PnfExtCpd

A PnfExtCpd is a type of Cpd and describes the characteristics of an external interface, a.k.a external CP, where to connect the PNF to a VL.  A PnfExtCpd inherits from the Cpd Class.

...

A Cpd information element describes network connectivity to a compute resource or a VL. This is an abstract class used as parent for the various Cpd classes.

Description

cpdId

Identifier

1

 


Identifier of this Cpd information element.

 

 



cpRole

String

0..1

 


Identifies the role of the port in the context of the traffic flow patterns in the VNF, PNF or parent NS.  For example a VNF with a tree flow pattern within the VNF will have legal cpRoles of ROOT and LEAF.

 

 



description

String

0..1

 


Provides human-readable information on the purpose of the CP (e.g. CP for control plane traffic).

 

 



cpProtocol

CpProtocolData

1..*

 


Identifies the protocol layering information the CP uses for connectivity purposes and associated information. There shall be one cpProtocol for each layer protocol as indicated by the attribute layerProtocol.  Editor's note: the attribute "layerProtocol" still needs further discussion and not included in this table.

 

 



trunkMode

Boolean

1

 


Information about whether the CP instantiated from this CPD is in Trunk mode (802.1Q or other).
