Enabling the use of MPLS remote ping and LSP ping server tools

By default, the XML definition files for the MPLS remote ping and LSP ping server tools are not loaded into the
Global Manager
, which means that by default they are not available to a
Global Console
that is attached to the
Global Manager
. You use the Import XML Configuration server tool that is shown in Access to server tools for loading XML configuration files to load them.
Access to server tools for loading XML configuration files
The Import XML Configuration server tool is described in the
.
To load the MPLS remote ping and LSP ping server tools and to associate the tools to user profiles:
  1. Attach the Global Manager Administration Console to the target
    Global Manager
    .
    Instructions for opening the Global Manager Administration Console are presented in Chapter 4, “Opening the Global Console.”
  2. Select
    File > New > Topology Browser Console
    to launch a Topology Browser Console.
  3. In the Topology Browser Console, expand the configuration tree to display the
    InChargeDomain
    objects.
  4. Right-click the local
    InChargeDomain
    object that represents the
    Global Manager
    —for example,
    INCHARGE-SA (Local)
    —and select
    Server Tools > Import XML Configuration
    from the pop-up menu.
    The
    Import XML Configuration
    dialog box appears.
  5. In the dialog box, type
    mpls-action-config.xml
    and click
    OK
    to load the XML definition file for the remote ping server tools.
  6. Repeat Step 4 to redisplay the
    Import XML Configuration
    dialog box.
  7. In the dialog box, type
    lsp-ping-action.xml
    and click
    OK
    to load the XML definition file for the LSP ping server tools.
  8. Switch back to the Global Manager Administration Console.
  9. In the left panel of the Global Manager Administration Console, expand the configuration tree to display the
    Tools
    .
    The MPLS remote ping and LSP ping server tools appear in the
    Tools
    list. Because the names appears as black text, the domains are enabled.
  10. In the left panel of the Global Manager Administration Console, expand the configuration tree to display the
    User Profiles
    .
  11. Select a user profile (for example,
    admin-profile
    ) to display its configuration window.
  12. In the configuration window, locate
    Server Tools
    and click its
    Modify List
    button to launch the
    Modify Server Tools
    dialog box.
  13. In the
    Modify Server Tools
    dialog box, add the MPLS remote ping and/or LSP ping server tools to the user profile.
  14. Click

    to close the
    Modify Server Tools
    dialog box.
  15. In the configuration window, click
    Apply

  16. Repeat Steps 11 through 15 to add the MPLS remote ping and/or LSP ping server tools to any other user profiles that need them.
  17. Detach and reattach the
    Global Console
    to the
    Global Manager
    in order to see the MPLS remote ping and/or LSP ping server tool options on the pop-up menu. Start by selecting
