Attributes
table of attributes
| Attribute | Qualifier | Cardinality | Content | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| layerProtocol | M | 1..* | LayerProtocol | Identifies which protocols the CP uses for connectivity purposes (Ethernet, MPLS, ODU2, IPV4, IPV6, Pseudo-Wire, etc.). |
| cpRole | M | 0..1 | String | Identifies the role of the port in the context of the traffic flow patterns in the VNF or parent NS. References: ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 |
| description | M | 0..1 | String | Provides human-readable information on the purpose of the CP (e.g. CP for control plane traffic). |
| cpProtocol | M | 1..* | CpProtocolData | 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. References: ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 |
| configurableProperties | M | 0..* | ConfigurableProperties | This information element defines the configurable properties of a VNFC. |
| trunkMode | M | 1 | Boolean | Information about whether the CP instantiated from this CPD is in Trunk mode (802.1Q or other). |
