Host Name

Specifies the IP address, DNS host name with domain name suffix, or just the DNS host name, used by a client to request a Web application resource (such as a servlet, JSP file, or HTML page).

For example, the host alias name might be myhost. In such a case, the DNS name might be myhost:8080, where 8080 is the port. A URL would refer to this DNS as follows: http://myhost:8080/servlet/snoop.

For existing instances, the default reflects the value specified when the product was initially set up. For new instances, the default might be *, meaning any value allowed, or there might be no value specified.

Data type	String
Default	*

Port

Specifies the port for which the Web server has been configured to accept client requests. Specify a port value in conjunction with the host name.

The default reflects the value specified when the product was initially set up. The default might be 80, 9080 or some similar value.

Data type	Integer
Default	80
