1 Introduction
This document describes the basic information on how to configure a Dynamic Activation system in an OpenStack deployment. By using this document readers are able to get necessary information about the parameters used in the installation.
1.1 Target Groups
The target groups for this document are as follows:
- Network Administrator
- System Administrators
- System Integrator
- Technicians who perform the VNF installation
Basic knowledge about Linux and general information about Dynamic Activation is needed for installation of the software.
1.2 Typographic Conventions
Typographic conventions are described in the document Library Overview, Reference [3].
For information about abbreviations used throughout this document refer to Glossary of Terms and Acronyms, Reference [1].
1.2.1 Parameters
The parameters in this document can be of the following types:
P - Predefined, not possible to change.
C - Customer configured after discussions with Ericsson.
D - Default, possible to change.
S - Site specific parameters. The site specific parameters can be identified in Customer Questionnaire for Virtual and Cloud Deployment, Reference [2].
2 Configuration
The following tables list parameters used when configuring Dynamic Activation in an OpenStack environment.
For more detailed information regarding network configuration, refer to Network Description and Configuration for Virtual and Cloud Deployment, Reference [4].
- Note:
- For Dynamic Activation deployed in OpenStack environment, only pure IPv4 is supported.
