Most of the configuration tasks for configuring the Global Manager in an MPLS Manager deployment are accomplished by using the Global Manager Administration Console view of the Global Console. Global Manager Administration Console interaction with the Global Manager summarizes the Global Manager Administration Console interaction with the Global Manager.

IC Domain Configuration objects and their relationships shows the relationships between Domain Group, Domain, Domain Type, and Domain Tag configuration objects.

The intent of the Domain Group is to represent the component servers of a split-server Domain Manager as a single entity. Doing so makes a split-server Domain Manager look just like a standalone Domain Manager to administrators and users.

Default MPLS domain group and IP Availability Manager domain identifies the default MPLS domain group configurations and the default IP Availability Manager domain configurations that are held by the Global Manager.

Figure 3. Default MPLS domain group and IP Availability Manager domain

The default MPLS domain group is named INCHARGE-MPLS, and the default IP Availability Manager domain is named INCHARGE-AM.

Because the name of an MPLS component server is the name of its MPLS domain group appended with -TOPOLOGY, -MONITORING, or -ANALYSIS, the names of the topology, monitoring, and analysis component servers of the default INCHARGE-MPLS domain group are:

  • INCHARGE-MPLS-TOPOLOGY

  • INCHARGE-MPLS-MONITORING

  • INCHARGE-MPLS-ANALYSIS
