Name

Specifies a logical name for the web server. This can be the host name of the machine, or any name you choose.

Web server type

Indicates the type of web server you are using.

Node

Name of the node on which the web server is defined. This column only applies for the WAS ND.

Version of the WAS on which the web server is defined.

Status

Indicates whether the web server is started, stopped, or unavailable.
If IBM HTTP Server is defined on an unmanaged node, start the IBM HTTP Server administration server before you can start and stop IBM HTTP Server.
If the status is unavailable, the node agent or IBM HTTP Server administration server is not running in that node, and start the node agent before you can start the web server.

Status indicators. The following table describes the status indicators.
Started The web server is running.
Stopped The web server is not running.
Unknown Status cannot be determined.
A web server with an unknown status might, in fact, be running but has an unknown status because the application server that is running the admin console cannot communicate with this web server.
