Autoconfiguration configuration file: mpls-tma.conf

The mpls-tma.conf file, located in the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/mpls-tma directory, groups the MPLS servers according to the MPLS Topology Server. Figure 11 on page 56 shows the content of the mpls-tma.conf file as shipped with MPLS Manager.

When a user installs the MPLS component servers as services during the MPLS Manager installation, the installation program runs a script that automatically:

• Creates the service commands, one for each MPLS server.

• Populates the MPLS server names in the service commands with the MPLS domain group name that is specified by the user.

• Writes the specified MPLS domain group name to a local copy of the mpls-tma.conf file upon installing the services. The local copy of the mpls-tma.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/mpls-tma directory.

  The default MPLS domain group name is INCHARGE-MPLS, as shown in Figure 11 on page 56. The default services that are created during an MPLS Manager installation are shown in Figure 12 on page 57.

  After installation, a user can change the MPLS group name in the services at any time by running a Perl script named server_config.pl. The script operates the same way as the installation program script just described, and ends by writing the updated MPLS group name to the mpls-tma.conf file. Examples of using the server_config script are included in the VMware Smart Assurance MPLS Management Suite Installation Guide.
