Sonus SBC VNF Package Contents
The Sonus SBC VNF package contains artifacts necessary to install and deploy Virtualized Network
Functions (VNFs) for Sonus VSBC Virtualization Deployment Units (VDUs) offered.
The following sample VNF descriptors were created with basic flavors to deploy the VNF VDUs,
either as part of a standalone VNF record, or as part of a higher level, end-to-end Network Service
record.
•
Sonus VSBC Virtual Appliance
• Sonus VSBC Cluster
Sonus VSBC Virtual Appliance
The sample Sonus VSBC Virtual Appliance descriptor is located in the following file:
owareapps/nfv-vnfm-sonus/db/vnfd.sonus-virtual-appliance.xml
This is a standalone Sonus VSBC that you can deploy without a Network Service.
You can copy (branch) this basic Virtualized Network Function (VNF) housing a single VSBC SWe
Virtualization Deployment Units (VDU) using the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM)
VNFD portlet, Branch action and easily convert it to a non-standalone VNF to incorporate as a
VNF member of a higher-level Network Service descriptor.
The Sonus VSBC Virtual Appliance VNF descriptor defines a standalone VNF that deploys a single
VSBC VDU along with the required project networks and security groups in the OpenStack
environment.
The Sonus VSBC Virtual Appliance VNF creates the following artifacts during deployment:
• Tenant Router — OpenStack Neutron Router
• Private Tenant Networks required for the VSBC to connect with to function:
• Security Groups controlling TCP, UDP, and ICMP port access to/from the VSBC’s network
ports.
