HP network discovery service flooding network with SLP / SRVLOC requests
- by Chipmunk
I am having trouble with "HP Network discovery service" which I think is responsible for flooding my network with SLP/SRVLOC requests. This has happened on multiple occasions on different devices where some HP printer software installed.
Have I misconfigured something in my network that causes this? Or is the HP service at fault?
The destination address (224.0.1.60) and SLP confirm that it is a HP service that is doing this. Also the service url in the packets read: "service:x-hpnp-discover:" further confirms this.
Why is this happening? I doubt HP would release faulty software like this? So this leaves me thinking that maybe some settings on the HP Procurves are not set up properly?
Comments and suggestions welcome, thank you.
Kind regards,
Chris
