The vpn-tagging.conf file contains configuration parameters that you edit to customize discovery for the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server. The parameters are a subset of attributes that are defined for the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server (“VPNTagging-Manager” object) in the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server environment.
The MPLS VPN-Tagging Server performs overlapping-IP and corresponding network-connection discovery in two vendor-specific environments: Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent. The MPLS VPN-Tagging Server can perform discovery in both environments at the same time.
Parameters in the vpn-tagging.conf file describes the parameters in the vpn-tagging.conf file. The parameters and their values are case-sensitive.
| Parameter |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 To enable this parameter, add the following parameter and value to this file: Enable5620SAMDiscovery = TRUE |
||
| General options |
||
| DiscoveryFilter (Cisco only) |
Regular expression Default: “*” |
Limits MPLS VPN-Tagging Server discovery to specific Cisco devices. You can use the wildcards described in Appendix A, “Wildcard Patterns,” to specify matching patterns for the DiscoveryFilter parameter. For example: DiscoveryFilter = "*-pe-*.net|128.12*.*.*|apic*" DiscoveryFilter is an inclusive-type filter. Any device that has a name that matches the filter is included in the discovery. Any device that has a name that does not match the filter is excluded from the discovery. |
| AlcatelDiscoveryInterval 1 |
Integer Default: 7200 seconds |
The interval that is used by the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server to perform full discovery of the Alcatel-Lucent devices. The devices are identified in the Global_TopologyCollection objects that are imported from IP Availability Manager. |
| Instances of AM Server |
||
| InChargeDomain:: InChargeDomain_INCHARGE-AM { Type = "AM" DomainName = "INCHARGE-AM" DisplayName = "INCHARGE-AM" } |
As shown |
The default IP Availability Manager from which the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server in this MPLS Manager deployment is to import topology. “Configuring the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server” on page 51 clarifies the use of this object and its attributes. |
As indicated in the footnote of the table, you must add the following parameter and value to the vpn-tagging.conf file to enable the Alcatel-Lucent device discovery:
Enable5620SAMDiscovery = TRUE
By default, the discovery is disabled.
