Limitations

Although you can use the dmctl command to override parameter values in the bgp.conf, eigrp.conf, isis.conf, or ospf.conf file, your changes might not take effect because Network Protocol Manager reads some parameters only at startup.

For example, even if you issue the dmctl command to override the TrapPort or SyslogName setting in the bgp.conf file, your change will not be known to the target Network Protocol Manager for BGP until you:

1. Use the sm_edit utility to make the change to the TrapPort or SyslogName parameter in the bgp.conf file.

2. Restart the target Network Protocol Manager for BGP.
