The bgp.conf file contains configuration parameters that you edit to customize Network Protocol Manager for BGP discovery. The parameters are a subset of attributes that are defined for the topology manager (BGP-Adapter-Manager) that will run in the Network Protocol Manager for BGP environment.
Parameters in the bgp.conf file describes the parameters in the bgp.conf file. The parameters and their values are case-sensitive.
Parameter |
Value |
Description |
---|---|---|
Config |
Regular expression: bgp |
Identifies this Domain Manager configuration as Network Protocol Manager for BGP.
Note:
Do not change this parameter. |
TrapPort |
0, 162, 2049 to 65534 Default: 0 |
Enables the Network Protocol Manager for BGP built-in trap receiver, and specifies the port used by the trap receiver to receive traps.
“Procedure to configure the Network Protocol Manager built-in trap receiver” on page 89 clarifies the use of this parameter. |
TraceTraps |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Determines whether trap receiver tracing for Network Protocol Manager for BGP is enabled or disabled.
|
SyslogName |
Regular expression Default: empty string |
Enables the Network Protocol Manager for BGP built-in syslog adapter, and specifies the name of the local syslog file to be tailed by the syslog adapter.
Chapter 7, “Configuring Syslog Message Processing and Forwarding,” clarifies the use of this parameter. |
TraceSyslog |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Determines whether syslog adapter tracing for Network Protocol Manager for BGP is enabled or disabled.
|
AdminDownFlag |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for BGP generates alarms on the BGP sessions of BGP protocol endpoints that are administratively down (manually disabled).
|
IsDisplayNameCustom |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for BGP accepts topology objects from VMware Smart Assurance Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS (the Adapter).
When the Adapter is present, set the IsDisplayNameCustom parameter to TRUE. The Adapter is described in the VMware Smart Assurance Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS User Guide. |
EnableRRDiscovery |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for BGP discovers Route Reflectors.
To discover Route Reflectors, set the EnableRRDiscovery parameter to TRUE.
Note:
A Route Reflector is an Internal BGP (IBGP) peer router that passes IBGP learned routes to a set of IBGP neighbors. |
DisableBGPAlertsOnSNMPError |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for BGP should ignore
|
DisableAlertsOnCLIError |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for BGP should ignore the CLI errors.
|
EnableIPv6Discovery |
TRUE,FALSE Default: TRUE |
Controls the discovery of IPv6 topology by Network Protocol Manager for BGP.
|
ProbeAllSystemsForIPv6 |
TRUE,FALSE Default: TRUE |
Controls the discovery probe for all systems in an IPv6 network by Network Protocol Manager for BGP.
|
RemoveOneMemberBGPSessionGroups |
TRUE,FALSE Default: TRUE |
Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for BGP If this flag is set to TRUE then NPM BGP domain manager will remove one member BGPSessionGroups. |
Type |
AM |
Indicates the type of the Domain Manager that is added as a topology source. |
DomainName |
INCHARGE-AM
Note:
This is the default domain name. You can use the right click option to delete it from the Domain Manager Administration Console, and then update the configuration file by commenting out the DomainName parameter. |
This is the name of the IP Domain Manager that is added as a topology source. |
DisplayName |
INCHARGE-AM |
This is the display name of the IP Domain Manager that is added as a topology source. |
EnableReconfigureLaunchedLiteSynchronization |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Introduced with Network Protocol Manager 9.2.x patches, enables light discovery. To enable light discovery, set the EnableReconfigureLaunchedLiteSynchronization and EnablePeriodicLiteSynchronization parameters to TRUE and restart the Network Protocol Manager for BGP. Only newly-added devices are detected and imported into Network Protocol Manager for BGP. By default, light discovery between Network Protocol Manager for BGP and IP Availability Manager is disabled. |
EnablePeriodicLiteSynchronization |
TRUE,FALSE Default: FALSE |
Introduced with Network Protocol Manager 9.2.x patches, enables periodic light discovery. |
LiteSynchronizationInterval |
3600 |
Introduced with Network Protocol Manager 9.2.x patches, is the interval in seconds for light discovery. Used with EnableReconfigureLaunchedLiteSynchronization and EnablePeriodicLiteSynchronization parameters. |
