Task 

Description 

For Instructions 

Configure the net.slp.interfaces property

Set this property to enable slpd to listen for unicast and multicast/broadcast SLP requests on the specified interfaces.

Configuring the net.slp.interfaces Property

Arrange proxy service advertisements so that UAs on subnets get service URLs with reachable addresses 

Restrict proxy advertisement to a machine that is running slpd connected to a single subnet rather than a multihomed host.

Proxy Advertising on Multihomed Hosts

Place the DAs and configure scopes to assure reachability between UAs and SAs 

Configure the net.slp.interfaces property on multihomed hosts with a single interface host name or address.

Run a DA on a multihomed host, but configure scopes so that SAs and UAs on each subnet use different hosts.
