The isis.conf file contains configuration parameters that you edit to customize Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS discovery. The parameters are a subset of attributes that are defined for the topology manager (ISIS-Adapter-Manager) that will run in the Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS environment.

Parameters in the isis.conf file describes the parameters in the isis.conf file. The parameters and their values are case-sensitive.

Parameter

Value

Description

Config

Regular expression: isis

Identifies this Domain Manager configuration as Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS.

Note:

Do not change this parameter.

AdminDownFlag

TRUE,FALSE

Default: FALSE

Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS generates alarms on the IS-IS adjacency relationships of IS-IS interfaces that are administratively down (manually disabled).

  • A value of TRUE indicates that alarms are not generated on the IS-IS adjacency relationships.

  • A value of FALSE indicates that alarms are generated on the IS-IS adjacency relationships.

ProhibitPrivLevelCLILogon

TRUE,FALSE

Default: FALSE

Controls whether the CLI login credentials for Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS are configured for Privileged mode or User mode.

  • A value of TRUE indicates that the credentials are configured for User mode.

  • A value of FALSE indicates that the credentials are configured for Privileged mode.

For User mode, a Privileged-mode enable password is not required when logging in to a managed device.

PrivLevel

enable_level_8,enable_level_1

Default: enable_level_8

Specified the access level of Privileged mode. PrivLevel is valid only when ProhibitPrivLevelCLILogon = FALSE.

  • PrivLevel = enable_level_8 configures the CLI login credentials for Privileged mode 8.

  • PrivLevel = enable_level_1 configures the CLI login credentials for Privileged mode 1.

Level 1 access is more restrictive than level 8 access. Both allow access to some information about a managed device, such as interfaces and the routes in routing tables, but neither allows configuration changes or the viewing of the running configuration file.

Note:

If you encounter discovery issues with Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS, shut down Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS, remove its repository file, set the PrivLevel parameter to enable_level_1, restart the manager, and perform a full discovery. The procedures for removing a repository file and performing a full discovery are presented in the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager Discovery Guide Supplement.

EnableIPv6Discovery

TRUE,FALSE

Default: TRUE

Determines the discovery of IPv6 topology by Network Protocol Manager for ISIS.

  • TRUE — Discovers IPv6 topology

  • FALSE— Does not discover the IPv6 topology.

    Note:

    Applicable only for BGP, OSPF and IS-IS.

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.
