The network address looks as follows:
[<protocol>://][<protocol-specific-part>]
By default, <protocol> has the TCP value. The default values of <protocol-specific-part> are determined by the application.
|
The following obsolete addresses format is also allowed: [<protocol>/][<protocol-specific-part>]. |
IP Addresses
•<interface>::=<ip-address>
<ip-address> can be either a DNS name or an IP address separated by periods (for example, 127.0.0.1).
•<socket-address>::=<interface>:<port-number>
<port-number> must be specified by a decimal number.
When you specify an address of the Server or the Agent, you can set the version of the protocol to use. The following variants are available:
•<protocol>://<interface>:<port-number> – use IPv4 and IPv6.
•<protocol>://(<interface>):<port-number> – use IPv4 only.
•<protocol>://[<interface>]:<port-number> – use IPv6 only.
Examples:
1.tcp://127.0.0.1:2193
means a TCP protocol, port 2193 on an interface 127.0.0.1.
2.tcp://(examle.com):2193
means a TCP protocol, port 2193 on an IPv4 interface examle.com.
3.tcp://[::]:2193
means a TCP protocol, port 2193 on an IPv6 interface 0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000
4.localhost:2193
the same.
5.tcp://:9999
value for the server: the default interface depending on the application (usually all available interfaces), port 9999; value for client: the default connection to the host depending on the application (usually localhost), port 9999.
6.tcp://
TCP protocol, default port.
Connection-Oriented Protocol
<protocol>/<socket-address>
where <socket-address> sets the local address of the socket for a server or a remote server for a client.
Datagram-Oriented Protocol
<protocol>://<endpoint-socket-address>[-<interface>]
Examples:
1.udp://231.0.0.1:2193
means using a multicast group 231.0.0.1:2193 on an interface depending on the application by default.
2.udp://[ff18::231.0.0.1]:2193
means using a multicast group [ff18::231.0.0.1] on an interface depending on the application by default.
3.udp://
application-dependent interface and endpoint.
4.udp://255.255.255.255:9999-myhost1
using broadcasting messages on port 9999 on myhost1 interface.
UDS Addresses
•Connection-oriented protocol:
unx://<file_name>
•Datagram-oriented protocol:
udx://<file_name>
Examples:
1.unx://tmp/drwcsd:stream
2.unx://tmp/drwcsd:datagram
SRV Addresses
srv://[<server name>][@<domain name/dot address>]
