6 Configuring SLP
This chapter describes how to configure and troubleshoot the Service Location Protocol (SLP).
You can use the /etc/slp.conf, the default configuration file, to configure the SLP daemon,
slpd.
The following are some of the agent properties that you can configure on a host through
the/etc/slp.conf file:
• Role of slpd as a Directory Agent (DA) or Service Agent (SA) server
• Static scope configuration
• Serialized proxy registrations
• UA configuration
• Network interaction
• Timing of multicast messages
• Enablement of tracing and logging for SLP
This section discusses the following topics:
• “Directory Agent Configuration Properties” (page 137)
• “Static Scope Configuration Properties” (page 137)
• “Tracing and Logging Configuration Properties” (page 138)
• “Network Configuration Properties” (page 138)
• “Service Agent Configuration Properties” (page 139)
• “User Agent Configuration Properties” (page 139)
• “Sample slp.conf File” (page 140)
Directory Agent Configuration Properties
Table 6-1 describes the configuration properties for the Directory Agent (DA).
Table 6-1 DA Configuration Properties
DescriptionProperty
A Boolean value that indicates whether the SLP server acts as a DA.
If it is false, slpd runs as an SA server. Default is false.
net.slp.isDA=true
A 32-bit integer that represents the DAheartbeat in seconds. Default
is 3 hours (10800 seconds). This value is ignored if isDA is false.
net.slp.DAHeartBeat
A comma-separated list of parenthesized attribute or value list pairs
that the DA must advertise in DAAdverts. The property must be in
the SLP attribute list wire format, including escapes for reserved
characters. This property is currently ignored.
