To name a discovered MPLS, VPN, or BGP object, MPLS Manager uses the appropriate naming format in Naming formats for discovered MPLS objects through Naming formats for discovered BGP objects to assign the object a unique name.

Table 1. Naming formats for discovered MPLS objects

Class

Naming format

MPLSService 1

Name:MPLS-<host device name>

Example:MPLS-qa-vplsce2

DisplayName:<empty, which means that DisplayName defaults to Name>

LSP 1

Name of an LSP object depends on LSP type:

  • TE tunnel

  • Primary TE LSP

  • Backup TE LSP

  • P2MP LSP

  • subLSP

  • LDP LSP

In some cases, name of an LSP object also depends on discovery source: SNMP or CLI.

Naming format for TE tunnel

Name:TETunnel-<tunnel name>/<source device name>_<tunnel ID>

Example:TETunnel-dev-VPLS6_t9888/dev-Vpls6_9888

DisplayName:<same as Name>

Note:

No tunnel IDs appear in the TE tunnel names for Juniper M/T devices.

Naming format for primary TE LSP

Name:LSP-<source device name>/<outgoing label of first LSP segment>/<outgoing    interface name of first LSP segment>/<outgoing interface number of first LSP       segment>-><destination device name>/<LSP identifier>/<tunnel name>_Primary

Example:LSP-dev-Vpls6/-1/IF-dev-Vpls6/1->dev-MPLSp5/192.168.5.1/dev-VPLS6_t8695_   Primary

DisplayName:<tunnel name>_Primary

Example:dev-VPLS6_t8695_Primary

The LSP in this example is an SNMP-discovered LSP that is built on Cisco IOS devices. For LSPs that are built on Cisco IOX devices, CLI discovery is sometimes used to discover path-protection LSPs. For a TE LSP that is discovered in this manner, both Name and DisplayName are set to the CLI output.

LSP 1(continued)

Naming format for backup TE LSP

Name:LSP-<source device name>/<outgoing label of first LSP segment>/<outgoing    interface name of first LSP segment>/<outgoing interface number of first LSP       segment>-><destination device name>/<LSP identifier>/         <tunnel name>_Secondary

Example:LSP-dev-Vpls6/-1/IF-dev-Vpls6/1->dev-MPLSp5/192.168.5.1/dev-VPLS6_t9888_   Secondary

DisplayName:<tunnel name>_Secondary

Example:dev-VPLS6_t9888_Secondary

Naming format for P2MP LSP

Name:P2MP-<discovered P2MP LSP name>

Name:LSP-<source device name>-><destination device name>/-<first hop (source device)    outgoing label>-<next hop outgoing label>- ... -<last hop outgoing label (3 = POP)>

LSPHop 1

Name of an LSPHop object depends on type of LSP to which LSP hop belongs:

  • Primary TE LSP

  • Backup TE LSP

  • subLSP

  • LDP LSP

In some cases, name of an LSPHop object also depends on discovery source: SNMP or CLI.

Naming format for LSPHop that belongs to primary TE LSP

Name:LSPHop-<source device name>/<outgoing interface name>/<outgoing interface    number>-><destination device name>/<LSP identifier>/<tunnel name>_Primary

Example:LSPHop-dev-Vpls6/IF-dev-Vpls6/1->dev-MPLSp9/192.168.5.1/dev-VPLS6_t8695_Primary

DisplayName:<same as Name>

DisplayName:<same as Name>

LSPHop 1(continued)

Naming format for LSPHop that belongs to LDP LSP

For an LDP-LSP-related LSP hop that has a label = 3, the outgoing label value is replaced with POP. POP stands for penultimate hop pop.

Outgoing label not equal to 3:

Name:LSPHop-<source device name>_<hop outgoing label>-><destination device name>

Example:LSPHop-qa-vpls4_33->qa-vpls1

DisplayName:<same as Name>

Outgoing label equal to 3:

Name:LSPHop-<source device name>_POP-><destination device name>

Example:LSPHop-qa-mplsp1_POP->qa-vpls2

DisplayName:<same as Name>
