How do I manage LSPs in the Network Inventory?

Purpose

You can monitor and create LSPs from the LSPs dashlet in the Network Inventory. The LSPs dashlet is hidden by default. You must modify the Network Map and Health dashboard to display the LSPs dashlet in the Network Inventory; see “How do I customize a dashboard?” in the NSP User Guide.

The LSPs dashlet can display up to 50 000 LSPs.

Prerequisites

Before you can perform this procedure, the following prerequisites must be completed.

  1. Obtain the Predefined IETF Intents zip file and the data sync artifact bundle (nsp-mdt-intents-23.11.xx-rel.xx-tunnel-mapping-bundle.zip).

  2. Import the IETF intent types into NSP; see “How do I import an intent type from my computer?” in the NSP Network Automation Guide.

  3. Install the data sync artifact bundle; see “How do I install an artifact bundle?” in the NSP Network Automation Guide.

  4. If you will be creating LSPs through the IETF-TE-TUNNEL model, run the IETF_Yang_Intent_Mapping request by selecting the IntentMapping.json from Postman.

  5. Create a configuration template using the icm-te-tunnel intent type. The name of the template must be DefaultLspTemplate. See “How do I create a configuration template” in the NSP Device Management Guide.
