   <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_edit conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf
   
    
2. Exclude the interface using IFType or IFDescr.The following example (using IFType) will exclude IfType 1 from being discovered on Ascend Max-1800 device:
   
   IFTypePattern-.1.3.6.1.4.1.529.1.2.2 ~1
   
    
3. Restart the IP Server to apply the configuration changes.
