Have a look at the Enterprise VPN Manager on each landscape and check: 1) Discover On Activation = No 2) Create on Trap = No 3) Enable Background Discovery = No
However if you're running BGP across the links, Provider Cloud is the method Spectrum uses to model a BGP link. For our purposes it works quite well provided you get the ASN mapping set up correctly so you don't end up with 20+ Cloud models for the same provider just because they're using more than one ASN. Also look into using proxy models to model your links instead of "one armed bandit" connections. Model both end routers on each Spectroserver, but set the A end of one of them to be a Proxy Model on the first Spectroserver and the B end as a proxy model on the other Spectroserver. That way you'll get full connectivity modelled across your multiple landscapes when you use WA_Links or direct links. David K.

We have two Spectro servers, each polling half the network. As the network is richly connected, we have many circuits that cross spectroserver polling boundaries, so our technique is to model each half of such a circuit on each spectroserver (so that you have a bunch of "one-armed bandit" wa_links, and then model them together on a global collection. All of these links are tunnels. Recently, Spectrum has started automatically replacing the wa_link models with provider_cloud models (we are doing bgp across these links as they connect the various regions of our network). Today, I went in and destroyed all the provider_cloud models, did "discover connections" on all the relevant devices, and the WA_Links were created just fine. Then this evening, poof! All the single ended wa_links are converted into provider_clouds. Does not appear to happen on Wa_links on physical ports, just tunnels. The event log says it was created by a "unser initiated discovery". We really need to see the wa_link for each tunnel. How can I get Spectrum to stop this behavioiur? Thanks in advance. -B_ Bruce D.
