Configure individual Network Protocol Managers

Before starting a Network Protocol Manager for BGP or Network Protocol Manager for OSPF, configure the DisplayName variable, and restart the Manager without the Repository (.rps file).

Note:

If your Network Protocol Manager installation is new and does not have a Repository file, do not perform step 5.

1. If running, stop the Network Protocol Manager, as described in the Smarts Network Protocol Management Suite Installation Guide.

2. At NPM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin, enter the following command:

   sm_edit conf/<bgp or ospf_directory>/<bgp or ospf>.conf
   

3. Locate the variable, IsDisplayNameCustom, and set the value to “TRUE”, as follows:

   IsDisplayNameCustom = TRUE
               

4. Save and close the file.

5. If the Network Protocol Manager has a Repository (.rps file), first remove it. If these is no Repository file, skip this step.

   At NPM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin, enter the following command:

   rm  ../local/repos/icf/<bgp or ospf_
                  repository_filename
                  >
               

6. Start the Adapter.

7. Start the Network Protocol Manager.

8. After all of the Network Protocol Managers in your deployment are started, launch a full discovery using the following command:

   bin/sm_adapter -s <ASAM adapter name> alcatel-sam/discover.asl
