Optimizing the discovery of ERX devices

To optimize the discovery of Juniper ERX devices:

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 all or any of the following parameters to optimize the discovery of Juniper ERX devices in your environment:

   ERXIfExcludeSysPattern 
   ERXIfExcludeTypePattern
   ERXIfExcludeDescrPattern
   IFTypePattern
   IFDescrPattern
   

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
