Brocade Communications Systems 53-1001778-01 Slptool commands, SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX

2 Service Location Protocol (SLP) support

•slptool script that starts up the slptool platform-specific program

•slptool program that can be used to verify that SLP is operating properly. A different slptool exists for Solaris, Linux, AIX, and Windows.

By default, the SMI-A is configured to advertise itself as a Service Agent (SA). The advertised SLP template shows its location (IP address) and the WBEM Services it supports. The default advertised WBEM services show that the SMI-A:

•accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988

•accepts WBEM requests over HTTPS using SSL on TCP port 5989

slptool commands

Although the IP address shown below might vary, the following slptool commands can be used to verify that the SLP is operating properly:

•slptool findsrvs service:service-agent

This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly running as a Service Agent (SA). Although the IP address might be different, it should produce output similar to the following:

service:service-agent://127.0.0.1,65535

•slptool findsrvs service:wbem

This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM services. Although the IP address might be different, it should produce output similar to the following:

service:wbem:https://10.0.1.3:5989,65535

service:wbem:http://10.0.1.3:5988,65535

This output shows that the SMI-A:

•accepts WBEM requests over HTTP using SSL on TCP port 5989

•accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988

•slptool findattrs service:wbem:http://10.0.1.2:5988

This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM SLP template over the HTTP protocol. Note: Change the IP Address:Port to those displayed by slptool findsrvs service:wbem.

•slptool findattrs service:wbem:https://10.0.1.2:5989

This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM SLP template over the HTTPS protocol.

NOTE

Change the IP Address:Port to those displayed by slptool findsrvs service:wbem.

SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX

On Linux, Solaris, and AIX, you do not need to install the SLP service.
