PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide (Issue 5)

7.5.3 OSD: Discovery Settings
The settings on this page let you enable Service Location Protocol (SLP) management
entities to discover hosts and clients dynamically in the 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.
You can display this page from the Options > Configuration > Discovery menu.
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).
