HP Intelligent Management Center Licenses - Manual (Page 81)

Parameters
•
The type of the non-managed device cannot be modified. The interfaces that have already
connected to the device cannot be removed.
Auto discovery
The auto discovery function provides you an easy way to analyze and combine SCs to discover
all the VPNs and VPN links in the network by using device parameters in the current networking.
VPN auto discovery
The VPN auto discovery function discovers VPNs and VPN links existing on a network through
collected VRF information of PEs. MVM can display the changes of VPN infrastructure based on
the discovery results, and then synchronize the changes or display prompt information if it is not
the first time to perform VPN auto discovery. For an existing VPN link, if discovered not belonging
to any VPN managed by MVM, the link will be removed from the VPN access topology and marked
as
in global topology.
Operation Procedure
1. Click the Service tab, and then click MPLS VPN Manager > Auto Discovery in the navigation
tree to enter the VPN Auto Discovery page.
2. Click Select PE to select a PE device and then click Auto Discovery.
3. After auto discovery, all the VPNs discovered will be listed on the Summary page.
4. Click OK to enter the Add Link page. For details, refer to Add Link.
Parameters
•
Remove all invalid links: If it is selected, all invalid links in the system will be removed.
•
Synchronize PE device before auto discovery: The system synchronizes the selected PEs first
to use the latest configuration to discover VPN.
•
Status: Status information of all the VPNs discovered is listed on the Summary page.
Already exist: New links belonging to this VPN are discovered. ◦
◦ Add: The newly discovered VPN.
◦ Conflict: The newly discovered VPN's SC is conflicted with another VPN's.
Precautions
•
An SC cannot be discovered if its RT value is the same with that of the management VPN.
•
The newly discovered VPN and its SC information will be automatically added to iMC; if a
new SC exists in the VPN, then the SC will be added to the VPN.
•
During auto discovery process MVM will take a VRF name as discovered VPN name. If there
are VRFs in devices whose names are the same as existing VPN in MVM then MVM will add
an accumulated number at the tail, and then add the VRF into MVM. For instance there is a
VPN named ABC in MVM. There is a new VRF named ABC in a PE device. Execute auto
discovery process. MVM will name the new VPN ABC1.
•
MVM can discover two types of SCs. By control of import and export of the RTs, multiple hub
sites can communicate with one another.
◦ The SC in Full-Mesh networking: Import RT=100:1 and Export RT=100:1.
◦ The SC in Hub-Spoke networking: Import RT=100:1 and Export RT=200:1.
