On-demand discovery

In addition to periodic discovery, on-demand discovery of Alcatel-Lucent devices is supported. To enable the discovery of Alcatel-Lucent devices, you must add the following parameter and value to the vpn-tagging.conf file:

Enable5620SAMDiscovery = TRUE

“Configuring the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server” on page 47 refers to the vpn-tagging.conf file and provides information about configuring the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server.

An on-demand discovery can be initiated in any of the following ways:

• To initiate a discovery of all the devices in the MPLS VPN-Tagging Server’s discovery queue, go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the MPLS Management Suite installation area and enter either of the following commands:

                 dmctl -s <MPLS VPN-Tagging Server name> invoke 
                 
                    VPNTagging_Manager::VPNTagging-Manager::invoke5620SAMDiscovery
                 dmctl -s <MPLS VPN-Tagging Server name> put 
                 
                    VPNTagging_Manager::VPNTagging-Manager::Force5620SAMDiscovery 
                 
                       TRUE
              

• To initiate a discovery of all the devices in the Global_TopologyCollection objects, go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the MPLS Management Suite installation area and enter the following command:

                 dmctl -s <MPLS VPN-Tagging Server name> put 
                 
                    VPNTagging_Manager::VPNTagging-Manager::invokeDomainDiscovery
