A Appendix
This Appendix describes the following SLP support, advertised profiles, state
changes, limitations, HTTP operations, and Fibre Channel Transparent Mode
(FC-T mode).
SLP Support
SLP (SA) support is integrated into the CIMAgent. As long as the switch is turned
on and the CIM service is enabled, the CIMAgent will advertise its' presence and
respond to requests for service. Ipv6 support was added as defined in RFC 3111.
The SA will advertise it's presence via multicast on IPv4 and IPv6 as well as IPv4
broadcast.
Advertised Profiles

Sub profiles are not advertised via SLPLimitations
Limitations
No support for SPI attribute in SrvRqst message. The CIMAgent will drop
any request containing SPI information.
No support for the Predicate attribute in the SrvRqst message. The attribute
is ignored.
The SrvTypeRqst is not supported. The CIMAgent will drop this request.
State Changes
In the event of an IP address change, or if SSL is enabled or disabled, the service
advertisement will change. The CIMAgent will let all existing DA registrations
expire, and re-register the new information with all known Discovery Agents (DA).
If the CIMAgent is disabled, or the switch is shut down; no SrvDeReg will be sent,
instead the registration is expected to timeout.
