In the following properties, the host names are either set during the MPLS VPN Solution software installation, or later modified by hand. The DNS domain name can be blank, but it must match what was entered during the Cisco IP Manager installation. The backup NEM Server is not supported in Cisco IP Manager 2.0. A convention to uniquely identify domains and networks in both of the systems is required. Networks cannot contain other networks.
All domain names are unique.
All element names must be unique in each domain. The MPLS VPN Solution software network can also preexist anywhere in the Cisco IP Manager domain hierarchy. The DIPM Server searches for the element in Cisco IP Manager, if not found it will create the element in the Cisco IP Manager domain corresponding to the MPLS VPN Solution software network if it exists. This process effectively synchronizes the elements in the MPLS VPN Solution software system into the Cisco IP Manager system, if the Cisco IP Manager system has no elements. If the DIPM Server finds the element, it checks to see if the connection type is console.
