ACTIVE & AVAILABLE INVENTORY (A&AI) PNF RECORD | |
PNF-NAME | “pnf-name”. The pnf-name is the Key in AAI. The pnf-id is the first three letters of the Vendor and the PNF serial number. This is a unique identifier for the PNF instance. It is also referred to as the Correlation ID. It can serve as a unique key for the PNF. Note: The MAC address and serial number are not unique across vendors; but are unique per vendor, hence the Vendor name is added to insure uniqueness. Note: in R4/R6 there was a request to use PNF-id instead of PNF-name but that proposal has been rejected. |
EQUIP-TYPE | The equip-type parameter gives the type of the PNF. |
EQUIP-VENDOR | The equip-vendor is an optional parameter which indicates the vendor for the PNF. For example, Nokia or Ericsson. |
EQUIP-MODEL | The equip-model is an optional parameter which indicates the model of the PNF. |
PNF-ID | This is the UUID which is a service provider assigned number from for example a network planner.. |
IPADDRESS V4-OAM | This is the Manager IP Address in IPv4 for the PNF. For a DU, this might be a CU IP address; (FYI/ ipaddress-v4-loopback-0). |
| IPADDRESS v6-OAM | This is the Manager IP Address in IPv6 for the PNF. For a DU, this might be a CU IP address; |
MAC ADDRESS | This is the MAC address of the PNF. This is a service field. |
SERIAL NUMBER | This is the serial number of the PNF. This is a service field. |
PROXY IP ADDRESS | This field contains the proxy IP address for the PNF. |

| A&AI PNF ENTRY | BASED ON pnfREGISTRATION VES FIELD |
|---|---|
| serial-number | serialNumber |
| equip-vendor | vendorName |
| equip-model | modelNumber |
| equip-type | unitType |
| pnf-name | sourceName |
| pnf-id | (PNF-ID is NOT used) |
| ipaddress-v4-oam | oamV4IpAddress |
| ipaddress-v6-oam | oamV6IpAddress |
| software_versions | software_versions [1] { softwareVersion (from pnfRegistration) activeSw = "True" } Note: During PNF Registration only the Active S/W is reported by the PNF. And so only the entry of the PNF A&AI array with the "activeSw" = True would be updated. The PNF S/W upgrade management U/C will update the entire array through the operations of S/W management. |
