slp command

This command sets and displays the service location protocol (SLP) settings for the management module.

Table 1. slp command
Function What it does Command Valid targets
Display management-module SLP settings Displays the SLP settings for the primary management module. Returned values are:
  • -t address_type
  • -i multicast_addr
slp
                           -T system:mm[x]
                        

where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Set management-module SLP address type Sets the SLP address type for the primary management module. slp -t address_type

where address_type is multicast or broadcast.

Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).

                           -T system:mm[x]
                        

where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Set management-module SLP multicast address Sets the SLP multicast address for the primary management module. slp -i multicast_addr

where multicast_addr is the multicast IP address.

Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).

                           -T system:mm[x]
                        

where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Example:

To set the SLP address type of the management module to multicast, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type
                  slp -t multicast
               
To display the SLP settings of the management module, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type
                  slp
               

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

               system:mm[1]> slp -t multicast
OK
system:mm[1]> slp
-t multicast
-i 255.255.255.255
system:mm[1]>
