Transport chains collection

Use this page to view or manage transport chains. Transport chains enable communication through transport channels, or protocol stacks, which are usually socket based.

A transport chain consists of one or more types of channels, each of which supports a different type of I/O protocol, such as TCP or HTTP. Network ports can be shared among all of the channels within a chain. The Channel Framework function automatically distributes a request arriving on that port to the correct I/O protocol channel for processing.

The Transport chains page lists the transport chains defined for the selected application server. Transport chains represent network protocol stacks operating within this application server.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application servers > server_name > Ports. Click on View associated transports for the port whose transport chains you want to view.

Name

Specifies a unique identifier for the transport chain. The name must consist of alphanumeric or national language characters and can start with a number. The name must be unique within a WebSphere Application Server configuration. Click on the name of a transport chain to change its configuration settings.

Enabled

When set to true, indicates that the transport chain is activated at application server startup.

Host

Specifies the host IP address to bind for the transport chain. If the application server is on a local machine, the host name might be localhost.

Port

Specifies the port to bind for the transport chain. The port number can be any port that is not already bound to another transport chain.

SSL Enabled

When enabled, users are notified that there is a channel that enables Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in the listed transport chain. When SSL is enabled, all traffic going through this transport is encrypted and digitally secured.
