Implementing the Service Location Protocol 407novdocx (en) 11 July 2008Table 15-19 Directory Agent Features15.5.3 Using the Novell Windows NT Directory Agent “Scopes” on page 408 “Using Scopes in Local Mode” on page 408Feature Description NetWare Windows NT/2000Directory-enabledoperationDirectory mode uses eDirectory to store SLP serviceinformation. This leverages existing eDirectorystandards for configuring eDirectory tree structures,for a central point of administration, and for theability of eDirectory to replicate service information.eDirectory replication services allow DirectoryAgent-to-Directory Agent communication. This isunique in SLP implementations and it facilitatesglobal distribution of SLP database information.eDirectory replica services give the Directory Agentthe ability to access global services from a localreplica.In Directory mode, you use ConsoleOne.X XLocal mode Standalone operation. The SLP Directory Agentoperates without using eDirectory. This lets networkadministrators use SLP Directory Agents in networksegments that need the performance but don’t needto share the service information globally (WindowsNT Directory Agent Only).Use the SLP Directory Agent property pages on theWindows NT or Windows 2000 computer.XPrivate mode When operating in Private mode, the SLP DirectoryAgent accepts only SLP service registrations andrequests from SLP agents configured with the SLPDirectory Agent's IP address. In Private mode, theSLP Directory Agent does not multicast its presenceon the network and does not answer multicastrequests.XProxy scope support The SLP Directory Agent acts as proxy for scopeshosted by other SLP Directory Agents. This letsnetwork administrators distribute service informationfrom other SLP scopes, usually not visible to a localnetwork segment, without having to enable networkdirectory support.XService filtering support The SLP Directory Agent can be configured withservice filters that control the service information toand from SLP agents in the network. Additionalfilters can control the SLP service information that isstored in the network directory for global distribution.These filters provide single-point administration ofthe services made available through the SLP(Windows NT/ 2000 Directory Agent only).X X
