Enabling overlapping IP address discovery
By default,
IP Availability Manager
is not enabled to perform overlapping IP address discovery. To enable this feature, set the following parameters in IP Availability Manager
’s tpmgr-param.conf file to the shown values:DisableOverlappingIP FALSE UseVPNIP FALSE EnableShadowIP TRUE (default)
Be aware that in
IP Manager
7.0.4, the UseVPNIP value is TRUE by default because of the following uncommented entry in the tpmgr-param.conf file:UseVPNIP TRUE
Because this entry has been deleted from the tpmgr-param.conf file in
IP Manager
8.1, add UseVPNIP FALSE
to the tpmgr-param.conf file to ensure that tagged IP
and IPNetwork objects, not VPNIP and VPNIPNetwork objects, are created for the discovered VRF IP addresses.To enable overlapping IP discovery:
- Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in theIP Managerinstallation area and type the following command to open the tpmgr-param.conf file:sm_edit conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf
- Set the following three parameters to the values shown:DisableOverlappingIP FALSEUseVPNIP FALSEEnableShadowIP TRUE
- Save and close the file.The modified version of the tpmgr-param.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/discovery directory.
- IfIP Availability Managerwas running before you edited the tpmgr-param.conf file, type the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to make your change take effect:sm_tpmgr -s<IP Availability Managerinstance name>--load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf
