Setting the SCMD.NLM to Provide IP Backbone Support

Configuring for SLP Independent Backbone Support

By default, IP Backbone is enabled when the SCMD.NLM is loaded using the
/MA option. Ensure the following:
Each IPX disconnected network has at least one Migration Agent running
SCMD.
All the Migration Agents should have NetWare Link Service Protocol
(NLSP) routing enabled and should have the same CMD network
number.
SLP visibility exists among all the Migration Agents.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communication (Port 2645) is enabled
between all the Migration Agents.
To check whether IP Backbone is working, enter the following command:
Display Servers
This command will display all the services of which the server is aware.
You can configure CMD not to be dependent on SLP to discover other
Migration Agents in the network. By default, the product uses SLP to discover
Migration Agents in the network. To make it SLP independent, enter the
following command at the console prompt:
Set No SLP Option = ON
When the product is operating in the SLP independent mode, you can set the
time for the Migration Agents to exchange discovery information with each
other. The default value is 10 minutes.
NOTE:
The time set using this option will not affect the actual service and route
information exchange.
To set the communication time, enter the following command:
Set MA Communication Time = X minutes
The communication time should be the same for all the Migration Agents on
the network.
