17 Having a management interface ready and reachable right after boot is critical
18 for driving Day 1 and Day 2 operations. Currently, OSM assumes that the VIM
19 assigns an IP address to the VNF from the pool in the management network (the
20 VNF can retrieve it via DHCP or metadata service, if available).
22 However, many legacy OSS assume that the VNFs should have a specific IP address
23 assigned from a pool of addresses that they manage (or that they can learn from
24 other systems). In those cases, OSM should provide a means to be told, at the
25 time of instantiation, which management IP address should be used. Please note
26 that this address cannot be part of the VNFD or the NSD or, otherwise, several
27 instances of the VNF/NS would have the same IP address, leading to collisions,
30 As a pre-requisite, OSM should provide a mean to specify parameters at the time
33 ## Demo or definition of done ##
34 - Create a NS with 2 VNFs, VNF-a and VNF-b.
35 - Instantiate the NS in a site with a VIM, letting the VIM select the
36 management IP addresses. Check that both VNFs are reachable using the reported
38 - Instantiate the NS again, now setting the IP address of VNF-a to a specific
39 IP address (let VNF-b obtain the IP address from the VIM, as above). Then check
40 that both VNFs are reachable using the appropriate IP addresses (VNF-a at the
41 one requested; VNF-b at the one reported by OSM).
