To import tunnels not managed by topology rules

Purpose

Perform this procedure to import a tunnel that is not managed by a topology rule. After you import the tunnel, the tunnel is managed by the rule. However, the rule does not enforce the source and destination IDs to match the rule group. If the imported tunnel is not part of the group, the execute button or change notifications by the group members do not apply, even though the imported tunnel is part of the rule.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Policies→Auto Tunnels→Auto Tunnel Rules from the NFM-P main menu. The Auto Tunnel Rules form opens.

2 

Select a topology rule type from the object drop-down menu.

3 

Choose a rule and click Properties. The properties form for the rule opens.

4 

Click on the Created/Imported Tunnel Elements tab, then click Import Tunnels. The Import Tunnels form opens.

5 

Click Add SDPs or Add LSPs and choose the required tunnels.

6 

For topology rules where the tunnel definition is SDP and the underlying transport is RSVP-LSP, you can associate the imported LSP with an LSP template to avoid unnecessary LSP creation by the rule.

  1. Choose an LSP from the list of imported LSPs.

  2. Click Associate Template With Imported LSP and choose an LSP template from the list of LSP templates that are associated with the rule.

    The Associate Template With Imported LSP button is available only for SDP-LSP rules that support the creation of multiple LSPs.

7 

Click on the Import button. The Import Tunnels form closes.

8 

Close the forms.
