: 0800090012AB. | Interface
card; can be changed in /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf file. Refer to Table 3-3 “Matrix of HP-UX 11i Driver names, Configuration
Files and Init Scripts” for correct filename. | linkloop diagnostic; internals of networking software to uniquely
identify nodes on the LAN; displayed by lanadmin and lanscan diagnostics. |
internet
(IP) address | Also referred
to as IP address. An
internet address is the network address of a computer node. This address
identifies which network the host is on (see network address description
below) and which host it is (see host address description below). An
example of an internet address: 192.6.23.3 | /etc/hosts;
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf. | Typically
used in combination with the network address to form an internet
address. HP-UX ifconfig command. |
network address | Also, network
number. The network address
is the network portion of an internet address that represents the
local network on which a host exists. The network address is the same
for all nodes on that network. Refer to "Internet Addresses" in
this chapter for a definition of Internet address classes. If
the IP address is 192.6.23.3 (Class C), and the subnet address is 255.255.255.0,
then the network address portion is 192.6.23. | /etc/networks. Combined with host address
in /etc/hosts. | Routing
facility. Displayed by: netstat -in, netstat -rn, and netstat -rnv. HP-UX ifconfig command. |
host address | Also, host
number. The host address is
that portion of the internet address that is unique to the network.
The host address identifies a particular node on the network. Refer to "Internet
Addresses" in this chapter for a definition of Internet
address classes. If the IP address is
192.6.23.3 (Class C), and subnet address is 255.255.255.0, then
the host address portion is 3. | Combined
with network address in /etc/hosts. | Typically
used in combination with the network address to form an internet
address. HP-UX ifconfig command. |
port address | Also referred
to as TCP port number, UDP port
number, or simply port. A
port address is an address within a host that is used to differentiate between
multiple communication endpoints with the same internet address
and protocol. A port address is associated with a particular service. Well
known port numbers are defined by RFC 923, "Assigned Numbers." For
example, if your local address is listed as 192.6.23.3.1023, then
.1023 is the port address. | /etc/services. | Service
requests. Displayed by netstat -an. |
socket
address | A socket
address is declared in processes defined by the interprocess communication
software. Refer to Using Internet Services for
more information on interprocess communication. Refer to the sockaddr struct in the BSD Sockets Interface
Programmer's Guide for examples. | Socket
address variables. | Interprocess communication. |
system
name | Also referred
to as the system host name and system
node name. This is the name
your HP-UX system is known by and is assigned using the HP-UX uname command. An example of
a system name is: host3. Assigned automatically by the system. | /etc/rc.config.d/netconf (as HOSTNAME variable). | uucp facilities. |
host name node
name | Also known
as the Internet host name and NFS
host name. A symbolic name
associated with an internet address by which a node can be uniquely
identified. An example of a host name is: host3. Assigned by using the hostname command. | /etc/hosts ;
/etc/hosts.equiv (optional);
$HOME/.rhosts (optional) ;
$HOME/.netrc (optional) ;
/usr/adm/inetd.sec (optional) . | All Internet Services
and VT3K. |
