NET.CFG Sub Headings Detail
Scope
Scope <String>
This subheading can exist multiple times in the SRVLOC section if adding multiple scope names.
<String> can be a constant or a variable scope name. A scope name is defined as it is for the Windows NT/2K SRVLOC implementation.
The following constant values, excluding quotes, globally configures SRVLOC for SLP unscoped operation. SRVLOC defaults to scoped operation: or unscoped or .
Directory Agent
Directory Agent <String>
This subheading can exist multiple times in the SRVLOC section if configuring multiple directory agents.
<String> can be either an IP address or a DNS name.
Static Scopes
Static Scopes <Boolean>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Boolean>: Set to TRUE if static scopes should be enabled. SRVLOC defaults to FALSE.
DHCP
DHCP <Boolean>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Boolean>: Set to FALSE to disable DHCP usage. SRVLOC defaults to TRUE.
Active Discovery
Active Discovery <Boolean>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Boolean>: Set to FALSE to disable active discovery. SRVLOC defaults to TRUE.
Use Broadcast For Multicast
Use Broadcast For Multicast <Boolean>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Boolean>: Set to TRUE to enable the use of broadcast messages in place of multicast messages. SRVLOC defaults to FALSE.
Multicast Radius
Multicast Radius <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 32. This configures the SLP multicast message time to live (TTL). 32 is the RFC standard value.
MTU
MTU <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 1400. Configures the SLP maximum Transmittable Unit (MTU) in bytes. 1400 is the RFC standard value.
TIME-0-CACHE-REPLIES
TIME-0-CACHE-REPLIES <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 1. Configures the number of MINUTES that SLP will cache replies from the network.
TIME-1-REG-LIFETIME
TIME-1-REG-LIFETIME <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 10800 (3 hours).. This configures the Service Registration lifetime. The value is in SECONDS.
TIME-6-QUIT-DA-WAIT
TIME-6-QUIT-DA-WAIT <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 5 seconds. This configures the maximum amount of time before giving up on DA requests. This value is in SECONDS.
TIME-8-QUIT-SA-Q
TIME-8-QUIT-SA-Q <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 15 seconds. This configures the maximum amount of time before giving up on SA queries. This value is in SECONDS.
TIME-10-WAIT-REG-DA-PASSIVE
TIME-10-WAIT-REG-DA-PASSIVE <Integer>
This subheading can only exist ONCE in the SRVLOC section.
<Integer>: Defaults to 2 seconds. This configures the amount of delay before the first server registration request is sent. This value is in SECONDS.
