NAME
server-discovery - Configures the dynamic discovery of servers that can be reached through the local endpoint and the
routes to reach them.

DESCRIPTION
You can use the server-discovery component to configure the dynamic discovery of servers and the routes to reach them
through the local endpoint. The local endpoint advertises these routes to any remote endpoints to which it is connected.

EXAMPLES
list server-discovery all-properties

Displays the settings for dynamic discovery of advertised routes.

modify server-discovery mode disabled

Disables the dynamic discovery of advertised routes.

OPTIONS
auto-save
Specifies whether the system automatically saves the subnets that it discovers that can reached through the local
endpoint. The default value is enabled.

description
User defined description.

filter-mode
Specifies whether the subnets you add using the attribute subnet-filter are excluded from or included in the discovery
of advertised routes. If you specify include, and do not specify any IP addresses, no subnets are discovered. The
default is exclude with no IP addresses specified, which means that all advertised routes that conform to the
specified attributes are discovered.

idle-time-limit
Specifies the maximum length of time a route can be idle without being removed from discovery. The default value is 0.
Use the attribute time-unit to set the unit of measure. Use the attribute min-idle-time to set the minimum length of
idle time.

ip-ttl-limit
Specifies the number of network segments on which a packet is allowed to travel before the route is removed from
discovery. The more routers a packet travels through, the smaller the ip ttl value is. The range is 0 to 255. The
default value is 5.

max-server-count
Specifies the highest number of servers the system discovers before it stops looking. The default value is 50.

min-idle-time
Specifies the minimum length of time a route must be idle before being removed from discovery. The default value is 0,
which indicates that idle time is not considered in discovery. Use the attribute time-unit to set the unit of measure.
Use the attribute idle-time-limit to set the maximum length of idle time.

min-prefix-length-ipv4
Specifies the minimum prefix length for route aggregation in IPV4 networks. The range is 0 to 32. The default value is
32.

min-prefix-length-ipv6
Specifies the minimum prefix length for route aggregation in IPV6 networks. The range is 0 to 128. The default value
is 128.

mode Enables or disables the dynamic discovery of servers that can be reached through the local endpoint. For server
discovery to take place, the setting mode of the component wom endpoint-discovery must not be set to disabled.

rtt-threshold
Specifies that the system does not add servers it discovers with a round-trip time greater than this value, in
milliseconds. The default value is 10.

subnet-filter
Specifies the IP addresses of the subnets to include in or exclude from the discovery of advertised routes, depending
on the setting you selected for the attribute filter-mode. The default is none. If you selected include for the
attribute filter-mode, and do not specify any IP addresses, no subnets are discovered.

time-unit
Specifies the unit of measure (days, hours, or minutes) for the length of idle time specified using the attributes
idle-time-limit and min-idle-time.
