Enabling the creation of a physical connection for a shared MAC address

To enable the IP Manager to create a physical connection for a shared MAC address:

1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the IP Manager installation area and type the following command to open the tpmgr-param.conf file:

                  sm_edit conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf
               

2. Set the following parameter to the sysObjectID of the target device and to the ifType values of the target virtual interfaces:

   IfVirtualTypePattern-<sysObjectID> <interface type pattern>
   ifVirtualTypePattern-.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.452 135|136
   

3. Save and close the file.

   The modified version of the tpmgr-param.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/discovery directory.

4. Type the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to implement your changes:

                  sm_tpmgr -s <
                  
                     IP Manager
                  
                   instance name
                  > 
                  
                     --load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf
               

5. Press Enter.
