Address type
This is the address type that the MM SLP server listens on. If
Broadcast is selected, the SLP server listens on the broadcast address
of 255.255.255.255. If Multicast is selected, the SLP server listens on
the IP address that is specified in the Multicast address field. The
default for this field is Multicast.
Multicast address
This is the multicast IP address that the MM SLP server listens on if the
Address type field is set to Multicast. The default multicast address is
239.255.255.253. If you change this address, you must enter a multicast
IP address (its first byte must be between 224 and 239).
Secure Web server and secure LDAP
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security protocol that provides communication
privacy. SSL enables client/server applications to communicate in a way that is
designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.
You can configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter II to use SSL support for two
types of connections: secure Web server (HTTPS) and secure LDAP connection
(LDAPS). The Remote Supervisor Adapter II takes on the role of SSL client or SSL
server depending on the type of connection. The following table shows that the
Remote Supervisor Adapter II acts as an SSL server for secure Web server
connections. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II acts as an SSL client for secure
LDAP connections.
