Precautions
•
MVM allows only one device import operation (PE, CE, MCE or VMCE import) at a time.
During device importing, you can quit the operation. However, the started import operation
is still running on the server background. If you start a new import operation before the system
completes the previous one on the server background, the system prompts that an import
operation is running.
•
Each device can be imported as one type at a time. For example, if a device is imported as
a CE, you can import the device as a PE only after you remove the device from the CE device
list.
•
To import a device as a PE successfully, make sure that the device meets the following
conditions:
◦ The device is an SNMP device.
◦ The device model is supported by MVM.
◦ The device is managed by the network platform.
◦ The device supports the telnet protocol. The telnet parameters are configured correctly,
and the telnet user is authorized to get the device configuration.
◦ The device has configured BGP.
◦ The device has MPLS enabled or has VRF configured.
◦ The device is not imported as a CE.
◦ If you select the Filter devices according to AS number option, the device to be imported
must satisfy this condition.
Synchronize PE
MVM can synchronize MPLS related configuration information of each PE, including the device
VRF information, VRF routing information, and the interface list information of each VRF-bound
device. The VRF information includes VRF name, RD value, input and output RT list. The interface
information includes the interface name, IP address, and mask. After synchronization, configuration
audit is triggered to determine whether the VRF configuration of a PE has changed. If the
configuration is changed, MVM will give an alarm to you, and you can also see which SAs have
their configuration changed on the VPN information interface of the PE. And at the same time, on
the global network topology and the VPN access topology, the MVM will specially mark the VPN
links that have VRF changes with .
If the VRF configuration of a PE changes, you can re-perform link auto discovery for this PE to
update VPN topology in MVM, or you can deploy or remove VPNs on the network topology of
MVM to make configurations on the PE consistent with those on the MVM.
In the PE device list, you can view the last synchronization time and synchronization status of a
PE, and immediately synchronize one or more PEs. MVM provides immediate synchronization.
