Enabling interoperability with the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
To enhance overlapping IP address discovery, you enable
IP Availability Manager
to interoperate with the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
.Assuming that the DisableOverlappingIP, UseVPNIP, and EnableShadowIP parameters in the tpmgr-param.conf file are set as specified in the previous section, you do so by
setting the following parameter in
IP Availability Manager
’s discovery.conf file to TRUE:importExternalTagsConnections TRUE
In addition, you need to enable the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
to interoperate with IP Availability Manager
. You do so by adding IP Availability Manager
as a source to the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
. To enable interoperability between
IP Availability Manager
and the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
:- Consult the and the and follow the instructions to set the following parameter in the discovery.conf file to the value shown:importExternalTagsConnections TRUE
- Consult“Configuring the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server” on page 51and follow the instructions to addIP Availability Manageras a source to theMPLS VPN-Tagging Server.TheMPLS VPN-Tagging Serverperforms overlapping-IP and corresponding network-connection discovery in two vendor-specific environments: Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent. To complete the configuration of theMPLS VPN-Tagging Server, open the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/vpn-tagging/vpn-tagging.conf file and perform the following additional tasks:
- Mandatory and for Alcatel-Lucent only: Add the Enable5620SAMDiscovery parameter with a value of TRUE to the vpn-tagging.conf file.
- Optional and for Alcatel-Lucent only: Modify the default values of the AlcatelDiscoveryInterval parameter.
- Optional and for Cisco only: Modify the default values of the DiscoveryFilter parameter.These parameters are described in“Description of vpn-tagging.conf” on page 43.Descriptions ofMPLS VPN-Tagging Serverdiscovery are given in the .
