Intentionally adding a duplicate device
Hello,
Previously I was able to add a duplicate entry for a device. At the time, it seemed like the easiest way to work around IOS-XR not being able to pull BGP session information inside a VRF from the default snmp context. Creating a separate SNMP context on the box for the VRF(s) in question, with a different community for each would let the duplicate entries poll the BGP session info from within whatever VRF that context included.
Now, when I try to add a duplicate it fails due to pre-existing sysName, snmpEngineID and entPhysicalSerialNum.
Is there a way to add duplicates anymore, or perhaps a different way to collect BGP session info from within VRF (in addition to the global table)?
Thanks in advance.
You could insert them directly into the database. Once they're in, they're in.

Indeed. That was certainly easy-peasy. Thanks!
