Description of vpn-tagging.conf

The vpn-tagging.conf file contains configuration parameters that you edit to customize discovery for the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
. The parameters are a subset of attributes that are defined for the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
(“VPNTagging-Manager” object) in the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
environment.
The
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
performs overlapping-IP and corresponding network-connection discovery in two vendor-specific environments: Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent. The
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
can perform discovery in both environments at the same time.
Parameters in the vpn-tagging.conf file describes the parameters in the vpn-tagging.conf file. The parameters and their values are case-sensitive.
Parameters in the vpn-tagging.conf file
Parameter
Value
Description
1  To enable this parameter, add the following parameter and value to this file: Enable5620SAMDiscovery = TRUE
General options
DiscoveryFilter
(Cisco only)
Regular expression
Default: “*”
Limits
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
discovery to specific Cisco devices.
You can use the wildcards described in Appendix A, “Wildcard Patterns,” to specify matching patterns for the DiscoveryFilter parameter. For example:
DiscoveryFilter = "*-pe-*.net|128.12*.*.*|apic*"
DiscoveryFilter is an inclusive-type filter. Any device that has a name that matches the filter is included in the discovery. Any device that has a name that does not match the filter is excluded from the discovery.
AlcatelDiscoveryInterval 1
Integer
Default: 7200 seconds
The interval that is used by the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
to perform full discovery of the Alcatel-Lucent devices. The devices are identified in the Global_TopologyCollection objects that are imported from
IP Availability Manager
.

“Configuring the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server” on page 51
clarifies the use of this object and its attributes.
As indicated in the footnote of the table, you must add the following parameter and value to the vpn-tagging.conf file to enable the Alcatel-Lucent device discovery:
Enable5620SAMDiscovery = TRUE
By default, the discovery is disabled.
