Enabling MPLS-BGP cross-domain correlation
By default, the MPLS-BGP cross-domain correlation feature is disabled.
You can edit
the mpls.conf file and enable this feature. The lines to be edited are:
# ENABLE_XD_EBGP=TRUE # ENABLE_XD_IBGP=TRUE . . . InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_INCHARGE-BGP { Type = "BGP" DomainName = "INCHARGE-BGP" DisplayName = "INCHARGE-BGP" }
To enable MPLS-BGP cross-domain correlation:
- Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in theMPLS Management Suiteinstallation area and type the following command to open the mpls.conf file:sm_edit conf/mpls-t/mpls.conf
- Find the section,L2vpn options, and then find the following lines:# ENABLE_XD_EBGP=TRUE # ENABLE_XD_IBGP=TRUE
- Uncomment either of the lines or both lines by removing the # character.An uncommentedENABLE_XD_EBGP=TRUEenables theMPLS Topology Serverto discover eBGP sessions.An uncommentedENABLE_XD_IBGP=TRUEenables theMPLS Topology Serverto discover iBGP sessions.
- Find the section,Instances of BGP Server, and then find the following object definition:InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_INCHARGE-BGP { Type = "BGP" DomainName = "INCHARGE-BGP" DisplayName = "INCHARGE-BGP" }
- Make the following edits to the object definition:
- On theInChargeDomainandDomainNamelines, changeINCHARGE-BGPto the name of your .
- On theDisplayNameline, changeINCHARGE-BGPto the name that you want to see for the in theGlobal Console.Example of a customized object definition for :InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_ASIA-BGP1 { Type = "BGP" DomainName = "ASIA-BGP1" DisplayName = "ASIA-BGP1" }
- Save and close the file.The modified version of the mpls.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/mpls-t directory.
- If theMPLS Topology Serverwas running before you edited the mpls.conf file, restart theMPLS Topology Server.
