Network Service Descriptors Portlet
Use the Network Service Descriptors portlets (Figure 18-7) to maintain a list of network service
descriptors. These descriptors are templates used to create network service records that provision
virtualized network functions (VNFs) and physical network functions (PNFs) used to produce
connectivity.
From the Network Service Descriptors portlet, a system administrator creates and maintains the
descriptors, a network designer implements network services, and operators (if they have the proper
permissions) view descriptors to gain knowledge.
The Network Service Descriptors portlet also provides a maximized view that includes additional
filtering and the ability to export the table to a portable document format (PDF), Excel format, or
CSV format.
Both views have the same
pop-up menu options and by default the same columns . See Expanded
Portlet
on page 130 for a description of its standard options provided.
