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.
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 . |
Instances of AM Server | ||
InChargeDomain:: InChargeDomain_INCHARGE-AM { Type = "AM" DomainName = "INCHARGE-AM" DisplayName = "INCHARGE-AM" } | As shown | The default IP Availability Manager from which
the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server in this deployment is to import topology.“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.
