- Service Location Protocol Daemon
/usr/lib/inet/slpd [-fconfiguration-file]
Theslpd daemon provides common server functionality for the Service Location Protocol (“SLP”)versions 1 and 2, as defined by IETF inRFC 2165 andRFC 2608.SLP provides a scalable framework for the discovery and selection of networkservices.
slpd provides the following framework services:
This service automatically caches service advertisements from service agents to provide them to user agents, and makes directory agent advertisements of its services. This service is optional.slpd does not provide directory agent service by default. Directory agents are not databases, and they do not need to be maintained.
All service agents on the local host register and deregister with this server. This service responds to all requests for services, and forwards registrations to directory agents. By default,slpd is a service agent server.
This service listens for directory agent advertisements and maintains a table of active directory agents. When a user agent wishes to discover a directory agent, it can simply queryslpd, obviating the need to perform discovery by means of multicast. By default,slpd performs this service.
This service can act as a proxy service agent for services that cannot register themselves.slpd reads the proxy registration file for information on services it is to proxy. By default, no services are registered by proxy.
All configuration options are available from the configuration file.slpd reads itsconfiguration file upon startup.
Stop and start the slpd daemon usingsvcadm(1M). Use the commandsvcadm enable network/slp to start the slpd daemon. Use the commandsvcadm disable network/slp to stop it.
The file/etc/inet/slp.conf must exist before theslp service can start thedaemon. Only the example file/etc/inet/slp.conf.example is present by default. To enableSLP, copy/etc/inet/slp.conf.example to/etc/inet/slp.conf.
The following options are supported:
Specify an alternate configuration file
Example 1 Stopping theslpd daemon
The following command stops theslpd daemon:
example# svcadm disable network/slp
Example 2 Restarting theslpd daemon
The following command restarts theslpd daemon:
example# svcadm restart network/slp
The default configuration file
The proxy registration file

Theslpd service is managed by the service management facility,smf(5), underthe service identifier:
svc:/network/slp
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart,can be performed usingsvcadm(1M). The service's status can be queried usingthesvcs(1) command.
