7.5 Configuring Device Discovery
7.5.1 MC: Discovery Settings
The settings on this page let you configure a profile to use SLP discovery, a PCoIPMC
DNS-based discovery prefix, and/or DNS-SRV discovery to discover hosts and clients
dynamically in a PCoIP system without requiring prior knowledge of their locations in the
network. Using a discovery mechanism can dramatically reduce configuration and
maintenance effort for complex systems.
Note: SLP discovery mechanism requires all PCoIP devices and the MC to reside on the
same network subnet. For SLP discovery to work across subnets, routers must be configured
to forward multicast traffic between subnets. Because most deployments do not allow this,
the recommended discovery mechanism in this case is to configure DHCP Vendor Class
Options directly in the DHCP server. For more information about DHCP Options discovery,
see the "Configuring Device Discovery" section of the "PCoIP® Management Console User
Manual" (TER0812002).
Note: To enable a property in the MC, click the Set in Profile checkbox and configure the
fields as indicated. After you update the properties on this page, click Save to save your
changes.
