  2. Set the following parameter to TRUE:

    EnableIPSecDiscovery TRUE

  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. Issue the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to make your changes to the tpmgr-param.conf file take effect: 

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

  5. Type the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to open the discovery.conf file:

                   sm_edit conf/discovery/discovery.conf

  6. Set the following parameter to TRUE:

    autoReprobe_short TRUE

  7. Save and close the file.

  8. Issue the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to make your changes to the discovery.conf file take effect:

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

    The VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Concepts Guide describes IPSec tunnel discovery and short discovery.

    Also, if you have not already done so, consult “Setting SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN” on page 35 and set SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN to DISABLED in the runcmd_env.sh file.
