On page 170, in the SMI Agent configuration section, add the following information: Service Location Protocol (SLP) support The Management application SMI Agent uses Service Location Protocol (SLP) to allow applications to discover the existence, location, and configuration of WBEM services in enterprise networks. You do not need a WBEM client to use SLP discovery to find a WBEM Server; that is, SLP discovery might already know about the location and capabilities of the WBEM Server to which it wants to send its requests. In such environments, you do not need to start the SLP component of the Management application SMI Agent. However, in a dynamically changing enterprise network environment, many WBEM clients might choose to use SLP discovery to find the location and capabilities of other WBEM Servers. In such environments, start the SLP component of the Management application SMI Agent to allow advertisement of its existence, location, and capabilities. SLP installation is optional and you can configure it during Management application configuration. Once installed, SLP starts whenever the Management application SMI Agent starts. Management application SMI Agent SLP support includes the following components: • slpd script starts the slpd platform. • slpd program acts as a Service Agent (SA). A different slpd binary executable file exists for UNIX and Windows systems. • slptool script starts the slptool platform-specific program. • slptool program can be used to verify whether SLP is operating properly or not. 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: • 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 determine whether the SLP is operating properly. • slptool findsrvs service:service-agent B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 23

On page 170, in the SMI Agent configuration section, add the following information:
Service Location Protocol (SLP) support
The Management application SMI Agent uses Service Location Protocol (SLP) to allow applications
to discover the existence, location, and configuration of WBEM services in enterprise networks.
You do not need a WBEM client to use SLP discovery to find a WBEM Server; that is, SLP discovery
might already know about the location and capabilities of the WBEM Server to which it wants to send
its requests. In such environments, you do not need to start the SLP component of the Management
application SMI Agent.
However, in a dynamically changing enterprise network environment, many WBEM clients might
choose to use SLP discovery to find the location and capabilities of other WBEM Servers. In such
environments, start the SLP component of the Management application SMI Agent to allow advertisement
of its existence, location, and capabilities.
SLP installation is optional and you can configure it during Management application configuration.
Once installed, SLP starts whenever the Management application SMI Agent starts.
Management application SMI Agent SLP support includes the following components:
slpd script starts the slpd platform.
slpd program acts as a Service Agent (SA). A different slpd binary executable file exists for UNIX
and Windows systems.
slptool script starts the slptool platform-specific program.
slptool program can be used to verify whether SLP is operating properly or not. 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:
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 determine whether the SLP is operating properly.
