ProcedureHow to Configure Broadcast-Only Routing

Use the following procedure to change net.slp.isBroadcastOnly property to True.

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

    Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services. To configure a role with the Primary Administrator profile, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

  2. Stop slpd and all SLP activity on the host.


    # svcadm disable network/slp
    
  3. Back up the default /etc/inet/slp.conf file before you change the configuration settings.

  4. Change the net.slp.isBroadcastOnly property in the slpd.conf file to True:


    net.slp.isBroadcastOnly=True
  5. Save your changes and close the file.

  6. Restart slpd to activate your changes.


    # svcadm enable network/slp
