Data Values Define one or more data value records. Enter a name, description, data type, and
value. The name and data type are required fields. The system generates the
UUID, Created, and Updated information.
Data values are typically captured at deploy time. They are either entered directly
by the user or extracted from the resulting deployed VDU. The types of values is
completely dependent upon the network service. For example:
• A VNF may need to know what the gateway IP address is for the service so that
it can properly configure the service.
• A value is extracted from the OpenStack system is the heat stack ID, that ID is
then used at a later date when undeploying the service.
Connection Points Define one or more connection points between the PNF and other network
instances, such as network service, virtualized network functions, virtual links, etc.
The name and connection type are required. Valid connection types are
EthernetPort, IPVPN, OTHER, PNIC, PPORT, VNIC (virtual network interface
controller), VPORT, VPORTLAN, VPORTWAN.
