Physical Network Function Portlets
This section describes the following Physical Network Function (PNF) portlets:
•
Physical Network Function Descriptors Portlet
• Physical Network Function Records Portlet
• Detail Portlets
Physical Network Function Descriptors Portlet
Use the Physical Network Function Descriptors portlet (Figure 18-19) to view, create, and maintain
PNF descriptors. The PNF descriptors are used to define network connections between a PNF and
other network instances, such as network service, virtualized network functions, virtual links, and
so on.
From the Physical Network Functions Descriptors portlet, a system administrator creates and
maintains the PNF descriptors, a network designer PNFs, and operators (if they have the proper
permissions) view descriptors to gain knowledge.
The Physical Network Function 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.
