Neighborhood Scan

Neighborhood scanning is for informational purposes only. Using SLP(Service Location Protocol) with IP multicast, the auto-discovery mechanism tries to locate all the replication service announcements configured on the network segment.

Os nós com serviço de replicação ativo encontrados são listados e exibidos com a sintaxe {endereço IP}:{porta}@{domínio de replicação}:

  • IP address: interface address of the node through which replication communication is taking place (on each node the replication interface can be assigned automatically or manually via Interface Binding );
  • port: fixed at TCP 4433
  • Replication Domain: the name of the Domain to which the node belongs.

Screen with results of a neighborhood scan

The result of this scan differs slightly from the scan performed during Domain configuration, although the functionality is the same; here, all nodes of each discovered Domain are displayed, whereas the Domain option scan only shows the Domains, without specific node information.

Info

The Domain name is an administrative convenience for grouping related nodes. What effectively defines the operation of replication is first the fulfillment of the conditions mentioned in the Domain item.
