  5. From the Port drop-down list, select the port on the controller to be used for the mobility agent process. Ensure that the port selected is routable on the network.
  6. From the Discovery Method drop-down list, select one of the following:
    • SLPD — Service Location Protocol Daemon, a background process acting as an SLP server, provides the functionality of the Directory Agent and Service Agent for SLP. Use SLP to locate the area mobility manager controller.
    • Static Configuration — You must provide the IP address of the mobility manager manually. Defining a static configuration for a mobility manager IP address bypasses SLP discovery.
  7. In the Mobility Manager Address box, type the IP address for the designated mobility manager. The Backup Manager Address box displays the IP address of the backup controller.
  8. Click Save.
