As with most
VMware Smart Assurance
configuration files, the mpls.conf, REMOTEPING.conf, and vpn-tagging.conf files are used to set attributes for certain objects within a server’s environment when the server starts up. The parameters and their values in a configuration file become the attributes and their values for the created objects.
For the mpls.conf file, as an example, the associated object is an instance of the MPLS Manager class and is named MPLS-Manager. This object is the topology manager for the
MPLS Topology Server
.
