Add Network Protocol Manager to the Failover Manager

Use the following steps to configure monitoring for Network Protocol Manager on the Failover Manager:

1. From the installation directory of Failover Manager (BASEDIR/smarts/bin), open the failover.conf file. Type:

                  ./sm_edit conf/failover/failover.conf
               

2. Add entries for BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF servers in the ServerSection of the failover.conf file.

   Example:

   ServerSection
   {    
      Server
       {
     DetachInterval = 300;
     Name           = "INCHARGE-BGP";
           ServerType     = "NPM";
           LocationA
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-A";
               PortNumber = 1679; 
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
           LocationB
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-B";
               PortNumber = 1679;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
       }
       Server
       {
     DetachInterval = 300;
     Name           = "INCHARGE-EIGRP";
           ServerType     = "NPM";
           LocationA
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-A";
               PortNumber = 1681;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
           LocationB
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-B";
               PortNumber = 1681;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
       }
   Server
       {
     DetachInterval = 300;
     Name           = "INCHARGE-ISIS";
           ServerType     = "NPM";
           LocationA
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-A";
               PortNumber = 1681;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
           LocationB
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-B";
               PortNumber = 1681;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
       }
   Server
       {
     DetachInterval = 300;
     Name           = "INCHARGE-OSPF";
           ServerType     = "NPM";
           LocationA
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-A";
               PortNumber = 1680;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
           LocationB
           {
               HostName   = "host-NPM-B";
               PortNumber = 1680;
               Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/NPM/smarts";
      }
       }
   

3. Save the failover.conf file and exit.

   Note:

   If you configure Network Protocol Manager for failover while the Failover Manager is already running, use the ic-failover-server script reload option to reload the failover.conf file and use the Reconfigure button in the Domain Manager Administration Console to reconfigure the Failover Manager.
