Perform this task to configure the addresses for the Service Location Protocol (SLP) directory agent (DA) for Multiple Device Manager (MDM). MDM uses the DA addresses during discovery.
When configured with DAs, the MDM SLP user agent (UA) sends service requests to each of the configured DA addresses in turn to discover the registered services for each. The UA also continues discovery of registered services by performing multicast service discovery. This additional action ensures that registered services are discovered when going from an environment without DAs to one with DAs.
Perform the following steps to configure the addresses for the SLP directory agent:
SLP checks that the specified host exists and is reachable. If not, SLP displays an error message, such as, The host does not exist or could not be reached. In this case, the host is not added in the SLP Directory Agents Table.
