It is a config issue, but the situation is if we cannot change routing table as we do not have perm in a system is it possible to run slptool on LL? Its possible but with the routing limitation. We know the LL of the system where slpd is running, but to send a request we have 2 interface and we have to tell slptool to use one of the interfaces to send the request. -u wont work as we are not specifying the local address, rather the address of the system running slpd. I have not tested with -i though? So if i specify the ip of the interface to use will it work? Let me test it myself.
