2 Click the SLP tab.
3 Specify the IP address of the OES 2 DA servers—up to three.
4 Type the list of scopes covered by the configured DAs that you want the NetWare server to
have access to.
IMPORTANT: We recommend you do not configure the server to use multicast because that
necessitates disabling firewalls, which is never recommended.
5 Click OK.
Configuring for DA Access After Installing the NetWare Server
1 Using a text editor, edit the
following line for each DA server you want the NetWare server to have access to:
DA IPV4, IP_Address1
DA IPV4, IP_Address2
where IP_AddressX is the IP address of an OES 2 DA server.
2 Save the file and close it.
3 At the NetWare console prompt, specify the scopes you want the NetWare server to have access
to, write the SLP cache to the registry, and restart the SLP service:
set slp scope list = scope1,scope2,...
flush cdbe
set slp reset = on
4 Verify that SLP is functioning correctly by entering the following command:
display slp services
