Introduction
WIM is the acronym for WAN Infrastructure Manager, which is a specialized VIM that allows to establish connectivity between different network endpoints at different NFVI-PoPs in the context of a multi-site service Wide Area Network (WAN).
For the establishment of the network connectivity, the WIM may rely on network controllers that handle the fulfilment of the connectivity at a lower level, potentially making use of different network technologies and protocols. The WIM offers to the consumers an abstraction of such network connectivity to ease the provisioning and monitoring of it.
WIM setup through OSM client
The following is the command needed to perform to setup the WIM in OSM. It must be filled with the appropriate parameters (e.g. site name: “wim-demo”, IP address: 10.10.10.10:8080, user: “username”, password: “userpwd”, wim_type: “type” port mapping: “sample_port_mapping.yml”)
osm wim-create --name wim-demo --url http://10.10.10.10:8080 --user username --password userpwd --wim_type type --description "Demo WIM" --wim_port_mapping sample_port_mapping.yml
