Service Location Protocol (SLP) support

•
slptool script that starts up the slptool platform-specific program
•
slptool program that can be used to verify that SLP is operating properly. A different slptool
exists for Solaris, Linux, AIX, and Windows.
By default, the SMI-A is configured to advertise itself as a Service Agent (SA). The advertised SLP
template shows its location (IP address) and the WBEM Services it supports. The default
advertised WBEM services show that the SMI-A:
•
accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988
•
accepts WBEM requests over HTTPS using SSL on TCP port 5989
slptool commands
Although the IP address shown below might vary, the following slptool commands can be used to
verify that the SLP is operating properly:
•
slptool findsrvs service:service-agent
This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly running as a Service Agent (SA).
Although the IP address might be different, it should produce output similar to the following:
service:service-agent://127.0.0.1,65535
•
slptool findsrvs service:wbem
This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM services.
Although the IP address might be different, it should produce output similar to the following:
service:wbem:https://10.0.1.3:5989,65535
service:wbem:http://10.0.1.3:5988,65535
This output shows that the SMI-A:
•
accepts WBEM requests over HTTP using SSL on TCP port 5989
•
accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988
•
slptool findattrs service:wbem:http://10.0.1.2:5988
This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM SLP
template over the HTTP protocol. Note: Change the IP Address:Port to those displayed by
slptool findsrvs service:wbem.
•
slptool findattrs service:wbem:https://10.0.1.2:5989
This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM SLP
template over the HTTPS protocol.
NOTE
Change the IP Address:Port to those displayed by slptool findsrvs service:wbem.
SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX
On Linux, Solaris, and AIX, you do not need to install the SLP service.
