Hi all, I'm new to SLP and I'm also not really a network specialist...
What I want to do right now is just a little test using slptool with two computers, one acting as a SA, the other acting as a UA. I tried this in my company network but I couldn't get it running. So I thought it might be easier to start in my own little private network first. Now the thing is that there is just an (unmanaged) switch in that network, so multicasts are not supported. Is it true that SLP can also use broadcasts, if multicasts are not allowed? I found that on the SA side I can force slpd to use broadcasts. But how can I make sure that findsrvs also uses broadcasts to find the SA? In my little private network I'm using OpenSLP 2.0.0 Beta 2 on WinXP boxes. Any help or information would be highly appreciated! Thanks, Robert. PS: I posted a similar question on serverfault, but it looks like not much SLP relation discussion is going on over there. http://serverfault.com/questions/294569/using-slp-service-location-protocol-in-an-environment-without-multicast-opensl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
