A Appendix This Appendix describes the SLP support and HTTP operations. SLP support SLP (SA) support is integrated into the CIM Agent. As long as the switch is turned on and the CIM service is enabled, the CIM Agent advertises its presence and responds to requests for service. IPv6 support was added as defined in RFC 3111. The SA advertises its presence through multicast on IPv4 and IPv6, as well as IPv4 broadcast. Advertised profiles • Service • Fabric • Switch Sub-profiles are not advertised via SLPLimitations. Limitations • The Security Parameter Index (SPI) attribute in SrvRqst message is not supported. The CIM Agent drops any request containing SPI information. • No support for the Predicate attribute in the SrvRqst message. The attribute is ignored. • The SrvTypeRqst is not supported. The CIM Agent drops this request. State changes In the event of an IP address change, or if SSL is enabled or disabled, the service advertisement changes. The CIM Agent allows all existing DA registrations to expire, and re-registers the new information with all known Discovery Agents (DA). If the CIM Agent is disabled, or the switch is shut down; no SrvDeReg is sent, instead the registration is expected to timeout. The default registration timeout is 130 seconds. The DA may require a larger timeout which would then be used for that DA. CIM operations over HTTP The following tables describe the CIM operation over HTTP.
