How do you disable autodiscovery of Smarts MPLS domains after syncing with Smarts AM domains?

To disable autodiscovery of Smarts MPLS domains after syncing with Smarts AM domains, do the following:

1. Open the Smarts mpls.conf configuration file for editing using sm_edit.
2. Set the parameter StopAutoAMSync = TRUE (see Note statement).
3. Save and close the mpls.conf configuration file.
4. Restart the Smarts MPLS Domain.

Additional Information

When the StopAutoAMSync option is enabled (TRUE), the Smarts MPLS Domain will synchronize with the Smarts AM domain on startup, but there will be no subsequent "automatic" synchronization operations. To manually trigger a synchronization of the Smarts MPLS domain with Smarts AM domain and a subsequent MPLS discovery, you can use the following dmctl command:

dmctl -s <MPLS-DOMAIN-NAME> invoke ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager discoverAll
