HP B-series Network Advisor Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 11.1.2 Release Notes (5697-1433, December 2011-includes all 11.1.x versions)

Management SMI Agent SLP application support includes the following components:
• The slpd script, which starts the slpd platform
• The slpd program acts as a Service Agent (SA). A different slpd binary executable file exists
for UNIX and Windows systems.
• The slptool script, which starts the slptool platform-specific program
• The slptool program can be used to verify whether SLP is operating properly. A different slptool
exists for UNIX and Windows.
By default, the Management application SMI Agent 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 the Management application SMI Agent,
which:
• Accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988
• Accepts WBEM requests over HTTPS using SSL on TCP port 5989
slptool commands
Use the following slptool commands to verify whether the SLP is operating properly:
• slptool findsrvs service:service-agent
Use this command to verify that the Management application SMI Agent SLP service is properly
running as a Service Agent (SA). Example output:
service:service-agent://127.0.0.1,65535.
• slptool findsrvs service:wbem
Use this command to verify that the Management application SMI Agent SLP service is properly
