Enabling BGP light discovery

By default, IP Availability Manager is not enabled to perform BGP light discovery. To enable this feature, set the DisableProtocolDiscovery parameter in IP Availability Manager’s tpmgr-param.conf file to FALSE.

To enable BGP light discovery:

1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the IP Manager installation area and type the following command to open the tpmgr-param.conf file:

                  sm_edit conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf
               

2. Set the following parameter to FALSE:

                  DisableProtocolDiscovery FALSE
               

3. Save and close the file.

   The modified version of the tpmgr-param.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/discovery directory.

4. If IP Availability Manager was running before you edited the tpmgr-param.conf file, type the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to make your change take effect:

                  sm_tpmgr -s <IP Availability Manager instance name>     --load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf
