SLP on Windows

This section describes how to install, start, and verify the SLP daemon on Windows.

On Windows, the SLP service must be installed from a command prompt. It need only be installed once, but must be installed before starting the SMI-A.

Installing SLP on Windows

1.Open a command prompt via Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

2.Change to the directory where slpd.bat is located:

cd C:\<SMIAgent>\agent\bin

3.Run slpd -installto install the SLP service into Windows. If SLP is already installed, the following message displays:

CreateService failed - The specified service already exists. (0x431)

Starting SLP on Windows

1.Install the SLP service, as described in “Installing SLP on Windows”.

2.Open a command prompt via Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

3.Change to the directory where slpd.bat is located:

cd C:\<SMIAgent>\agent\bin

4. Run slpd -startto start the SLP service.

You can also start the SLP service from the Windows Service Console. If the SLP is installed as a Windows service, you should access the Services Console and ensure that the startup is set to Automatic.

An SLP log file can be found at:

<SMIAgent>\agent\cfg\slp.log

The SLP daemon can be reconfigured by modifying the following file:

<SMIAgent>\agent\cfg\slp.conf

Applications that do not dynamically register themselves with SLP using SLPAPIs can instead be statically registered by modifying the following file:

<SMIAgent>\agent\cfg\slp.reg
