Limiting UAs and SAs to Statically Configured DAs

In some cases, it might be necessary to limit UAs and SAs to obtain only their DA addresses from the static configuration information in the slp.conf file. You can accomplish this by disabling passive and active DA discovery in slpd.

Disable passive discovery by setting the net.slp.passiveDADetection property to False. This causes slpd to ignore unsolicited DA advertisements.

Disable initial and periodic active discovery by setting the net.slp.DAActiveDiscoveryInterval to -1. This causes slpd to refrain from performing initial active DA discovery, and from periodically polling for new DAs.

Perform these configurations only on those hosts executing the UAs and SAs that are restricted to using their static configurations. As a consequence of these configuration actions, slpd obtains DA information only from the net.slp.DAAddresses property in the slp.conf file.
