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 will advertise its presence and respond to requests for service. IPv6 support was added as defined in RFC 3111. The SA will advertise its presence via 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 will drop 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 will drop this request. State changes In the event of an IP address change, or if SSL is enabled or disabled, the service advertisement will change. The CIM Agent will let all existing DA registrations expire, and re-register 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.
