How do I create a router ID mapping policy?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a router ID mapping policy. NSP is able to discover and display multiple IGP instances (OSPF and ISIS), which are each discovered as a unique domain. These domains are interconnected on the same routers, which themselves have multiple instances defined. If the Router IDs for these instances are the same, they will be displayed as a single router on service management's multi-domain topology maps. If the Router IDs are different, a Router ID Mapping policy must be provisioned in order for the instances to be displayed as a single router on service management's multi-domain topology maps.

Steps
 
1 

From either the Path Control, Policies view or the Path Simulation, Policies view, choose Router ID Mapping from the drop-down menu and click Create Policy png5.png. The Create Router ID Mapping Policy form opens.

2 

Configure the required parameters:

Parameter

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the Router ID Mapping template

System IP Address

System Name

Specifies the router system name

PCC Address

Specifies the address of the PCC associated with the router

Description

Specifies the router description

Router Info

Click ADD to add as many Router Info entries, as required. For each Router Info entry, you must specify the following information:

  • Network Identifier

  • AS Number

  • BGP-LS ID (topology identifier)

  • Router ID

  • Protocol (the protocol that the IGP router is using)

3 

Click CREATE. The Router ID Mapping policy is created.
