Starting the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
As a prerequisite, the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
must be started before
IP Availability Manager
begins its discovery.
VMware online support website
recommends installing
VMware Smart Assurance
products as services. On a UNIX system, a sample command for installing the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
as a service is:
/opt/InCharge/MPLS/smarts/bin/sm_service install --force --unmanaged --startmode=runonce --name=ic-vpn-tagging --description="VMware Smart Assurance MPLS VPN-Tagging Server" /opt/InCharge/MPLS/smarts/bin/sm_server --name=VPN-TAGGING --config=vpn-tagging --ignore-restore-errors --output
The command for starting the service is:
/opt/InCharge/MPLS/smarts/bin/sm_service start ic-vpn-tagging
At startup, the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
reads the vpn-tagging.conf file, saves the configuration information in that
file to the repository, and attempts to connect to the one or more
IP Availability Manager
s
that are specified in the file.
If an
IP Availability Manager
is
not running, the
MPLS VPN-Tagging Server
will periodically attempt to connect to the
IP Availability Manager
.
