To find services provided via SLP in your network, use an SLP front-end. openSUSE contains several front-ends:
slptool is a simple command line program that can be used to announce
SLP inquiries in the network or announce proprietary services.
slptool --help lists all
available options and functions. slptool can also be called from
scripts that process SLP information. For example, to find all network
time servers that annouce themselves in the current network, run the
command:
slptool findsrvs service:ntp
Within YaST there is also a SLP browser available. However, this
browser is not available through the YaST Control Center. To start
this YaST module, run yast2 slp as
root user. Click on the
different protocols on the lefthand side of the user interface to get
more information about the respective service.
