Symptoms
Using IFDescrPattern in Smarts AM to exclude interface creation in tpmgr-param.conf does not work
Cause
When excluding interface from being discovered with IFDescrPattern, it must be used in combination with IFTypePattern.
Resolution
To use IFDescrPattern to exclude a statement, you need to add the IFTypePattern to the tpmgr-param.conf configuration file. The following shows how you could exclude the word "Voice": Use sm_edit to open the tmpgr_param.conf configuration file for editing as follows: <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_edit conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf Add the IFTypePattern to this file as in the following example (see Note statement): IFTypePattern-.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.558 ~103 IFDescrPattern-.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.558 ~Voice* Run the following command for the changes in this file to take effect: <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_tpmgr -s <AM server name> --load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf Rediscover/discover the device.
Related Information
The IFDescrPattern is not case sensitive. In the above example, you could specify "Voice" or "voice" as the exclusion statement.
